Did you know that deep-fried fries have fewer calories than fried in a regular skillet? The secret is that at high temperatures (190 ° C), hot deep fat is not absorbed into the food. It envelops the surface, turning into a crispy crispy crust that is so popular with adults and children.
Deep fryer: how to choose?
When choosing a device, pay attention to 4 important parameters:
- power - on average 1800-2000 W. Remember - the higher the power, the faster the oil will warm up and the dish will cook. Its adjustment can be stepped or smooth (depending on the model);
- the volume of the bowl includes the maximum volume of oil (but not the product). A 2-3 liter deep fryer will hold 1-1.2 kg of product;
- filters are removable, which are easy to replace, and permanent - it is much more convenient to wash them. There are two types:
- against odors - retains the smell of food and oily vapors, not letting out of the fryer;
- oil - filters the butter from pieces of food and breading;
- cleaning method. Choose models with a removable bowl - this makes cleaning the appliance much easier. Non-stick bowls do not adhere to dirt.
How to cook in a deep fryer?
Preparing a treat in a deep fryer is very easy, as the oil heats up to a certain temperature, which is maintained by a thermostat. The timer keeps track of the time and with a sound signal (in some models) notifies about the end of cooking or automatically turns off.
To make deep-fried foods tasty and not as harmful, adhere to 7 main rules:
- do not mix different types of oil,
- do not dilute fresh oil with used oil,
- add seasonings and salt to ready-made dishes;
- change the oil regularly (not only when it has already darkened, changed its consistency, is bitter or has an unpleasant odor);
- rinse the potatoes into strips with running water to rinse off the starch. Dry it with a napkin, then deep-fried slices will not stick to each other;
- cut the potatoes into equal sized slices (for example, a slicer) so that they are evenly deep-fried;
- deep-fry frozen food in smaller portions - no more than a third of the basket. They quickly cool the heated oil and can be soaked in it.
How to clean the oil from the deep fryer?
Cleaning the fryer is much easier if the old oil hasn't turned into a sticky gruel. It is not difficult to wash the appliance with a removable bowl, basket and lid:
- do not wipe off burnt food debris with a hard sponge, so as not to damage the coating. Fill the container with water for 3-4 hours to soften the dirt;
- wash the bowl with hot water using a sponge dampened with anti-grease detergent.
If the fryer has a non-removable bowl, wash it in a different way:
- drain off the grease and blot the rest with a paper towel;
- clean the walls with a sponge using anti-grease detergents;
- wipe the appliance with a dry paper towel.
