Choosing the Right Deep Fryers

Deep Fryers are a fast and effective way to prepare fried foods. They're popular in restaurants and are now available to homeowners as well.Deep fryers are a great option for preparing French fries, chicken wings, onion rings and fried potatoes. These machines use hot oil to cook food and they're easy to clean up once the job is done.

When frying, it's important to choose the right oil. Olive oil, for example, is generally too heavy and greasy and may not fry your food adequately. Instead, choose peanut, sunflower, safflower or soybean oil with a high smoking point.A good fryer has a large capacity, so you can cook larger quantities of food at one time. It also has a convenient frying basket with handles that keep your hands away from the hot oil and allow you to drain the grease quickly as you remove the food.

The best fryers come with features to help you get the job done, such as a programmable temperature control. These settings can be changed by a simple touch of a button, making them convenient to use and less messy than using a thermometer.Other features include a recovery time and a sediment zone. A recovery time is the amount of time it takes for oil to return to the proper cooking temperature after food has been submerged in it. The sediment zone is where cracklings and other crumbs collect as they fall from the food during the frying process.
