How to make canollis without a deep frier?
I absolutely love cannolis but every recipe I see requires a deep frier. Is it possible to make them without one?
Best Answer
The very nature of cannolis is that they are deep fried, but you don't need a fryer for that, a large pot, a half liter or so of neutral oil and a thermometer are all that you need. Like doughnuts, fried is the way to go, but they can be baked (if you must). Here's a sample recipe: Baked Cannolis.

How do you fry cannoli shells without tubes?
Roll the dough around a cannoli tube and place them in the air fryer. Cook at 400F for 5-7 minutes, or until the shells are crisp. Carefully remove the cannolis from the mold and set them on a wire rack to cool.Can you air fry cannoli?
Like lard or shortening, coconut oil is solid at room temperature and liquid when warm. That's great for deep frying, because it gives fried foods a shell that's crisp, but never greasy.What is the best oil to fry cannoli shells?
For baked cannoli shells, I'd suggest lightly greasing the metal tubes before wrapping them with the pastry dough. Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. I'd try baking at 350 degrees F for about 15 minutes or so to start. Some people also have good luck with an air fryer.Cannoli Recipe

Answer 2
You can take a wok and put in significant amount of oil and let it heat sufficiently. You can test whether the oil is sufficiently high in temperature by dropping a little bit of salt in it. If you see an instant reaction then the oil is hot enough. After which you can drop in your canollis one at a time but don't put in too many canollis in a single batch as it could significantly reduce the tempeerature of oil and the canollis may come out to be undercooked and soggy.
