How to choose the best fryers
After taking a look at our review of best products of this market, it is necessary to explain to you how a fryer works and, above all, what are the main characteristics, which we will report below.General characteristics Structure and Capacity Performance Functionality Accessories
General characteristics
As we have widely anticipated, on the market there are two families of fryers, the first which includes all those powered by oil (traditional editor's note), while the second includes all those with air. The latter are of the latest generation, and have some technologies that make it possible to effectively avoid the use of oil to be able to fry food. Explained the two large families on the market we can naturally find the professional, semi-professional and traditional ones.Structure and Capacity
The fryers have different structures, and vary according to the type purchased . There are professional ones that do not have a lid and have a parallelepiped shape, while the classic ones have a more oval structure and boast a lid, whether automated or not. In the first case, we suggest the purchase to true professionals, that is, those who are used to frying every day; while, in the second case, we suggest the purchase to all the others, since traditional fryers are easy to use.As regards the capacity, this aspect must be evaluated on the basis of the quantity - expressed in kilograms - of foods it may contain. Clearly, a larger fryer is suitable for large families, while smaller ones for less numerous ones. We can therefore group these products into:
Small. Those with a maximum capacity of about 1.2 liters (families of up to four people) Medium. Those with a maximum capacity between 1.5 and 2.3 liters (families with up to 4-6 people) Large. Those with a maximum capacity of 3 or 4 liters (larger families)
Performance
The factor represented by performance is very important before making a purchase. A performing product guarantees reduced oil heating times and constant maintenance of the oil temperature for longer. Therefore, a good deep fryer must satisfy these last two conditions. It must be borne in mind that, in order to cook food in the best possible way, it is essential to throw it in the oil at an optimal temperature.Generally, a good fryer has a power between 1400W and 2000W, but you must keep to also energy consumption. The greater the power of an appliance, the greater will be its expense, in terms of energy costs in the bill.
Instead, if you are interested in a healthier product, we recommend the purchase of an air fryer, which allows you to obtain excellent fried foods.
Functionality
Another aspect to consider before making the purchase is the functionality of such a product. Among the most important functions we find the temperature regulator, which guarantees all users to manually set the power of the fryer, but it is necessary to pay attention to the smoke point of each food, in addition to that of the oil used. If there is no regulator, we recommend the purchase of a kitchen thermometer.In any case, the main functions of the fryers are:
On / off button Button that allows the opening the lid Timer knob Indicator lights to understand the operating status of the product itself
Accessories
The last aspect to consider is the supply of accessories. There are many complementary items to add to the fryer, each of which allows you to have multiple solutions when preparing fried foods. The most important ones are:Replacement filters. These are special filters that allow to eliminate bad smells, through activated carbon. Most of the fryers on the market have slots in which to insert these filters. Some are contained within the sales package, while others must be purchased separately, especially the spare ones. Of course, we advise you to check the availability of filters and their compatibility with the chosen product. Drain tube. Some appliances also boast an exhaust system, which is why it is essential to have special spare tubes. In addition to spare accessories, such as filters, exhaust pipes, all those considered secondary must be considered. For example detergents, recipe books and basket.
