A cooking appliance and method for deep-frying food articles in a receptacle having a lower electrical heater body, and an upper electrical heater body movable to (a) an inoperative position permitting the introduction and removal of food articles via the open top, and (b) an operative position spaced above the lower electrical heater body to permit accelerated heating of the oil. In two described embodiments, the upper electrical heater body is contained within a lid; and in a further described embodiment, it is pivotally mounted within the receptacle. Also described is a food article holder selectively supportable in an upper position spacing the food articles over the oil, or in a lower position immersing the food articles within the oil. Further described is a method of using the appliance for pre-heating the food articles before immersion in the frying oil, and for accelerated heating the food articles after immersion in the oil, to produce fried food articles of enhanced crispiness and reduced oil absorption. |
