All foods contain moisture. When even small amounts of moisture on the surface of a food comes into contact with hot cooking oil, it foams or boils up somewhat. For safety, never fill a skillet or deep fryer more than 1/3 full with oil. Make sure food is as dry as possible before adding to hot oil by patting food pieces dry with paper towels or coating food pieces with flour or breadcrumbs.
