A Deep fried Twinkie

Breaded, deep-fried squid

Deep frying is a cooking method whereby food is submerged in hot oil or fat. Because of the high temperature involved and the high heat conduction of oil, the cooking process is extremely fast. Because no water is used, deep frying is best classified as a dry cooking method.

If performed properly, deep frying does not make food excessively greasy because the moisture in the food repels the oil.^{[citation needed]} The hot oil heats the water within the food, steaming it from the inside out. As long as the oil is hot enough and the food is not immersed in the oil for too long, oil penetration will be confined to the outer surface. However, if the food is cooked in the oil for too long, too much of the water will be lost and the oil will begin to penetrate the food. The correct frying temperature depends on the thickness and type of food, but in most cases it lies between 175 and 190°C (345–375°F) Impact of a drop of water. ...

Some fried foods are given a coating of batter or breading prior to frying. The effect of these is that the outside of the food becomes crispy and browned while the inside becomes tender, moist, and steamed. Some foods, such as potatoes or whole, skin-on poultry, produce a natural skin and do not require breading. Batter is a thick or thin liquid mixture, usually based on flour, water or milk, and egg. ...

Although correctly produced fried foods are perfectly wholesome, correct management of the oil is essential. Abusing the frying oil by overheating, excessive use or undue exposure to air while hot leads to formation of oxidation products, polymers and other deleterious or even toxic compounds such as acrylamide (in starchy foods). Researchers in many countries have found that of the three major market sectors, the most abused frying oils were (in order from the worst) those in the catering, domestic and industrial sectors. Deep frying under vacuum (see: Vacuum Fryer) helps to significantly reduce the acrylamide formation, however this process is so far not widely used in the food industry due to the high investment volume involved.

Vacuum fryers were originally developed for the potato chip production as they are fit to process low-quality potatoes that contain higher reducing sugar levels than normal, as they frequently have to be processed in spring and early summer before the potatoes from the new harvest become available. ...

Some useful tests and indicators of excessive oil deterioration are the following: Sensory: Darkening, smoke, foaming, thickening. Laboratory: Acidity (FFA), anisidine value, viscosity, total polar compounds, polymeric triglycerides. Note that there are now on the market simple, reasonably priced instruments reading the total polar compounds (the best single test), with sufficient accuracy for restaurant and industry use. The related Category:Units of viscosity has been nominated for deletion, merging, or renaming. ... A commonly-used example of a polar compound is water (H2O). ...
