When i was a child i was treated every other week to homemade chips. I decided to go out and buy my own chip maker just so i could relive the taste of homemade fried potatoes. I chose this small chip maker as it doesn't take up much kitchen top space, nor does it hurt the eye to look at.

The casing feels a little bit flimsy and the wire pan is really small. It says it's a 1.8l pan but i can only ever safely put in about 1.6l before it is at risk of bubbling over the top once the potatoes added.

It cooks well if you don't add too much at once, don't overfill the oil and don't leave it in for too long otherwise the food tastes under/over done.
As with all friers there comes a small amount of danger but if care is taken then most injuries should be avoided.
