We also want to note that fried dishes do work with hot oil which can be dangerous to work with if you are not careful. You should avoid splashing things into the oil and instead lower the pieces of corn with a tool that gently places them in the hot oil. Adjust your heat to ensure that your oil is hot but not bubbling for the best results!
