How appealing to most enthusiastic cooks is the prospect of being able to deep-fry foods, without having to be bothered about all the downsides of deep-frying – the health risks, the mess the smell and so on.  The flavour of good deep-fried food is something we would all miss, but all the downsides connected with it results in this particular style of cooking being to a large degree avoided – and that’s a pity.  With the new generation of low-fat fryers, the dilemma looks to be solved.

The fryers work by directing a heated stream of air over and throughout the food which is enclosed in a basket. The basket is held in a drawer which slots into the front of the machine – so no longer do you have to lower a basket of food, hissing and foaming, into a vat of hot oil.

The cooking time and temperature are set using easy-to-use dial controls. At the end of the set time, the cooker turns off and a bell tells you your food is done. To cook more than one food item, just use the basket partition – so you can save time by putting different ingredients to the meal into the fryer at the same time.

Users state that many foods can be cooked with superb results. They can even be used to cook cookies and brownies – not items you would expect a fryer to turn out! It shows just how versatile these machines are. The fryers could possibly be best described as convection ovens, designed to sit on the worktop, with a basket for frying.

It is the ability to cook chips that will interest most people. Here these fryers are in reality very impressive. As long as you make the effort to learn how to do this correctly – the best potato to use, the best way to cut, the cooking time etc- the results are excellent. It’s worth remembering that you do actually have to use a bit of oil. You need to put about a half tablespoon of oil in with the fries for best results. Depending on quantities and size, the chips will be cooked in about 20-25 minutes.

They occupy little more space than a standard sized food processor, and look very impressive and futuristic. The basket and the drawer can be put into the dishwasher when you’ve finished, so cleaning is no trouble.

They come with a quick start manual to get you going, as well as a comprehensive recipe book with many assorted recipes for you to try.

These fryers undoubtedly perform as the manufacturers describe. The benefits to health of using less fat in cooking cannot really be denied. These adaptable fryers will enable you to achieve that – and produce great-tasting food as well.
