How To Deep-Fry Snacks At Home - 7 Tips & Tricks

 Under this blog post, we are taking on the deep-fryer to conquer your fear where we are going to help you master your biggest kitchen anxieties. Deep frying safety is extremely essential. It really comes down to common sense but there are a couple of guidelines that you are frying in your kitchen. 

 Always have a fire extinguisher close by. You never when something bad can happen and you have to be sure to never overfill your pot. It should never be higher than halfway up and having a thermometer will help you maintain the temperature you require to cook your favourite snack like Deep-Fried Oreos, french fries, chicken nuggets, churros, fried cream and so on. Now let’s conquer the fear of deep-frying with the following tips. 

 #1 Use High Smoke Point Oil

 When it comes to deep-frying, oil plays a very important role to get that perfect crunch and taste. Mostly refined canola oil, refined hydrogenated oil, refined sunflower oil and refined soybean oil. Most of these oils have a high smoke point that makes the frying perfect. You may also use vegetable oil or peanut oil for good results. 

 #2 Pick the Right Pan 

 As you know, deep frying includes high temperature. A good quality pan or wok has the ability to maintain a high temperature. Use the deep mouth pan because they are usually adjustable to frying stuff and that is what required to get good results. Suppose you are frying Deep-Fried Oreos or Deep Fried Twinkies, a deep mouth pan will help them easily float over the oil. 

 #3 Manage the oil quantity 

 It is necessary to ignore overfilling otherwise your pan might overflow while frying. Oil should cover your snack properly. As we said above in the introduction, fill your pan halfway up and that is just perfect for frying. 

 #4 Manage oil temperature

 The oil should not be either too hot or too cold. In case the oil is cold, your food will simply sink in oil without resurfacing and the smell of oil might bother you too. And in case the oil is too hot, it will instantly burn your food, leaving an unpleasant taste. The standard frying temperature is between 177-degree Celsius to 191-degree celsius. 

 #5 For crispy and crunchy frying

 Cooking experts say the medium temperature is just perfect to deep-fry snacks. It properly cooks the snack from both inside and outside, leaving a perfect crunchy texture on the outside and soft, gooey from the inside. 

 #6 Avoid Overcrowding

 It is advisable to fry in small batches because overcrowding can actually kill the food. Putting too much at once might just spoil the whole game. The food inside the oil must have space to float and breathe and not overcrowded, sticking to each other or sticking the sides of the pan. 

 #7 Scoop out the burnt particles before frying

 When you put a snack that is coated with batter into the oil, usually the tiny little particles from the batter spreads in the oil and gets burnt. To avoid the burnt smell and, scoop out those particles before frying another batch. 

 Wrap Up

 Usually, the fear of cooking and frying at home hides the chef’s skills. If done right, frying anything at the convenience of your home is possible. From fried pickles to tater tots and deep-fried Oreos to churros, you can enjoy carnival food at home itself. Hope you liked these following tips and will incorporate the same while frying. Trust us, it isn’t bad and difficult. Plus, save the money too. So, keep frying and explore more at your place.
