What is a Deep Fryer
If you are a creative cook who likes restaurant-style French fries, chicken wings, and other crispy fried foods, you should definitely opt for a Deep Fryer. It is a simple kitchen appliance which significantly facilitates the process of deep frying. Moreover, it cooks much healthier food in comparison with pans. To specify, the food contains less cholesterol. The secret is that at high temperatures the food does not absorb the frying fat. This frying fat only envelops the food, forming a crispy crust that is so "hot" among adults and children. But the abilities of deep fryers are not limited only to the famous French Fries or chicken wings. You can deep fry almost anything! Vegetables, cheese, poultry, meat, seafood, fish, fruit? No problem!
But if you want to cook healthy and nutritious food without oil, then our suggestion is to pay attention to Air Fryers.
What Features to Compare
Oil Pot
Probably the most important feature to pay attention to is an oil pot capacity. The pot can contain from 0.5 liters to 5 liters of oil. It goes without saying, that the greater the capacity of the pot is, the more servings you can dish up. For example, if you want to deep fry 5 servings of French fries, it is advisable to choose a model with a 2.2 - 3 liters pot capacity.
As for the shape, a pot can be circular or square. Respectively, a mesh basket for ingredients (which is immersed in an oil pot) will also be of the same shape. Note that if you plan to cook various meat or fish dishes, you should choose a square deep fryer in order that loaded food does not lose its shape. The next point to consider is a special non-stick coating. It is a great bonus as a non-stick pot prevents burning.
Power
The sooner you can get to frying, the sooner you can get to eating. And it is the power that predetermines the cooking time. Pay attention that the fryers with little oil pot capacity (for example, 1- 2 liters) do not require high power (800- 1500 Wats will be enough). On the contrary, if the capacity is more than 2 liters, it is advisable to consider 1500-1800-watt devices.
Cleanup and Filtration
Every kitchen appliance requires care and cleanup. So, removable parts are a great advantage. Moreover, some models have a removable pot which can be even washed in the dishwasher. As for the main heating element, there are models with immersed or non-removable ones. Consequently, deep fryers with immersed heating elements can be washed under running water. As for the models with non-removable heating elements, it is advisable to wipe them with a sponge.
Some fryers have a unique feature "cold bottom" which helps reduce the temperature of the bottom and prevent food from burning. The process of cooking is always accompanied by the release of odors and smoke. Thus, manufacturers equip almost every fryer with special filters in order to avoid spreading of odors around the kitchen. Such filters may be removable or non-removable, as well as single-layer and multilayer. The most effective ones are multilayer carbon filters which have several protection layers. Furthermore, if you plan to use the fryer constantly, we suggest paying attention to models that have oil purification filters. These filters will allow you to use the same oil 10 times and, accordingly, will greatly save your money.
Operation and Conveniences
The next important features to pay attention to are Operation and Conveniences. These two options may significantly affect your choice. For example, some models are equipped with digital displays in order to control modes, temperature and cooking time. Whereas, there are models with mechanical control type. Considering mechanical models, you can only set the oil heating temperature. What is more, some deep fryers are paired with a special timer that will let you know when your dish is ready. How does it work? The fryer will beep and shut off the heating element. For those who like to watch the cooking process, most models have a viewing window in the lid.
So, having found out what to look for when choosing a deep fryer, we hope that you will find the best model according to your purposes. Good luck!
