Features
Allows you to set the oil temperature according to the ingredients you are frying. You can achieve the ideal crispness and browning for various foods, from delicate vegetables to meats. Prevents undercooking or burning.
The adjustable temperature control allows you to set the oil temperature according to the food you are frying, helping to achieve optimal crispness and browning. This prevents undercooking or burning, ensuring consistent results. It is controlled via a dial, which may not be as precise as a digital thermostat.
A function that alerts you when the set frying time has elapsed. This prevents overcooking and ensures consistent results every time. Allows you to multitask without worrying about burning your food.
The built-in timer alerts you when the set frying time has elapsed, preventing overcooking and ensuring consistent results every time. This allows you to multitask without worrying about burning your food. It is a basic timer function, not as advanced as digital timers with automatic shut-off.
Displays the current oil temperature, allowing you to monitor and maintain the optimal temperature for frying. Helps prevent temperature fluctuations that can affect the quality of the fried food. Easier to obtain perfectly crispy food.
This model does not have an oil temperature display function. Monitoring the oil temperature requires using a separate thermometer, which can be inconvenient and less precise. This makes it more challenging to maintain the optimal frying temperature.
Equipped with a filter to remove food scraps and impurities from the oil during frying. This keeps the oil cleaner for longer, reducing unpleasant odors and extending the life of the oil. You can fry food in a pleasant environment.
This model does not have a filter function, meaning that oil needs to be changed more regularly than models which include a filter. Consider filtering oil manually to prolong its life and maintain its quality. Without filtration, food particles can burn and affect the taste of the oil.
Allows you to check the frying process without opening the lid. This prevents oil splattering and helps maintain a consistent oil temperature. Safer and more efficient frying.
The lid with a viewing window allows you to check the frying process without opening the lid, preventing oil splattering and helping maintain a consistent oil temperature. This makes for safer and more efficient frying. However, the viewing window may fog up, requiring occasional cleaning.
A function with a cool zone at the bottom of the fryer where food scraps collect. This prevents the scraps from burning and keeps the oil cleaner for longer. Reduces unpleasant odors and extends oil life.
This model does not have a cool zone function. Without a cool zone, food scraps can burn at the bottom of the fryer, affecting the taste of the oil and requiring more frequent oil changes. This can also lead to unpleasant odors and reduced oil life.
A function where the power cord is magnetically attached to the deep fryer. If the cord is tripped over or pulled, it will detach easily from the deep fryer body without tipping over the unit. Makes for safer operation.
The magnetic breakaway power cord is a valuable safety feature. If the cord is tripped over or pulled, it will detach easily from the deep fryer body without tipping over the unit, preventing spills and potential burns. This adds an extra layer of safety during operation.
