Not a vacuum fryer but a different approach – new enough that Wikipedia doesn’t even have an entry on the practice but some old advertising provides some explanations.
Apparently Phillips debuted the technology a few years ago. I’m seeing one from another manufacturer advertised on Rakuten.
I’m less concerned about the time-saving claim and more concerned with the “Hey! I could make WonTons again and not feel like a grease sponge after eating them!”
I understand the technological concept and the appeal of the advertised ‘uses no (very very little) oil for frying’ but I’m wondering if any of you out there have actually used one and, most importantly, what you think of the resulting products. Throw me your taste-test results.
