Great Kenwood Deep Fat Fryer
Review of Kenwood DF600 by
pcschof
Advantages: Great Fryer - with Coolwall - very easy to clean
Disadvantages: none so far
We bought this to replace our old Delonghi fryer and we havent been disappointed yet.
It holds 2 1/2 litres of oil at its maximum level and 2 litres at the minimum.
The heat setting is adjustable via a roller wheel towards the bottom of the unit and this makes it very user friendly. The lid is easy to open and the basket is very easy to remove from the bowl and also very easy to put back in. The great advantage of this fryer is that it is exceptionally ... ...are completely dishwasher safe. Making this fryer very friendly to use and to keep clean. The bowl is removable which makes it so easy to clean the rest of the unit.
It has an integrated filter in the lid, which is also washble.
The temperature control knob is very easy to use.
We paid £54 for this deep fat fryer when it was on special offer in Comet. We'd looked on the web and Comet was the cheapest we could find at the time. An excellent product ...

Tefal Acti Fry
Review of Tefal FZ 7000 Actifry by
bullyfome
Advantages: use little oil
Disadvantages: easy to break no repair
I bought this to cook chips but it takes to long 35-40 mins but they are not worth the wait to dried up .
It does chicken wings great in 30 mins it also does have a recipe
book some of them work others do not.
The let downs of the fryer are the plastic clear lid the clips that keep lid closed are made of the same thin polycarbonate and after a little time
the become brittle and break off so you can not keep the lid down.
Lakeland customer service ...

Tefal Actifry caught fire on 5th use.
Review of Tefal FZ 7000 Actifry by
Ishouldbesolucky
Advantages: Can make fresh low fat chips and wedges, easy to clean
Disadvantages: Bit big so takes up room, takes quite a long time to cook, caught on fire
I love the chips and wedges (that I made with fresh organic potatoes), and so do the family. It is much cheaper to make your own, once you have bought the product, but takes a longish time to cook - up to 45 mins depending on how much you cook. One kilo of wedges take 45 minutes. Less takes a little less time.
The instructions are easy to follow from the recipe book, I haven't tried any of the interesting recipes in there.
I can't use wheat flour ... ...two tablespoons of oil, and I added spices as per recipe but my own choice of spices.
The actifry is easy to dismantle and clean in the dishwasher and it doesn't smell much when cooking.
However after just 5 uses my actifry caught on fire and it is really lucky I noticed this right away or it could have been very serious, so it is going back to the retailer.
I unplugged it and shut the lid and it went out, but produced a lot of chemical/plastic ...

Review of Kenwood DF520 by
travellinggardener
Advantages: Good to cook with. Easy to clean.
Disadvantages: Rather large to store.
Kenwood DF520
I have found this fryer to be an efficient addition to my kitchen. It is rather bulky so advisable to have a cupboard to store it in, for, if you are like me, it will only be used on a few occassions. It cooks well with a good range of temperatures and has a reasonable sized basket for the food to be cooked. It is rather spoilt by the viewing window becoming hard to see through once cooking has commenced as it appears to steam ...
