3 Ways to Cut Your Electric Deep Fryer Energy Bill
- 🌱
Preheat to the correct oil temperature before adding food — under-heated oil absorbs more into food and cooks slower.
- 💡
Don't overcrowd the basket — adding too much food drops the oil temperature, extending cook time significantly.
- ⚡
Filter and reuse the oil properly — clean oil heats more efficiently than degraded oil.
