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.
