How to drain fried food so that it is more optimal and crispy
Fried foods are one of the favorite foods of Indonesian people. However, fried foods that contain too much oil can cause various health problems, such as obesity, high cholesterol and heart disease. Therefore, it is important to know how to drain fried food so that it is optimal and crispy.
The following are some tips for draining fried food so that it is optimal and crispy:
- Use the right frying strainer. Fried filters made of stainless steel or aluminum are better than filters made of plastic. Filters made from stronger materials will be more durable and less easily damaged.
- Break the fried food before draining it. Gently pop the fritters in a colander for a few seconds before draining. This will help remove any oil that is still stuck to the fried food.
- Let the fried foods drain the oil for a few moments before serving. This will help absorb any remaining oil that is still carried.
- Use kitchen paper to absorb the oil. After a few moments drain the oil, place the fritters on a kitchen towel. The kitchen tissue will absorb the remaining oil that is still stuck to the fried food.
By following the tips above, you can drain the fried food more optimally and crispy. Fried foods that are crunchy and don't contain too much oil will be healthier and tastier to consume.
The following are some additional tips for draining fried food so that it is optimal and crispy:
- Choose the right cooking oil. Cooking oils that are less saturated, such as Mamaco coconut oil, will absorb less oil into the fried food.
- Fry the fritters over medium heat. Frying over too high heat can cause the fried food to absorb more oil.
- Don't fry fritters for too long. Fry the fritters until cooked, but don't take too long because they will absorb more oil.
By following the tips above, you can make fried foods that are crispy and don't contain too much oil.
