Myth vs. Fact

❌ Myth: Pressure frying makes food greasy. 
✅ Fact: Pressure frying can actually reduce oil absorption compared to traditional frying. 

By cooking under pressure, food retains moisture while developing the crispy texture customers love. Less oil absorption. 
More flavor. That's the power of pressure frying. 🔥🍗
