The Tefal FA700415 Family Oleoclean Fryer is really such a great product, I have one at home, and I received it as a wedding present by one of my relatives. When I found out it was a deep fat fryer, I was thinking they must be having a laugh, did they want me to become fat or something but actually the fryer wasn’t so bad.

Well what I can say about the deep fat fryer from my first experiences after using it to deep fry my frozen chips and fish fingers which I was making for my sons tea. I found that it’s quite good; the chips got done quite quickly, depending on what temperature you set it at. I set it at the highest one but before I could put the chips in I had to wait a while for the oil to heat up and that was the bad thing about it becomes I’m quite an inpatient person. I kept checking if the oil was hot by putting a piece of chip in but it was still warming up.

The deep fat fryer looked just like any other ordinary fat fryers, there was nothing different in terms of its appearance, and this fryer was a white plastic, circular shape fryer. The only difference this deep fat fryer had was that it automatically filters and cleans the oil for you. Also once the fryer knows that the oil has cooled down to the correct temperature, it manually filters the oil into a storage container below. This leaves the oil clean and ready for the next use. Once filtering is complete, all you have to do is basically put the oil storage container in the fridge for convenient storage. This is the only reasons why I love it, because there is very little cleaning and hardly any fuss which is great, because I personally hate cleaning out chip fat and oil.

Another reason why I like this product is because It also has a small minute resolution timer right on the machine which is a great thing, you can put in the food, and walk away for a minute, and come back when the timer goes off.

The negative side of the deep fat fryer is that it doesn't always reach the temperature that it supposes to reach. So when you’re cooking your frozen food at 190 degrees C it would shut off and the oil will cool down sometimes, which delays the cooking time which isn’t great and can be a pain.

Since it was a wedding present I didn’t know how much it cost, but I did some research on it and found some useful facts about the Tefal FA700415 Family Oleoclean Fryer which are:
