How we write these guides
Each guide starts from the official safe temperatures published by Health Canada and the USDA, then gives a time range that works across typical 4–6 quart basket fryers. Where a food behaves differently from frozen, at different thicknesses, or in oven-style fryers, the guide says so. We don't invent precise numbers: time ranges are ranges because fryers differ, and a thermometer is always the final check.
