Equipment

  • - Electric Mixer: Useful for mixing ingredients like grated Parmesan and other seasonings before frying.

  • - Cheese Grater: Various sizes of holes help in finely grating parmesan, enhancing flavor distribution.

  • - Non-Stick Fry Pan: Enables easy flipping and removal of frico without sticking for a crispy texture.

  • - Cooking Spray: Prevents cheese from sticking to the pan using vegetable or coconut oil.

  • - Tongs: Ensures safe handling of hot frico during cooking.

  • - Oven Mitt: Protects hands when placing and removing pans from high heat.

  • - Wire Cooling Rack: Allows for draining excess oil after frying, keeping the frico crispy.

  • - Cheese Sharpener (optional): Ensures even shredding of hard cheeses like Parmesan for better meltability and texture blending.
