In the modern food processing industry, peanut frying has been widely completed by fully automatic frying equipment. Compared with the traditional manual frying method, the frying machine not only improves efficiency, but also ensures precise control of frying time and temperature, thereby improving product quality and consistency.
 

How many minutes to fry peanut?
The frying time of peanuts is usually controlled between 3 and 5 minutes, and the specific time depends on the following factors:
Peanut variety and particle size: Peanuts with larger particle size require slightly longer frying time, while small particle peanuts require relatively shorter frying time.
Pretreatment method: If the peanuts are dried or dehydrated in advance, the frying time can be reduced accordingly.
Oil temperature setting: The temperature of frying peanuts is usually set between 160℃ and 180℃. The higher the temperature, the shorter the frying time, but it is also more likely to cause problems such as burning and over-expansion, so it must be precisely controlled.
 
What should be paid attention to during peanut frying?
Oil temperature stability: Keeping the oil temperature within the set range (160~180℃) is the key. If the temperature is too low, the peanuts will not be fried well; if the temperature is too high, they will easily become bitter and discolored, and even produce harmful substances.
Oil quality management: Regularly filter the oil residue and test the oil quality to prevent oil oxidation and deterioration to ensure food safety and taste.
Frying evenly: Peanuts need to be turned over during frying to prevent sticking or local overheating.
Control moisture content: Peanuts must be fully dehydrated before frying, otherwise it is easy to cause bursting or oil splashing during frying.
Cooling and de-oiling: De-oiling and cooling should be carried out immediately after frying to ensure that the peanuts are crispy and have less oil residue.
