The Best Fryer Cookbook Ever

Editorial Reviews
Book Description

Few people would dispute the old Florentine proverb "Even a bedroom slipper tastes good when it's fried," but many try to stay away from deep-fried foods because of the at foods absorb during cooking.

When the technique has been mastered, however, deep-fried foods can -- and should -- be crisp, light, and delectably nongreasy. As fryers gain popularity, it's even easier to deep-fry at home, and now Phyllis Kohn shows you how to achieve flawless frying feats every time.

The Best Fryer Cookbook Ever delves into the hows and whys of deep-frying: the best (and potentially healthiest) oils to use, correct temperatures and frying times (shorter cooking ensures less greasiness), technical tips for using your deep fryer, and safety guidelines.

Your kids won't eat vegetables? Try French-Fried Sweet Potato Sticks andFried Okra. Think doughnuts only come from a store? An entire chapter is devoted to making perfect versions of these beloved goodies at home, from old-Fashioned Cake Doughnuts to Beignets, jelly Doughnuts, and Orange Crullers. All the classics are here, including such popular favorites as Buffalo Wings, Chicken-Fried Steak, Hush Puppies, and Popcorn Shrimp. From unusual fried breads, such as sweet Churros and indian Pappadums, to fried desserts, such as Mexican Buenuelos with Anise Sugar and Chinese Candied Apples, Kohn brings the world of deep frying into your kitchen.

From the Publisher
Frying has matured from the cholesterol-dripping, artery-hardening cooking technique of yore into a much cleaner, more healthful and certainly more delicious way to prepare meals. With the advent of higher quality oils and fryers, people are able to cook their foods at higher temperatures, searing in their natural juices without making them soggy and laden with saturated fat. Today, frying has become one of the hottest trends in cooking, and as witnessed by the fact that Williams Sonoma alone carries three different types of fryers, home cooks are buying these kitchen accessories in droves.

The Best Fryer Cookbook Ever helps these eager chefs take full advantage of their machines. It features an introduction to the art of frying, gives an overview of the types of fryers on the market, provides some tips for safe frying at home and demystifies the process to help readers master the subtle techniques needed to cook their foods to perfection. Then there are the recipes. From crispy appetizers (Popcorn Shrimp), to mouthwatering meats (Chicken-Fried Steak with Gravy), to sizzling seafood (Fried Calamari), to vegetables (Fried Okra), to sweets (Chocolate Cake Doughnuts) and more, this tempting cookbook provides a stunning, mouthwatering variety of fried fare that will have lucky gourmands diving in and begging for seconds.
