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 temperature adjustment function allows you to adjust the heat, but it lacks precise temperature markings. This requires some trial and error to find the optimal setting for different foods. While functional, it's less precise than digital controls.
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.
This fryer lacks a timer function, requiring you to manually monitor the cooking time. This can be inconvenient if you're multitasking or need precise cooking times. Consider using a separate kitchen timer to avoid overcooking.
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.
There is no oil temperature display, making it difficult to know the exact temperature of the oil. This can lead to inconsistent results, as you have to rely on visual cues and experience to determine when the oil is ready. An external thermometer can help.
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.
The built-in filter helps to remove some food particles from the oil, extending its life and reducing unpleasant odors. However, it's not as effective as a dedicated filtration system, so you'll still need to change the oil regularly. Manual filtering may be needed for best results.
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 viewing window in the lid allows you to monitor the frying process without opening the fryer, preventing oil splatters and maintaining a consistent temperature. However, the window can fog up, requiring you to wipe it occasionally for a clear view.
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 fryer does not have a cool zone, meaning food particles can burn at the bottom, affecting the oil quality and potentially imparting off-flavors to your food. Frequent oil changes are recommended to mitigate this issue. Cleaning the bottom thoroughly is also important.
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 great safety feature, preventing accidental spills if someone trips over the cord. It easily detaches from the fryer, minimizing the risk of burns and messes. This is especially useful in busy kitchens or households with children.
