For the fried food lover, dual deep fryers are a convenient kitchen appliance which will make preparation of your favorite foods a quick, easy and clean process. Deep frying requires a dedicated pan. If you don’t want to have to leave a chip pan on your stove all the time, they you will have to empty the pan and store the oil when cooking has finished. This is a pain at best, and a hazard at worst.
Dual deep fryers allow you to conveniently keep your frying in a separate area of the kitchen; out of the way and the stove is kept free and uncluttered. It will lower the cleaning time, cook at an even temperature, and ensure that all of your fried food is a perfect golden color and as crisp as it should be.
So what are the important features to look out for when buying a fryer? The list is not exhaustive; however there are some key functions which should not be overlooked. Pay attention to these factors and it will ensure you buy a fryer which is not only up to the job, but you will also will get the maximum possible use from it.
- Aesthetics: Not a vital element for well prepared food, however your machine will be out on display in the kitchen for all to see. Brushed stainless steel looks great, but a couple of greasy finger prints and it’s difficult to clean without leaving smears. Look at the lip of the frying compartment and ask yourself if it is likely to drip when used.
- Capacity: Make sure you get a model with sufficient capacity to cook for the whole families in one go. For the dual basket models, make sure that both baskets are sufficiently large and deep enough for the maximum range of food to be easily prepared
- Cleanliness: All fryers need to be emptied and cleaned from time to time. Choose a model with a filter to get rid of the small bits of food which fall through the basket. This should be easy to remove and clean, preferably without having to empty al of the oil out first. Oil needs to be easily emptied too.
- Power: Higher wattage means faster heating time and higher fuel usage. Go for a model which will heat up the oil quickly. You will not want to wait 15 minutes for the fat to get hot enough to cook.
- Cooking temperature: You will need to have an adjustable thermostat to ensure you can get the oil to the correct temperature and keep it there. Chips and fried chicken are not cooked at the same temperature and some variety in the settings will ensure a perfect golden fry for all types of food.
- Cost: Shop around. Store bought fryers are invariably more expensive that the same online models. Whilst you have to rely on pictures when purchasing from online stores, and will have to waiting a couple more days for the delivery, it could well save you a considerable amount.
- Size: Decide where it is going to go, measure the space and buy one that fits. If frying is important, decide on the fryer, and then remodel your kitchen.
If you pay attention to all of these points when selecting dual deep fryers, you will ensure that you get the model which is perfect for your requirements.
