electric fryer

Oil-heating kitchen appliance

An electric fryer is a countertop appliance that heats oil for deep-frying foods like chicken, fish, or French fries.

Unlike stovetop frying, it maintains consistent temperature through a thermostat and contains the oil in a dedicated vessel with a basket for lowering and raising food.

Air fryers, which use circulating hot air instead of oil, have largely displaced traditional electric fryers in home kitchens.
