Deep fryer is a modern device that is used to cook such items which require deep frying as it is obvious from even its name.
Mostly meat items are preferred to be cooked inside it but still there is a large range or dishes which can be cooked whether vegetables or pickles.
It is also meant for quick cooking anytime.
The most commonly cooked item is currently the French fries i.
e.
potato slices cut in finger shape.
Deep fryer was considered a luxury in past but keeping in view its utility, it is now a necessity.
It is a real blessing for those who are fond of eating deep fried things but either they are not habitual of doing it or do not afford enough time to stand and cook such food.
The most glaring aspect of deep fryer is that it has a timer which controls the cooking time.
The user only needs to fix this time.
Moreover, if the user forgets to switch off or plug off this accessory, the food being cooked inside it will not burn as the timer will automatically stop after the food is ready.
Deep fryers are of different sizes and shapes depending upon their use.
Deep fryers for commercial purposes are of big size that contain large amount of oil for frying while on the other hand, there are some who are used for domestic purpose; they are of smaller sizes.
But there is even more variation in domestic fryers as some are for big families which use almost two, or two and a half Kg of frying oil while the others are only for two to three members which have the capacity of one and a half liter oil for frying.
It is of course a great marvel of modern cooking accessories.
