fry.</figcaption></figure> <p><b>Deep frying</b> involves fully immersing food in hot <a href="/wiki/Cookbook:Oil" class="mw-redirect" title="Cookbook:Oil">oil</a>. It is an extremely fast cooking method, and, despite the use of liquid oil, is best classified as a dry cooking method because it does not involve liquid water. </p><p>With a deep fat fryer, deep frying is reasonably safe, but hot cooking oil is intrinsically dangerous, and one should be very careful so as to avoid fires and/or severe burns. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Method">Method</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cookbook:Deep_Fat_Frying&veaction=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Method" class="mw-editsection-visualeditor"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-divider"> | </span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cookbook:Deep_Fat_Frying&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section's source code: Method"><span>edit source</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Deep frying does not actually make the food greasy if it is done properly. The water in the food repels the oil. However, the hot oil also boils the water within the food, and steams the food from the inside out. As long as the oil is hot enough and the food is not immersed in the oil for too long, no oil will enter the food itself. If the food stays in the oil too long, the water will steam out and the oil will penetrate the food. If the oil is too cool, the food won't be done before this happens. </p><p>Most fried recipes rely on either a coating of batter or breading, or on foods that have or produce a natural skin around the food such as <a href="/wiki/Cookbook:Potato" title="Cookbook:Potato">potatoes</a> or whole <a href="/wiki/Cookbook:Poultry" class="mw-redirect" title="Cookbook:Poultry">poultry</a> with the skin on. The effect of this is that the outside of the food becomes crispy and browned while the inside is tender, moist, and steamed, similar to searing. Of course, the batter can absorb huge amounts of fat and is usually consumed along with the food, causing the total fat content ingested to increase tremendously. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Safety">Safety</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cookbook:Deep_Fat_Frying&veaction=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Safety" class="mw-editsection-visualeditor"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-divider"> | </span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cookbook:Deep_Fat_Frying&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section's source code: Safety"><span>edit source</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Chip-pan-fire.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/39/Chip-pan-fire.jpg/220px-Chip-pan-fire.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="331" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/39/Chip-pan-fire.jpg/330px-Chip-pan-fire.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/39/Chip-pan-fire.jpg/440px-Chip-pan-fire.jpg 2x" data-file-width="665" data-file-height="1000" /></a><figcaption>Chip pans can be dangerous, and are a leading cause of kitchen fires; this demonstrates a simulation of a chip pan fire.</figcaption></figure> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Chip_pans">Chip pans</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cookbook:Deep_Fat_Frying&veaction=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Chip pans" class="mw-editsection-visualeditor"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-divider"> | </span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cookbook:Deep_Fat_Frying&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section's source code: Chip pans"><span>edit source</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Chip pans can be <i><b>dangerous</b></i> and should only be used with caution and when continuously supervised, preferably with a thermometer; deep fryers are safer.

A simple test of this is to inspect the level of oil before and after cooking – it should be almost identical, reflecting that almost all the oil is still in the vat, not in the food. Simply, the hot oil <i>heats</i> the food and steams it from the inside (steaming is generally considered healthy cooking), as reflected in the sound of steam escaping during cooking; the steam keeps the fat out.</dd> <dd>This is not the case for potatoes, where one intends fat to enter, and hence blanches the potatoes beforehand.</dd> <dd>Pan-frying and stir-frying involve similar coatings of fat, but are less visually striking.</dd> <dd>Further, the proposition that "fat is bad" is contentious, and rejected by many – compare low-fat and low-carb diets.</dd> <dd>Lastly, the oils used in deep frying (mostly monounsaturated vegetable oils) are general highly praised.</dd> <dt>Deep frying creates toxins</dt> <dd>There is some basis for this concern – using unrefined oils or oils with low smoke points and raising them to the smoke point causes production of carcinogens via oxidation, as reflected in smoking. This is reduced, if not eliminated, by using refined oils with high smoke points. There are suggestions that toxins are produced below the smoke point, and particularly if oil is reused or kept hot for extended periods – this leads to the suggestion that oil not be reused. Further, pieces of food that fall into oil are themselves impurities and may oxidize on further cooking – this leads to the suggestion that reused oil be filtered.</dd> <dt>Deep frying destroys nutrients</dt> <dd>Deep frying is similar to other cooking in nutrient destruction, because the interior is not touched by oil, just heated (steamed, in fact). Cooking destroys some nutrients, while making others easier to digest.</dd> <dt>Deep frying does not provide nutrients</dt> <dd>There is some basis for this – Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are destroyed by deep frying, and must be obtained from other sources – deep fried food should not be one’s only source of fat.</dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Commonly_deep_fried_foods">Commonly deep fried foods</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cookbook:Deep_Fat_Frying&veaction=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Commonly deep fried foods" class="mw-editsection-visualeditor"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-divider"> | </span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cookbook:Deep_Fat_Frying&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section's source code: Commonly deep fried foods"><span>edit source</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Virtually any food can in principle be deep fried.
