Deep Fryer Ideas - Oh Boy Yummy Yummy!

Well, yes, there is still a strong market for those that wish to get fry happy, and the best thing about using a deep fryer is that it is much safer than open frying, with the risk of fire from incorrectly used oil in an open pan seriously reduced. That does not mean that you can be complacent, however. If you fail to follow the instructions correctly, you still leave yourself open to the same fire risks and anything that high heated oil is subjected to. Remember, water is not an option as it simply spreads the fire.

One of the most common uses of the deep fryer is cooking up things like potato fries or crispy fried chicken, and there is no denying that it tastes great when cooked this way. However, are there any deep fryer ideas that can help make the process healthier over all? Thankfully, yes. Most of the fryers come with a basket that can rest clear out of the fat when the frying is finished, and allow the fat to drain away. If you are still concerned before you serve the food, place it onto some kitchen paper towel and let it absorb any fat that comes off before transferring to the plate.

You will find that the features of the modern fryer offer a self-controlling thermostat, which means that whilst the food is cooking the fat temperature is regulated and stays constant within a 4 degree window. This will be saving energy and therefore saving you money, plus the thermostat will prevent the fryer from over heating, causing it to automatically shut off if it does overheat or if you have accidentally left it on.

One of the best deep fryer ideas to hit the market is the oil filtration system. This removes any small pieces of food that are left in the oil, which means that the oil can be used a lot more times before it needs to be changed. With modern fryers you can use any type of oil, so you can go for the healthier seed oils which can add to improving the overall health effect of deep frying.

You need to remember to wipe down the fryer on the outside when it has cooled down and is not connected to the mains power supply, as there is bound to be an element of oil splashing during the cooking process and it can get slippery and greasy. You certainly don't want to drop a deep fryer full of oil over the kitchen floor, as that would give you a clean up nightmare as oil is incredibly difficult to clear up. One way to minimize the splashing is to make sure the basket is resting clear of the oil before you put food into it, and then lowered into the oil, rather than just dropping food into the already lowered basket. This can also be dangerous as you run the risk of being splashed by hot oil, especially in the eyes.
