The deep fryer facilitates the frying process in vegetable fat. In addition, it can cook potatoes, meat, poultry, fish, and even vegetables and fruits. The choice of fryer should come from the capacity of the basket and the volume of vegetable oil.
How to choose the right deep fryer?
To be able to orient, remember that from 1.2 liters of butter and 1 kg of potatoes will come 4 servings of French fries.
The smallest fryer is designed for 0.5 kg of oil and 0.3 kg of potatoes. It is better if the bowl for oil is removed. With a deep fryer, it is more convenient to work, although it is more expensive. In addition, the removable bowl in almost all models has non-stick coating. From it you can easily combine the oil, and you can wash the cup in the dishwasher.
The lids of the bowl can be with a special viewing window. Through the window you can control the degree of its readiness by the color of the roasting product.
At the bottom of the cup in many models, the effect of the cold bottom is presented, thanks to which the products do not burn and the oil can be used longer.
Modern models are equipped with a filter to protect the apartment from the smell. The metal filter sometimes has to be washed. There are models with replaceable filter in the form of coal cassettes. There are also filters for cleaning the oil, which will have to be purchased separately (except fryers, equipped with an oil drain system).
Pay attention to power. It depends on the time of heating the oil - the more watts the model consumes, the less time it takes to heat.
Which fryer should I choose?
Fryers are produced by such famous companies as Moulinex, Tefal, Braun, Philips, Kenwood, Bosch, Delongi and many others. The models of these firms meet all quality standards. You can choose a brand based on personal preferences, characteristics and appearance.
Types of fryer
There are traditional (desktop) and built-in kitchen furniture models (for example, the format of "dominoes"). If you need an embedded model, then get ready for a very solid fryer cost.
In addition to desktop and built-in models, there is a deep-frying pan, which is made of metal with non-stick coating. It has plastic handles, and inside is a stainless steel sieve. The colander does not allow the products to get into the boiling oil. Thanks to the transparent cover, you can monitor the readiness of food. The fryer pan is not expensive at all, but the electric models are much more convenient and prestigious.
