My deep fryer won't shut off!!?
I made some french fries in my deep fryer about 15 mins ago and turned the deep fryer off. It still kept cooking for some odd reason and started to sound really loud. I pulled the plug from the wall and it kept going! the oil inside is still boiling, i can see it. I dropped about 2 or 3 fries in the oil, does that matter? Why would this thing be still cooking 15 mins after I shut it off? It's freaking me out.
Answers:
You had it turned on really high and the oil is still hot--if it has no power source it is off.
The oil is not off.
Relax if you used an actual deepfrier when you liftted the lid the steam changed to water and the water fell in the hot oil which causes bubbling and a sort of violent reation
The fryer is insulated so it keeps the heat in, and it would take that long for the hot oil to cool down especially if the heat was turned up high.
unplug it
