Electric fryers have come a long way towards being a welcome addition to any kitchen. Gone are the days when trying to get an even, golden-brown coating on chicken or fries you had to stand over a hot pan of boiling oil as you rotated the food for even cooking.
Since working with hot oil is a safety concern, it is important to look at the different safety features available on the electric fryers you choose. A break-away plug allows the unit to separate cord if it is pulled. This will prevent the possibility of the equipment overturning and the hot oil being spilled. Another nice feature available is having a cover which remains closed during the cooking process. This helps to eliminate splatter in addition to controlling odors.

The additional basket can be placed in the hot oil as you pull out the first basket, allowing larger volumes of food to be cooked in quick succession. From appetizers through desserts, you will find many uses. Take a corn tortilla and cut it in wedges. Place them in the electric fryer to start a batch of homemade nachos and chips.
