Rules of operation of the electric fryer

Everyone knows that the fascination with junk food is undesirable, but here we are talking about the catering option. In the home version, fried mushrooms, meat, fish, vegetables and bakery products will be much tastier and more beneficial if they are prepared in a special way. To do this, the appropriate devices have been developed - fryers.

Fryer Overview

The deep fryer is an appliance designed to roast food. in a lot of oil. This technology of processing products is needed to obtain a crisp golden crust. In the device, everything is thought out so that the oil is not absorbed in food, not burned, and in the dishes all the nutritional and taste properties are preserved. The food itself will not carry a large caloric load.

Electric fryer - This is a desktop technique in which not too many products can be processed. In the simplest version, it is a container with an airtight lid. Another of the internal components - a basket for products. The principle of operation of the device is based on the heating of vegetable oil, which under the influence of its high temperature will conduct the appropriate processing of products.

During cooking, it is necessary to observe optimum heating: if it is insufficient, the product is quickly saturated with fat. At very high temperatures, the product will crust and inside will be raw. Experienced cooks use this trick - they throw a piece of dough into the heated fat. If the butter is not sufficiently heated, the dough will lie on the bottom. Bubbles emanating from it, say about the average temperature. But active boiling indicates a high temperature.

Heating does not affect the ambient atmosphere - the body is usually made of heat insulating material.

How does an electric fryer

General rules for the operation of the device represent the following algorithm.

1. Oil is poured into the container.
2. After switching on the required temperature, cooking begins.
3. Products in the grid are lowered in deep-frying.
   

4. After closing the lid, the ingredients begin to fry.

Using such a technique is quite simple even for people who are not experienced in this matter. Modern models have a user-friendly interface: a clear control panel is located on the outer case. Each modern model has several basic modes of operation, and the most advanced versions also have additional ones. Almost every electric fryer installed thermostat to control the process.

The most advanced options also have a rotational mechanism for uniform roasting.

In modern electric fryers, you can prepare a wide range of dishes: from french fries to chebureks and other recipes.

Nuances of operation

As for the oil used, it should be transparent. Turbidity is a sign that such fat cannot be used. Change the oil in the fryer should be after every eighth portion of products, and in the case of potatoes - after every twelfth.

Thrifty housewives are worried aboutwhere to put a large amount of oil remaining after frying. In models with filters it can be used. in the second round: After the cleaning procedure, the oil starts up again. The product is twice as efficient as the unfiltered counterpart.

A little trick: for a regular model, you can buy a paper filter at any store and filter it yourself.

Many potential users are confused by the number of calories, which in the end is still contained in the resulting dish. For such people are suitable models that cook without oil. This unit has another name - aerial fryer. There is not even a bowl for oil here: all thermal effect on products is carried out by air circulating in a circle in a container. Fats are added in small portions directly into the product (for example, potatoes). That is, the oil is still used here, but in very small doses.

How to wash the fryer

Usually in domestic conditions such a device is used infrequently, and the hostess can simply clean it after each frying. When the equipment is used frequently, it is worth regularly changing the oil and thinking about regular cleaning after a certain number of days.Otherwise it will be difficult to remove the scurf that has appeared from the old oil.

Since such units are found with removable and non-removable versions of the bowl, then they should be washed in different ways.

You should know that the device itself can not be washed directly under the tap or in the dishwasher - this can lead to a short circuit.

Before the washing process, you must unplug the appliance and wait for it to cool. Oil in the hot state can seriously burn, especially when in contact with water. The rest of the food in the bowl can not be scraped with a knife or a stiff brush - this can ruin the coating. Used oil is not poured into the sewer - it will lead to clogging of pipes.

With removable bowl

Fortunately, such products are manufactured by most manufacturers - such a device will be much easier to wash off the fat.

1. Leftovers are removed with a damp cloth. Particularly sticking fragments should be cleaned. silicone scraper (this should be done carefully).
2. The cooled bowl is pulled out and filled with boiling water. This also adds a drop of dishwashing detergent or two tablespoons of regular vinegar. Everything is left for a few hours.
3. If limescale has formed on the machines of the device, it can be easily removed with a sponge moistened in 5% acetic solution. After that, the remnants are easily removed with a paper napkin.
4. A basket for food taken out of the fryer should also be washed in the sink (after it has otkisnet a little, moistened with a few drops of detergent).

Fixed option

Wash the fryer with a non-removable bowl should be different. First, the fat is drained. Its residues can be removed with a paper napkin (but not with a sponge - it will only smear). To wipe clean it is necessary to start from the bottom, with the help of circular movements moving to the walls. Then warm water is poured into the container and the gel is added, with which the hostess washes the dishes. Everything is left "otkisat" for half an hour.

After half an hour, the water with the agent is heated in the device. If it is very dirty, boil it for a few minutes. Water is drained and the container is wiped dry. You should check the bowl: if there are traces of oil in it, pour water again and add 1-2 tablespoons of vinegar. Now it is necessary to boil for 5 minutes, after which the water is drained, and the bowl is wiped dry.

Completely “old” fat will have to be cleaned by boiling water with chopped on a grater household soap. The procedure time is 15-20 minutes.

There is another way: to combine soda and vinegar, pour the effervescent mixture into the fryer and bring to a boil.

Once every 2-3 months of intensive use you should wash the heating elements and clean the filters. Do not forget about outer surface - the body should be cleaned from stains with a sponge and detergent. However, it should be strictly ensured that the wires and buttons do not get moisture. After completion of the procedure, the device is wiped dry with a paper towel, both outside and inside.
