Frying to perfection - Discover the tasty secrets!

Welcome! Today we'll share some tips for making light, crispy, and low-greasy fried food.

Frying is an ancient and beloved cooking method, but achieving perfect results requires a little attention and knowledge. So, get ready to learn Pietrella's secrets for irresistible fried food!

  1. Check the oil temperature : It's essential to prevent the oil from reaching its "smoke point," when it begins to burn and release harmful substances. The ideal temperature for frying is between 165° and 185° Celsius. Use a cooking thermometer to check this precisely.
  2. Dry food thoroughly : Before placing food in hot oil, make sure it is completely dry. Excess moisture can cause splattering and make the result less crispy. Use paper towels to pat dry the ingredients before frying.
  3. Correct oil dosage : The amount of oil used for frying is important. It's recommended to use about 10 times the weight of the food being fried. Too much oil can make the dish heavy and greasy. Furthermore, it's best to fry a few pieces at a time, about 100 grams, to maintain a constant oil temperature and ensure even cooking.
  4. Maintaining Crispyness : After frying, it's important to maintain the crispiness of the food. Place the pieces on paper towels to remove excess oil. It's best to add salt while the pieces are still hot, so that it adheres better and helps enhance the flavor. Avoid covering the fried pieces, as condensation could make them soft.

By following these tasty secrets, you'll achieve perfect fried food that will delight everyone's palate. Remember that fried food, when prepared correctly, can be a pleasure best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
