Electric frying pan: how to use the device at home?

In everyday life, a miracle frying pan powered by electricity is often used, which can be used in much the same way as a regular frying pan. It allows you to cook food in a wide range of temperatures and in different modes. Many models have a timer and other useful extras. This review tells you how to use them and what you need to consider when choosing.

How to use it correctly

The operating instructions are quite simple. If we talk about how to use an electric frying pan, several points should be listed:

1. After purchase, you need to thoroughly wash the bowl outside and inside using a damp sponge with detergent.
2. Next, turn on the device and make sure that it is working correctly (there is heating, the indicator is on, the corresponding inscription appears on the display).
3. First you need to heat the pan to maximum to see how it functions.
4. Next, pour in a little vegetable oil, preferably olive oil (with a high boiling point).
5. Lay out prepared foods, for example, meat, vegetables.
6. Fry until fully cooked, remove the food and drain the oil (from the point of view of a healthy diet, it can only be used once).
7. Then rinse again. If the bowl is not removable, you need to work more carefully so as not to flood the device itself with water.

How to choose the right model

Manufacturers produce different models of electric frying pans, among them there are several types:

1. The shape can be rectangular and classic round, there are also oval and square.
2. Depending on the functionality, there are grill pans, wok pans, travel pans (travel pans), and pans for preparing specific dishes, such as pancakes or pancakes. But for home use, it is worth considering universal models that can be used daily.

Moreover, when choosing a specific model, it is worth considering its parameters:

• temperature regime – in some models you can set the range from 30 and even up to 240 degrees;
• dimensions – the diameter can be in the range of 24-38 cm, and the larger this parameter, the more powerful the heating element will be needed;
• power – the larger it is, the higher the speed of cooking; often this parameter is in the range of 500-1500 W, sometimes reaching 2400 W.
• presence of non-stick coating – as a rule, this is Teflon, but there may be other options, for example, marble chips;
• bowl type – it is better to choose a removable one, since it is easier to care for;
• presence of a timer – an additional option that helps you not to miss the end of cooking.

When purchasing, it is advisable to study reviews from real customers. It is also possible to assess the reliability of a device using the warranty offered by the manufacturer. Usually this is 1 year, often 2 years. If you use the electric frying pan correctly, as described above, it will last much longer.
