And for containers, only non-stick coating is suitable. Teflon is the best, however some sellers may not have this written as they are not allowed to use the brand name Teflon. So be sure to check with the seller.

Many used to think that tasty and crispy potatoes or nuggets - quite unhealthy food that you can afford only with rare visits to fast food restaurants.
Such food cooked in oil really harmful, but only because of the very approach to this process, which is neglected by most fast food establishments in order to reduce costs. If you want to diversify your diet with similar dishes and at the same time not harm your health, then buying your own deep fryer will be a great solution. It remains only to figure out which deep fryer is best for home cooking and how to choose such a kitchen helper for your needs. We will try to deal with these issues in this material. Contents
- Why cooking with oil is not bad
- How to choose a fryer and what pay attention when buying
- Power
- Bowl volume
- Functional component
- To summarize
many adherents of a healthy diet oil, and everything connected with it, associated with huge calorie content, heaviness in the abdomen and harm to health. This is true, but only if you decide to buy french fries or breaded wings in a fast food restaurant or cook them on regular frying pan.
In the first case, the cooking rules are tritely violated: oil is rarely changed, appliances are not washed thoroughly and often enough, and the temperature regime is observed due to the large volumes of cooking. Vo in the second case, when cooking in an ordinary frying pan, it also doesn’t work corny control the temperature, because the oil releases really harmful elements only when heated above 200 degrees, and track and adjust this almost impossible on its own. Moreover, in this way it is difficult evenly fry the food, and because of the small size, you have to cook either small portions or very long. And if we add to this the process of cleaning and laundering fat from all walls and dishes, then the pleasures of such a process are completely a little. The home fryer also allows you to control the temperature of the oil in safe range, and at one time to cook a portion for the whole family, and requires times less time to clean it up. Here is just a small list of those dishes that you will be able to cook by yourself with the help of a home air fryer:
- french fries;
- chicken wings;
- nuggets;
- chicken legs;
- onion rings;
- cheese sticks or balls;
- pies;
- fish;
- donuts;
Can it seems that in the process of choosing this device there is nothing complicated, because, how can deep fryers differ in general? In fact, these differences are enough and all of them affect the final cost of the device, as well as its convenience.
use. In order not to overpay for unnecessary features and buy really a useful device for many years, we recommend that you devote a little of your time to search and choose, with which we will try to help you. How and in other kitchen appliances, fryer power is one of the key characteristics. The power will determine how fast and how much you can prepare. On average, the power of deep fryers varies from 700 to 2000 watts. Important consider this indicator not separately, but in conjunction with the volume of the bowl of the device. For example, why do you need an 800 W model with a bowl volume of as much as 4 liters, if it takes too long to cook such a deep fryer at full load? Same the same in the opposite case, when with a bowl of 1 liter the power will exceed 1500 W - a banal overpayment for a colorful parameter, which is essentially not needed. For convenience, it is worth calculating the ratio, where per 1 liter of the volume of the bowl will be accounts for approximately 800 watts of power - this is the optimal value, which will be enough cooking of all dishes and maintaining high performance.
How already mentioned above, it is necessary to consider the volume together with the power of the model. AT for the rest, the volume of the bowl is a rather individual parameter, to choose which you need, based on how often you will cook on the deep fryer, how much people will cook and what budget is allocated for the acquisition. Often the volume varies from 1 to 4 liters. In general, with constant use and cooking for 1-2 a person will need a device with a volume of up to 2 liters. If the dishes are cooked a big campaign and there is no desire to spend too much time on cooking, that is, it makes sense to consider options for 3-4 liters.
Mandatory pay attention to whether the bowl in the deep fryer is removable. Some models from low price segment have bowls integrated into the body itself. If you are going to use the fryer infrequently, then this moment should not cause special inconvenience. If you plan to use the device permanently basis, then washing the non-removable bowl together with the appliance will not be very convenient, and washing it is necessary, because the used oil will gradually accumulate on walls and not the best way to influence further cooking both in terms of taste and smell, and in terms of the benefits of such food.
It is important to completely remove used oil after 3-4 applications (if used frequently, otherwise cases after each cooking session). To do this, rinse the container with hot water, then fill the entire volume with soapy water and leave it in this condition for half an hour, and then rinse again and wipe with a dry cloth until the walls will not be completely clean. Do not forget to share the article with your friend so as not to lose information and, if necessary, return and refresh your memory.
Modern technology, even in such kitchen appliances as deep fryers, allows automate some moments and make the whole cooking process more simple and enjoyable. The presence of a minimum indication, for example, will allow monitor the readiness status of the device: off, warming up, ready and etc. Some models also report a lack of oil when cooking certain dishes, or when it boils away during cooking. lighten the whole process will also be able to timer.
Its presence is unlikely to have a significant effect on cost, but it will allow you not to stand and track the degree of readiness of potatoes, meat, donuts or other dishes - just set the desired timer and you can go about your business. If it is important for you to control all process, we recommend that you look at models with special glass in the lid or the side door of the enclosure, which allows real-time monitoring of happening. Despite on the relative environmental friendliness and sterility of home fryers in comparison with, so to speak, production models or ordinary frying pans, many want to completely get rid of the signs of activity of boiling oil: smell, vapors and sometimes small droplets. Manufacturers offer their solution for in such a case - replaceable filters. The kit can go reusable metal filters, but in most cases they are simply built into the frame. If this is not enough, then you can separately purchase coal filter. Unlike stationary metal, it does not need to be washed, however need to be replaced with a new one every 9-11 uses, well, buy new ones respectively, when the old ones become unusable.
Whether it's necessary or not depends. how often you cook and how important the disadvantages described above are to you (if you can call them that) that occur when working with hot oil. AT In most cases, stationary filters will be sufficient. Modern deep fryers - a new step in the preparation of various products in oil. They allow you to minimize the harm from such cooking, but at the same time leave all those the aspects we love deep-fried dishes for - juicy rich taste and incredibly delicious flavor. The process itself, thanks to the timer and other functionality has become much easier and more pleasant, which makes the purchase of such devices even more rational solution.
Important take time in advance and determine for yourself which model is needed, which the functionality will be used, whether a window is needed and whether the bowl will be removed - from all this will form the final cost of the fryer. Also we recommend that you consider only trusted stores for purchase or marketplaces that will definitely be able to provide all the guarantees and help solve disputable situations without loss of funds.
