Different types
Deep fryers come in different shapes and sizes, each with its pros and cons.
To help you make a decision about which fryer is the best choice for you, you can find everything here to make the choice as easy as possible.
Deep fryers can be divided into 3 categories:
Tabletop fryers:
A tabletop fryer is compact and is perfect for placing on a countertop or stainless steel worktable.
These fryers are ideal for home or commercial kitchens with limited space.
They are easy to move, clean and store again.
These models are available in both electric, natural gas and propane models and are ideal if you don’t need to fry large quantities at one time.
Freestanding fryers:
Freestanding fryers tend to be generally somewhat larger, self-contained units often used in professional kitchens or cafeterias.
They can hold a lot more frying oil and are therefore suitable for frying large quantities at once.
Freestanding fryers can be either electric or gas powered and often come with a base.
The base often includes a grease collection tray and a drain valve, making cleaning and changing the grease an easy job.
They are robust and durable, designed for heavy use.
Induction Fryers:
Induction fryers use a heating technology to heat the oil quickly and evenly.
These fryers have precise temperature settings and are very energy efficient, resulting in perfect and consistent frying results.
Because of this technology, although these fryers are a lot pricier, they offer several advantages such as fast heating time and saves costs in energy consumption.
Induction fryers are suitable for both professional kitchens and home cooks who value efficiency and precision.
