Deep fryers may, at first glance, seem quite redundant in the kitchen. However, this is not always the case. Is it really worth it for you to buy a deep fryer? We will try to make some strong arguments.

How do you eat potatoes?

What potatoes do you like? Boiled with peelor shaved? Sliced ​​and roasted in the oven? Stewed in a pan along with other vegetables? Do you always eat mashed potatoes with milk and butter? If all this gets tired, be sure to try cutting the potatoes into long pieces and frying them in oil. This is how you get the fries fries. You can do all this in a simple skillet or casserole - no special utensils required.

Potatoes fried in oil

You can roast potatoes in oil in the simplest pan, but they will often be soaked in oil, which is not only good for taste but also for health. You don't really need that much oil, so instead of a pan or pan, you now use electric deep fryers.

The operating principle of the deep fryer is very simple - quite a large amount of oil specifically intended for deep frying is added to the deep pan. The potatoes are then put into a special deep basket, which is dipped in boiling oil and held for a few minutes. This is where the most important benefits of deep fryers over pans and pots are beginning to become apparent.

1. Baking speed. It takes longer to fry potatoes in a frying pan than in a deep fryer. This saves you a lot of time cooking.
2. Quantity. Depending on the capacity of the deep fryer, the quantity of fries may vary. There are smaller models and larger ones. You have to look at the capacity of the basket.
3. Energy saving.The fryer is like a larger kettle. It is only adapted to heat oil, not water. Fries are typically up to 2000 Watt. This means that the oil heats up and boils quickly, so the electricity consumption is low. You'll use more energy in the frying pan, making the fryer more profitable.
4. Security. Burning fat is dangerous. If a drop of water enters them, they immediately jump and may injure people standing nearby. Keep in mind that small family members often spin around in the kitchen, especially when making french fries. The fryers have special covers and guards to prevent the oil from firing and injuring those around it.
5. Oil is used several times. When frying french fries, you don't have to think how or where to use the oil you just fried. The fryers use a special oil that fears no extreme temperature differences and retains its properties even after several bakes.

Baking is not limited to fries

Roasters are not just for making potatoes. There are plenty of other dishes that can be prepared quickly using a deep fryer. Here are some of them:

• Cookies „Žagarėliai“. These are classic twisted biscuit cookies that are baked in hot oil.
• Chebureks. A very thin pie with meat, mushrooms, curd or other filling is common in Lithuania.
• Fried dumplings. Simple dumplings are boiled in water, but they are cooked much faster in the deep fryer and their taste changes slightly.
• Chicken nuggets. Chicken bits of various sizes wrapped in flour, breadcrumbs and egg can very quickly come to the table.
• Fried vegetables. It is possible to prepare vegetables other than potatoes. This is a quick garnish for any dish.

It is important that the food is small and fine, and then it is prepared very quickly.

Why fryer is healthier than frying pan

Deep frying large quantities of oil is generally not very healthy, but deep frying is much healthier. Why? The simple reason is a basket. When the food is ready, the basket is pulled out and left over the boiling oil to drain. We usually put dishes pulled out of the pan straight into the pan, meaning we consume more oil.

Possibility to adjust temperature

It is not possible to regulate the temperature of the food baked in the pan. However, deep fryers usually have a temperature control function. This way it is possible to determine whether the food will cook or just slowly cook. This way you can prepare tastier dishes.

Here are the arguments as to why a deep fryer should come into the house.

Some skeptics will say that the deep fryer is quite cluttered and takes up a lot of space. Part of it should be agreed with, as classic design fryers resemble a large square box. They are classically designed devices. Modern design devices are more like a toaster, a coffee machine, an ice cream maker. They are round-shaped devices that are aesthetically pleasing and compact. So, you can choose appliances that save space in your kitchen.

A toaster is an indispensable appliance when unexpected guests come to your home and there is no time to cook something in the oven. All the more so because frozen french fries, vegetables, chicken pieces or fillets are always available in the freezer for such cases. It will take time to prepare everything
