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 thermostat allows users to set the oil temperature between 140°F and 392°F, accommodating various frying needs. This ensures optimal crispness and browning for different foods, preventing undercooking or burning. Essential for achieving consistent results.
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 deep fryer does not include a built-in timer function. Users must manually monitor the frying time to prevent overcooking. This requires more attention during operation, as there is no automatic alert when the set time has elapsed. Consider using a separate kitchen timer.
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.
While the fryer has an adjustable thermostat and an indicator light, it lacks a dedicated oil temperature display. Users need to rely on the thermostat settings and indicator light to estimate the oil temperature, which may not be as precise as a direct temperature readout. Consider using a separate thermometer for accuracy.
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 an integrated oil filtration system. Food scraps and impurities will accumulate in the oil, requiring more frequent oil changes to maintain quality and prevent unpleasant odors. Consider manually filtering the oil after each use to extend its lifespan.
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 product description mentions a lid cover, but it does not specify whether it includes a viewing window. Without a viewing window, users must open the lid to check the frying progress, which can cause oil splattering and temperature fluctuations. Use caution when opening the lid during operation.
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 deep fryer does not have a cool zone at the bottom. Food scraps that sink to the bottom will be exposed to high temperatures, potentially burning and affecting the oil quality. More frequent oil changes and manual cleaning of the fryer bottom may be necessary.
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.
This model does not feature a magnetic breakaway power cord. Take extra care to position the fryer so that the cord will not be tripped over. Ensure the power cord is placed away from high-traffic areas to prevent accidental disconnections or hazards.
