This deep fryer does not have an oil temperature display function. Monitoring the oil temperature requires using a separate thermometer or relying on the temperature dial settings. This can make it more challenging to maintain the optimal frying temperature, potentially affecting the quality of the fried food.
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. Without a filter, food particles and impurities can accumulate in the oil, affecting its flavor and lifespan.

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 function. Without a cool zone, food scraps can burn at the bottom of the fryer, leading to unpleasant odors and a shorter oil lifespan. Regular oil changes are necessary to maintain the quality of the fried food. This can be a significant drawback for those who fry frequently.
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 that prevents accidents if someone accidentally trips over it. If the cord is pulled, it will detach easily from the deep fryer body without tipping over the unit. This makes for safer operation, especially in households with children or pets.
SHOPSTAFF Rating Score
The Chefman Deep Fryer is a budget-friendly option for home frying. While it offers basic functionality like adjustable temperature and a large capacity, it lacks advanced features such as oil filtration. Durability might be a concern with frequent use. It's suitable for occasional family meals but may not meet the demands of heavy or professional use.
