Advantages: Great product, easy to use and cooks food without it sticking

Disadvantages: The price tag

I was bought this fryer as a present . I must admit although the idea of a fryer where the basket rotated the food so that some of the time it is in the fat and some of the time it is not submerged may have sounded novel, but when investing in a piece of equipment I tend to be rather conservative. Last thing I will want is children complaining that the chips aren't cooked properly.


When I got it out and used it I was surprised firstly because I did not have to put as much fat n the bowl as for other fryers I have used. The food that it produced was good, but then again, I thought, a fryer fries food, not a lot else it can do. It needs accurate temperature control and needs to look good, if it is compact, (which the Delonghi is), this is also an advantage.


After using it for a while I can now see why it justifies the higher price; The temperature appears very consistent, and when food is put in it reheats to the temperature very quickly, but the most useful feature is that in the rotation of the food there is never a problem with it sticking together. You can put the food in, and leave it until its cooked, no need to shake baskets. I can't say that the foods is more healthy, but less fat comes off onto the kitchen towel when it is drained, so at least less oil is wasted!







If I was going out to buy one now I would seriously think about another of these, the price may make me think twice, but if I could afford it I think I would buy it again.
