Everyone loves to eat well. And what could be tastier than food cooked in a deep fryer? Reviews say that little can compare with such dishes. If such food is in demand, then it is worth talking about this topic. Today we will touch on the issue of deep fryers, reviews about them and everything else related to this topic. Read to the end and you will learn a lot of interesting things.
How much does a fryer cost?
The question is ambiguous, because depending on the manufacturer, parameters and other things, the price can vary greatly. If we talk about the most budget models of deep fryers, the reviews about which are quite friendly, then the initial bar starts from a mark in the region of one and a half thousand rubles. This will be a low volume and power option, which is rarely used and exclusively for the needs of a small family.
How much does an air fryer cost for a large family of fried food lovers? The price starts at five thousand rubles. There are already serious models with a bowl of sufficient volume and with a power reserve. As an option, you canconsider the Tefal deep fryer. A little lower we will talk about reviews about this brand and other manufacturers from this niche.
Care instructions
It's easy to guess that food that has been cooked in boiling oil leaves a lot to clean up. It is for this reason that it is necessary to say about the care of the deep fryer during its operation.
All modern models have removable bowls for easy cleaning. Let's say right away that if you wash the bowl immediately after each use, then you will not have any problems. If you rarely do this, then you will have to deal with congealed fat and the effects of overheated oil.
The same situation is with the filler. The fryer oil should be changed regularly. If this is not done, then it forms a very unpleasant coating on the bowl, which will be problematic to clean. Moreover, the oil needs to be changed and taking care of your he alth and the well-being of your loved ones. There is nothing useful in cooking in burnt oil, which contains a lot of carcinogens and other harmful substances.
Professional models
There are also such models. A professional deep fryer is much more expensive, but the resource and power of such devices are appropriate. The simplest models from this category will cost from ten thousand rubles and more. The most eminent brands for several positions of simultaneous preparation can cost well over one hundred thousand rubles. But for rightof a built public catering enterprise, these are small numbers, especially since everything pays off very quickly.
Gas models
Gas fryers are the choice of professionals only. When the cooking volume of french fries is high, then this model is necessary. Its main advantage is savings in terms of consumption. Gas is cheaper than electricity. Such models are very expensive, the price tag starts from one hundred thousand rubles, and some can cost more than three to four times more than the amount we mentioned. As a rule, in such deep fryers you can cook from ten to fifteen kilograms of potatoes at a time.
Choosing a model for your home
It is desirable to find something that will not be the cheapest. It is worth choosing from the middle price category, and if your financial situation allows, then you can consider expensive models.
Home fryer must have a sufficient bowl capacity (at least one liter). It is also desirable that it has a good Teflon coating and is removable. The power of such a device should be more than one kilowatt.
You should also pay attention to the manufacturer. Big-name brands offer well-thought-out options, but lesser-known companies also try to please the buyer. With some caution, you should approach completely unknown brands, although among them there are those that will very soon move from the category of unknown to the bestsellers.
Reviews
Here everything is extremely predictable. Most buyers praise appliances from well-known brands and scold fryers from completely unknown companies that are very cheap. Buyers sometimes talk about insufficient power, you should pay attention to this before buying. Also pay attention to the quality of the Teflon coating, sometimes it is so terrible that you can see it right in the store. You should immediately abandon such models and consider other options.
Overview of some models
To compare with something, you need to consider some models of fryers in more detail. We will focus on devices from manufacturers with a name from the middle price category.

Recipe
It would be wrong to talk about deep fryers and not give any recipe. Naturally, we will not focus on how to cook potatoes, because everything is extremely simple. Consider another product - cheese balls (deep-fried recipe). Hot, mouth-watering, viscous cheese in a crispy breading is an incredible snack for gatherings with family or friends over a cup of coffee in front of the TV.
