deep-fat fryer
Hot oil appliance
A deep-fat fryer is a kitchen appliance for cooking food submerged in hot oil.
The vessel holds enough oil to fully cover items like french fries, doughnuts, or chicken pieces, producing the crispy exterior characteristic of deep-frying.
Commercial versions are standard in restaurant kitchens; home models are smaller countertop units.
