Brilio.net - Fried foods are known as foods that are rich in oil. The process of making them requires a lot of oil, and this situation is made worse by the layer of flour used as a coating, which tends to absorb oil during the frying process .
Some types of fried foods can even be squeezed to release excess oil. Nevertheless, the frying method remains popular because of its practicality and speed. In addition, the frying process also provides a crispy and crunchy texture to the food that many people like.
Although difficult, there are actually ways to reduce excess oil in fried foods. One effective and easy method is to drain the fried food after cooking. Some people use special tools such as spinners to remove excess oil from fried foods more efficiently than manual strainers.
However, oil spinner machines are generally quite expensive equipment. This tool is more often used by large-scale fried food producers to drain oil from products to be sold. For household use that only occasionally makes fried food, the investment to buy this tool may be less practical and economical.
But don't worry, because a YouTube user hendy mushroom jamur once shared another way to drain fried food. This crispy mushroom seller also has a creative idea so that the remaining oil in his fried food can be removed as much as possible. The tools used are also very simple.

As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube hendy mushroom jamur on Monday (30/9), the tools used are only plastic, a clean perforated plastic basket, and raffia rope. The method is to tie the raffia rope to the end of the plastic basket. Then put the basket in the plastic. It is better to use clear plastic which is safer for food.

If so, put the crispy mushrooms to be drained into the basket. Because they are freshly fried, these crispy mushrooms contain a lot of oil. If drained with a regular strainer, it will certainly take a very long time.
Next, close and tie the plastic with raffia rope. Then put the basket into the washing machine spinner. The YouTube user uses a two-tub washing machine that has a separate spinner to dry clothes. Well, this spinner will help drain the oil faster.

After inserting, close tightly and turn on the spinner for only 1 minute. This machine will spin quickly and make the oil on the crispy mushrooms be thrown out of the basket hole. Well, the remaining oil will collect at the bottom of the plastic.

When the machine is off, lift the basket. And sure enough, the remaining cooking oil is collected on the outside of the plastic. Next, remove the crispy mushrooms to eat. Because they are free of oil, the mushrooms are crispier and don't get soft easily.
