At what time should you shake the fryer basket when cooking Fried White Cheddar Bites?

Shaking the fryer basket during the cooking process is a crucial step to ensure even cooking and optimal texture for Fried White Cheddar Bites. The recommended time to shake the fryer basket is at 2:30 minutes. This allows for the items to be turned and repositioned, preventing them from sticking together and ensuring that all sides are exposed to the hot oil adequately. Regular shaking helps achieve a consistent golden brown color and a crispy exterior while maintaining the gooey texture of the cheese inside.

Timing is key, as shaking too early or too late could result in uneven cooking. When following the established procedure, adhering to the 2:30-minute mark will enhance the effectiveness of the frying process, leading to a superior finished product that meets Zaxby's high standards for quality and taste.
