Deep Fat Fryers > Tefal Deep Fat Fryers > 2.1

Advantages: Do not have to keep draining oil after each use
Disadvantages: Takes up alot of countertop space

The Tefal Prissima has been n a life saver for my daily life. Since I do not work and my fiance does, it is sort of a nonspkoken agreement that I would do most of the cooking until I am able to get a job. One of the most important parts of the kitchen for me is to have something to deepfry in. That along with a George Foreman grill. Well since we had nothing to deep fry in I felt out of place, almost did not know how to cook some things without it. ...
...range I decided upon the Tefal Prissima. Before I go on about this particular Deep Fryer let me give a little bit of Tefals details. This information was found while I was doing some research, at the Tefal homepage before buying the "right" deep fryer for me.

Advantages: Removable lid which is dishwasher safe
Disadvantages: Everything else

In fact the item I have cannot really be called a fryer. It takes over 15 minutes to preheat, even then not reaching a frying temperature, merely slight bubbling, resulting in warm soggy greasy potato pieces, rather than chips. Despite turning the temperature control to maximum, and setting the timer to 30 ... Read review

Advantages: lid is removable to go in dishwasher, doesn't need that much oil
Disadvantages: does not product crispy chips no matter what potatoes or oil you use

I have always wanted a deep fat fryer for those few occasions where you really fancy chips with a meal. The Delongie F603 Chips came my way a month ago. I have now used it 5 times for chips and every time I have been horribly disappointed. I have tried different potatoes, different size chips, drying them out completely, different oils and every single result has been soggy slightly brown round the ends chips. Not only that the steam that comes from ...
...wallpaper off your kitchen ceiling. I thought the fryer must be faulty but then I tried it with scampie and the result was absolutely perfect and again tiger prawns making my own batter this time, the results again perfection. As it is called "Chips" and really that is all I wanted it for I can't see any redeeming facts. It isn't expensive and it does have all the features like removable lid for dishwasher, fairly odourless but I can not get my ... Read review
