T-fal 3.5L Stainless Steel Deep Fryer with Basket, 1700W, Oil Filtration, Temp Control, Digital Timer, Dishwasher Safe Parts

...Yes we know how to eat healthy, and generally do. But there are certain foods that no matter how hard you try, or what you use, do not come out as good as they are when deep fried. This is a decent size for doing fries, and other things for a small family. But the best thing about it may be the oil storage container. Deep fry oil is good for only so many uses, and filtering it and draining it is not easy, unless you have this Tfal unit. No hoses to drain the oil, no big spills on the counter, simply allow the oil to cool for 3 hours and flip a switch. The oils is filtered and goes into a convenient storage container. You wipe out the sediment in the vat, most parts are dishwasher safe. Wow! Having grown up in a home cooking family, where all the children got clean up duty, I am amazed and love it.

Great counter top fryer. Adjustable temperatures. has a large basket with handle. Magnetic attachable power cord. This fryer has a discharge for the used oil into a container under the fryer . Filters out the food particles and keeps the oil for the next use. Most of the fryer is dishwasher safe and cleans up real easy.

So I don't usually give reviews on products but...To all my fish frying friends....If you want the BEST "Indoor fish fryer" for when its just a small batch for 2 people... I've just found it!It was so easy to clean up & everything comes apart so easily.. the BEST part about this fryer, it has an oil filtration system that filters & saves all your oil in a container! ALL the fish fry cornmeal was seperated!!100% hands down the best fry daddy I've found!*** TFAL Ultimate EZ clean Fryer with oil filtration **I got the 3.5 L but they have a smaller one, but the 3.5L was perfect for 2 people, because we enjoy leftovers!

I decided to purchase a deep fryer in addition to my air fryer as some things just require being dunked in a vat of grease. The biggest issue with deep fryers are what to do with the oil after you've used it. After rummaging through the top-rated deep fryers, this one seemed to have consistently good reviews so I figured it would be well worth the added cost.The deep fryer is extremely simple to use. You get the base unit, cover, the heating element with temperature dial, frying basket, oil pan with valve, and a plastic container to collect the filtered oil. All these parts can be cleaned individually, and only the heating element requires special care.The pan has special markings for minimum and maximum oil. I didn't realize how much oil was required and definitely had to run to the store to buy a few more bottles to reach the minimum amount. Prior to the deep fryer, I was using a small pot to do my frying.Once you've got the oil in, you can plug the deep fryer in with the magnetic cord, turn the switch on and set the temperature. The light will turn off when it reaches the desired temperature and is ready for deep frying.I've deep fried popcorn chicken and eggrolls in this machine and it works as advertised. You're going to want to be a little below maximum oil levels in order for eggrolls to have the ability to float around while being submerged in oil. I can see this being an issue if you have particularly tall things to fry, but for most things you should be okay. The basket has an included groove that hooks onto the side of the pan, similar to how those deep fryer baskets at fast food restaurants work. This is so you can let the excess oil drip before transferring it over to a plate. Very handy!One thing that needs to be mentioned is how to drain/filter the oil after use. I don't know if I was missing an extra booklet or something, but I could not figure out HOW to get this to work. The manual made it look like if you move the switch to the "drain oil" setting, it would start doing so. Not in my experience. It may have to do with the viscosity of the oil when it's hot, but the oil will only start draining after about 1.5 hours cooling off. There's no electric sensor or anything-- nothing will drain until the oil thins out or it's cool enough for any pressure bubbles to release from the valve. I was impatient the first two attempts, and wound up manually pouring the oil in into the plastic box. On my third attempt, I decided to wait it out since I knew it was supposed to work (I tested with water and watched it drain as expected). Just give it some time and the oil will start to filter.Another word of caution.. and this is a big one: HOLD ONTO THE LID WHEN REUSING OIL FROM THE CONTAINER. The lid is not sturdy at all, so when you start pouring the oil back into the pan, there's a high chance the lid will fall off and oil will spill EVERYWHERE. I had this happen once and it is NOT fun cleaning oil from your counter top. This is a painful experience you only have to deal with once, because I'm never going to forget that moment.Cleaning is very easy since everything is detachable.Conclusion:All in all, I think this is the best (somewhat compact) deep fryer you can buy for your kitchen. Once I figured out how to get it working, it has been amazing to have a place to store your oil and easily reuse it. Cleanup is very easy, and there's not much to fault about this device aside from the instructions and how easy it is for the lid to fall off when reusing the oil. I'm very happy with this purchase and think it's well worth the extra bucks for the added convenience. I was cross-shopping the Breville Smart Fryer and another unit that had a similar easy-cleanup feature but avoided them when I saw the reviews mentioning oil leakage. Breville doesn't have the easy cleanup feature so this was a no-brainer.

I love this fryer. I use it mainly for catfish. I've tested the oil temp with my probe and the fryer is pretty much spot on. The oil drain and filtration system works like a charm. Very easy to disassemble and clean the entire unit. I reuse the oil twice before throwing it out and using fresh oil. Even then there was no discernable odor or degradation of the oil. But I read on the internet to only reuse a maximum of 3 times, therefore after 2 uses i toss it. With the high price of cooking oil, this saves me a lot of money. Highly recommend this unit.
