Deep fat fryer

[TipTop]

I'm looking for my first deep fat fryer so I can make my own chips and veal cutlets etc.

I found this at half price and was wondering if it's any good. It seems very cheap.

Is it worth it or should I pay double to get a better one? I probably wont use it very much, so does it make sense to buy one of the cheapest fryers I can find?

Thanks.

And if its something you dont use very much, this wont matter.

That's what I was thinking.

Asda are doing a similar Breville one for £23 at the moment, if it's of any interest.

Do you have a link? There is a huge 24 hour Asda about 20 mins on the bus from me.

I bought one in store last time I was there, works fine for the rare occasion I use one. They also have 3l slow cookers for £7 which is really cheap

Thanks Raikiri, that looks great, and Breville are a good make. Decisions decisions.

I wouldn't know what to do with a slow cooker.

You know you want to.

It's probably not the rectangular shaped one that I need to fit my veal cutlets into.

The Breville one looks to be a winner...I like the fact you can take it apart for cleaning:-

Easy cleaning does sound good for my lazy bones.

Get one that goes fairly low in temperature so you can do twice fried chips. Ours only goes to 170 and you need it to go lower to do it properly.

I've never heard of twice fried chips before.

How often do you change your oil, what do you like using, vegetable or sunflower?

No idea. This will be my first fryer.

I have the old version of this one. Very simple, temps from 130 to 190c which is a must if you intend on doing chips.

I also recommend double cooked chips but if you have the time check out triple cooked.

That looks great for only £30.

Now we are on triple cooked chips. Help me understand these multi cooked chips.
