Fryers are kitchen appliances designed for cooking food by submerging it in hot oil. They come in various types, including traditional deep fryers and air fryers, which use hot air circulation to achieve a crispy texture with less oil. Fryers are commonly used to prepare popular dishes like French fries, chicken wings, and doughnuts. In addition to home use, fryers are also prevalent in commercial kitchens, where they can handle large quantities of food. Safety features, such as temperature controls and automatic shut-off mechanisms, are often included to prevent overheating and accidents. Fryers can significantly enhance the flavor and texture of fried foods.
