Equipment

  • Deep Fryer - Allows precise temperature control and is ideal for deep frying mozzarella balls without spills.

  • Food Processor - Can be used to efficiently prepare the dough by shredding cheese and chopping garlic or herbs if included in the recipe.

  • Stainless Steel Bowl - Useful for mixing ingredients together, especially when handling raw mozzarella balls.

  • Cling Film (Plastic Wrap) - Essential for shaping and storing mozzarella balls before frying them.

  • Oil Dispenser or Squeeze Bottle - Helps in evenly applying oil to the deep fryer, making it easier to control the amount of oil used during frying.

  • Piping Bag (optional) - For decorating and serving mozzarella balls neatly on plates or bowls if desired.

  • Digital Scale - Can be useful for precise measurements in baking-related recipes, though not strictly necessary for frying mozzarella balls unless aiming for specific ratios.

  • Cutting Board and Knife Set - For safely preparing ingredients like fresh basil or any additional toppings as per recipe variations.

  • Deep Frying Thermometer - Ensures the oil is at the optimal temperature (usually around 350°F for frying mozzarella balls) without needing a dedicated deep fryer with integrated thermometers.

  • Heat-Resistant Silicone Spatula and Fork Set - Essential for handling food in hot oil safely and effectively during the cooking process.
