Breville Cool Wall Deep Fat Fryer

Deep-fat fryers seem to be becoming evermore popular in today’s kitchens. Not wanting to feel left out, I decided to buy one for myself, so that I could see what has made them so popular. The fryer I purchased was the Breville Cool Wall Deep Fat Fryer. I purchased it from Currys at a price of £19.99, although I have seen it priced up to as much as £27.99 is some smaller household appliance stores. This was one of the cheaper fryers on offer, but I didn’t want to spend an excessive amount in case I didn’t end up using it very much. When I got it home and took it out of the box, everything ... more

A few months ago, my husband bought a deep fat fryer, something which I was not enthusiastic about, I don`t eat chips very often and I hate changing the oil (would rather use oven chips), but up to him I guess. I imagined it as an ornament to be used occassionally along with the sandwich toaster, breadmaker and smoothie maker.

The Breville Cool Wall Deep Fryer is a great fryer if you're not looking to spend a lot and probably don't plan on having chips and fried food every night! Breville are known for making a lot of lower priced kitchen equipment (in ... more

I had a sudden craving for chips. Egg, beans and chips to be precise, but not really liking oven chips and not having a saucepan big enough I decided that a chip fryer was in order. Visiting our nearest Tesco Superstore I found the Breville Cool Wall Deep Fat Fryer for 19.99. It is cylindrical in shape, which I initially found attractive but now realise that a rectangular one would have fitted more neatly in the corner. Standing 11 inches (28cm) high and at it’s widest point, 13 inches (33cm) in diameter it is fitted with a plug on a 4 foot (116cm) cable. It doesn’t look very big in my ... more

We invested in this deep fat fryer quite recently, intending to use it for a variety of food - chips, chicken etc. Unfortunately, being in somewhat of a rush that day and faced with a wide range of prices, we plumped for the basic £19.99 fryer. Its nice and white and holds I can honestly say that this is a case of you get what you pay for. The instruction are basic - they couldn't actually be much else as this fryer: Has no on/off switch - plug 'n' play I suppose No range of temperature setting The cool wall isn't - it does heat up noticeably The automatic temperature control merely heats the ... more
