How to choose the best fryers After taking a look at our review of the best products on this market, it is necessary to explain how a fryer works and, above all, what are the main characteristics, which we will report below.
Typology General characteristics Structure e Capacity Performance Functionality Accessories Type
Before choosing your fryer, you need to choose the type, since there are products with different specifications. First of all, we find the oil fryers, which use frying oil to cook food, and the air fryers, which use hot air and a pinch of oil. Clearly, as we have specified, based on the two types, the technical specifications and structure also change accordingly.
Basically, all products have different shapes, namely rectangular or square, in addition to the presence of a basket with a large bowl or with vertical extraction (as in the case of those with oil). Some also have a removable lid with or without a transparent window, which allows you to eliminate the problem of oil splashes or to check cooking during operation.
Over time, fryers have changed shape, so much so that the latest generation ones have more rounded and less angular shapes as in the past. In addition, they also have a rotating basket, which allows you to ensure uniform cooking of all the foods inside. There are clearly several cooking programs, especially for the air-frying variants, and some anti-odour filters to avoid unpleasant odors in one or more rooms.
It should also be emphasized that air fryers are also considered as powerful electric ovens, and therefore enjoy additional functions that should not be underestimated if you want to cook many other foods, in a different way than usual. Basically, oil fryers are suitable for those who want traditional frying, while air fryers are recommended for people who want to eat healthily, without giving up fried foods.
General characteristics< /h3> As we have widely anticipated, there are two families of fryers on the market, the first which includes all the oil-fed ones (traditional ed), while the second includes all the air-fed ones. The latter are of the latest generation, and have some technologies that allow you to effectively avoid the use of oil to fry food. Having 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 an automated or non-automated lid. In the first case, we suggest the purchase to true professionals, i.e. those who are used to frying every day; while, in the second case, we recommend the purchase to all the others, since traditional fryers are easy to use.
As far as capacity is concerned, 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 smaller ones. We can therefore group these products into:
Small. Those with a maximum capacity of approximately 1.2 liters (households of up to four people) Medium. Those with a maximum capacity between 1.5 and 2.3 liters (households with a maximum of 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 the purchase. A high-performance product guarantees reduced oil heating times and constant maintenance of the oil temperature for a longer time. Therefore, a good fryer must satisfy these last two conditions. It must be considered that, in order to cook food in the best possible way, it is essential to place it in oil at an optimal temperature.
Generally, a good fryer has a power between 1400W and 2000W, but you must also mind the energy consumption. The greater the power of an appliance, the greater its cost, in terms of energy bills.
Instead, if you are interested in a healthier product, we recommend purchasing an air fryer. which allows you to obtain excellent fried foods.
Functionality
Another aspect to take into consideration before making the purchase is the range of functions 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 advise you to purchase a cooking thermometer.
In any case, the main functions of the fryers are:
On/off button Button that allows the lid opening Timer knob Indicator lights to understand the operating status of the product itself Accessories
The last aspect to consider is the number of accessories. There are tons of complementary items to add to the fryer, each of which allows for multiple solutions when preparing fried foods. The most important ones are:
Replacement filters. These are particular filters that allow you to eliminate bad smells, through activated carbon. Most commercial fryers 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. Naturally, we advise you to check the availability of filters and their compatibility with the chosen product. Drain tube. Some appliances also have 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.
