The basic principle
The main function of fryers is to cook relatively quickly at high temperatures. In many cases, the deep fryer is filled with oil and then heats up until it reaches the desired temperature. Cooking time and set parameters depend on the type of food you are cooking.
Many deep fryers use a basket to place food, which is then dipped in hot oil. The timer set depending on the cooking time will notify you when the food is ready.
Many people use cooking devices such as french fries and fish in batter. However, with the growing popularity of deep fat fryers, many cookbooks have appeared that show how varied cooking can be with this appliance.
Cook without oil
An air fryer is a kitchen appliance that cooks by circulating hot air through convection. With this device, you no longer have to deep-fry anything. The same dishes are obtained with much less oil, it will need only one tablespoon. According to professional tests, products that are properly cooked in standard deep fryers still absorb very little oil.
This appliance combines an air grill and a conventional oven. A heating grate is located above the food container. An internal fan circulates hot air. In the process of cooking, the products are slightly dried, then fried with hot air. Cooking occurs evenly due to the fact that the dish is automatically mixed. In the process of such "frying" there is no unpleasant smell of boiling oil, and the finished dishes are tasty and healthy.
How to choose?
Before choosing a specific deep fryer, the price of which can be very diverse, pay attention to the following parameters:

Higher rated electric fryers have more efficient heating elements. This helps to quickly heat the oil to the desired temperature. Deep-fried quickly, so that the products are covered with a crust, while remaining soft inside, while not absorbing a lot of oil.
The temperature for frying is 80-200 ° C. The temperature controller on an electric deep fat fryer provides optimal indicators for the preparation of various types of products.
