This model does not have a dedicated oil temperature display function. Users need to rely on the thermostat and their own monitoring to maintain the optimal frying temperature. This may require some experience and attention to ensure consistent results. An external thermometer might be useful for precise monitoring.
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 include a filter function. Users will need to change the oil more frequently to maintain its cleanliness and prevent unpleasant odors. Consider filtering the oil manually to prolong its life and ensure the best frying results. Regular oil changes are essential for optimal performance.
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.
This model does not include a lid with a viewing window. Monitoring the frying process requires opening the lid, which can cause oil splattering and temperature fluctuations. This may affect the consistency of the fried food and increase the risk of accidents. 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.
The large cool zone at the bottom of the fryer prevents food scraps from burning, keeping the oil cleaner for longer and reducing unpleasant odors. This feature significantly extends the life of the oil and ensures that food is fried in a cleaner environment. The cool zone contributes to better-tasting and healthier fried food.
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. Extra care should be taken to position the fryer so that the cord will not be tripped over. This absence increases the risk of accidental spills and potential hazards. Ensure the fryer is placed on a stable surface and the cord is safely routed.
