To keep your rings crispy and crunchy, make sure the oil is up to temperature (375°) before you begin frying. If you fry a large batch of rings, you may have to wait a few minutes for the oil to heat up before you begin again. The only way to really tell if the temperature is right is to use a special deep-fat or candy thermometer.From "Betty Crocker's Bisquick Cookbook." Text Copyright 2000 General Mills, Inc.

Transfer cooked rings to the cooling racks set over the baking sheets. Sprinkle with salt and keep warm in oven while frying remaining batches.
