Description

A deep fryer is a kitchen appliance used to submerge food completely in hot oil (typically (350)–(375)°F) for rapid cooking, producing a crispy, golden-brown exterior. Commonly made of stainless steel, these machines feature a heating element, an oil reservoir, and a basket for lowering/raising food. Available in electric or gas, they are used for frying chicken, fries, and snacks, with safety features like thermostatic controls and lids.
