It is that a hybrid fryer, combining conventional oil heat with microwave energy in a single unit, could cut fat content without wrecking texture. This Is a Factory Idea, Not a Kitchen HackNobody is selling a hybrid microwave fryer. These studies measured oil uptake, moisture, pressure and texture. That microwave energy during frying speeds moisture loss, shortens cooking time, and reduces oil absorption compared with conventional frying at the same final moisture content. The experiments used a specialized microwave fryer, and the proposed hybrid system does not exist as a consumer appliance.
