The word deep fryer came from the French language, but despite this, deep-fried dishes have long been considered Russian cuisine. An electric deep fat fryer makes cooking a lot easier.
Modern appliances are able to heat the oil to a temperature that is previously set on the thermostat, and the presence of a timer with an audible signal simplifies time tracking and does not allow you to forget about the food that is being prepared. In addition, there is no need to constantly use the cookbook to verify the cooking time, as modern deep fryers on their case have images that indicate the temperature and time for cooking a particular dish.
In almost all devices, the timer does not mean turning off the heat after a set time. He only gives a sound notification that the time is up. Manufacturers believe that the use of automatic shutdown does not make sense, since the oil retains heat for a long time and therefore, even when the device is turned off, it can burn up when leaving the dish in it.
Most deep fryers have a non-stick coating on the bowl, which simplifies the process of care and cleaning. The presence of a permanent filter protects the air in the room from the presence of any odors generated during cooking. Sometimes in the designs of these devices there is a microfilter designed to cleanse the oil after cooking is completed. Due to the presence of a microfilter, you can use one serving of oil several times without harm to health. Often, fryer walls made of plastic have reliable thermal insulation, so even at high internal temperatures you can freely take the device with your hands without fear of burns.
Currently, vegetable oils are used more often for fryers, which help lower cholesterol in human blood, contain vitamin E, which reduces the risk of cancer. Scientists have found that foods that have been cooked using vegetable oil have fewer calories than many people think. Also, the modern option of deep-fried cooking allows you to store in it the minerals and vitamins necessary for the human body.
If you decide to buy a deep fryer, you will have to pay enough attention to choosing the right device from the many models presented. It should be suitable in terms of size, function, cost and level of oil consumption.
The size of the device depends on the amount of oil and the number of sliced potatoes that it can hold. For example, a deep fat fryer, which holds 1 kg of slices and 2 liters of oil, will eventually produce four servings, and the oil remaining after cooking can be reused. If four servings is too much, you can choose a device that holds half a liter of oil and approximately 400 g slices.
When choosing a particular model of deep fryer, you should pay attention to the presence in the design of a removable thicket, which has a non-stick coating. With the help of such a thicket, it will be possible to drain the remaining oil without much effort, then rinse it manually or in a dishwasher. Models of deep fryers with removable thickets are slightly higher.
The presence of a controlled thermostat helps to set the mode suitable for cooking. It is important to note that in addition to all the favorite french fries, this device allows you to cook other dishes containing mushrooms, meat, fish, etc. The ability to control the thermostat will help to cook any food using the appropriate temperature for each.
