Fried peanuts are a favorite snack for many people. They are not only crispy but also nutritious. In the process of frying peanuts, oil temperature control is a crucial factor, which directly affects the appearance, taste and quality of peanuts. What is the ideal temperature for frying peanut? Why is it so important to accurately control the oil temperature?
 
The ideal temperature for frying peanuts?
Generally speaking, the best oil temperature for frying peanuts is between 170°C and 190°C. This temperature range ensures that the peanuts are fried to a crispy outside and cooked inside in a short time, maintaining the integrity of the peanuts and preventing excessive charring. Specifically, if the temperature is too low, the frying time will be too long, and the peanuts will easily become greasy and have a poor taste; while if the temperature is too high, it will easily cause the outside to quickly become charred, but the inside will not be fully fried, and the taste will be poor.
 

The influence of oil temperature on the taste of peanuts
The oil temperature is too low (below 170°C): At this time, the peanuts will absorb too much oil, making them greasy and taste worse. Low-temperature frying may also cause the peanuts to be unevenly cooked inside and outside, with the outer layer being crispy and the inner layer not yet cooked.
Oil temperature is too high (above 190°C): Oil temperature that is too high will make the surface of the peanuts become brittle quickly, but it is easy to burn, resulting in a bitter taste and the nutrients may also be destroyed. Too high oil temperature will also make the surface of the peanuts hard, while the inside is not fully fried, affecting the overall taste.
 
Application of peanut frying machine
In peanut processing plants, the frying process usually requires large-scale and high-efficiency production. In order to ensure that each batch of peanuts can achieve the ideal frying effect, the automatic peanut frying machine has become one of the core equipment in peanut processing plants.
It can achieve precise temperature control to ensure that the oil temperature always remains within the ideal range. This type of equipment is equipped with efficient temperature sensors and control systems that can monitor oil temperature fluctuations in real time and automatically adjust the heating or cooling system as needed to maintain a constant oil temperature. The advantages of this precise temperature control are reflected in the following aspects:

1. Improve product consistency: By precisely controlling the temperature, the frying effect of each batch of peanuts is ensured to be consistent, avoiding quality differences caused by lack of experience or temperature fluctuations in manual operation.
2. Energy saving: Through the precise temperature control system, the automatic fryer can minimize the waste of energy. For example, the fryer will automatically adjust the heating power to avoid energy waste when the oil temperature is too high, and replenish heat in time when the temperature drops.
3. Improve production efficiency: The automatic frying machine can process large quantities of peanuts quickly and continuously without human intervention. The equipment can set the working cycle and automatically complete multiple links such as frying and cooling, which improves the efficiency and output of the production line.
4. Reduce human errors: Traditional manual frying is easily affected by the operator's technical level, while automatic frying machines can avoid quality instability caused by human factors through automated control, ensuring that each peanut produced meets the standards.
