⚡ At a Glance
- • Frying Performance: Immersed heating element brings oil to cooking temperature faster for crisp, even results
- • Best for: Small households and cooks preparing up to three portions who want tidy frying
- • Not ideal for: Large gatherings or continuous, heavy-duty frying that needs larger capacity
Automatic filtration drains, cleans and stores oil once cooled. Adjustable thermostat controls frying temperature between 150°C and 190°C.
Cleaner Oil for Longer – Thanks to Patented Automatic Filtration System
Turning the dial to "automatic filtration" initiates a cycle that drains oil once it has cooled, filters contaminants and stores the cleaned oil for future use.
Fewer oil changes and less manual filtering make maintenance quicker and extend usable oil life, saving time and waste for regular fryers.
Faster, More Even Cooking – With Immersed Heating Element
The heating element sits immersed in the oil so cooking temperature is reached more quickly and heat is distributed evenly across the basket.
Reduced preheat times and more consistent browning help achieve crisper coatings and reliable results for battered or breaded foods.
Accurate Temperature Control – With Adjustable Thermostat (150°C–190°C)
An adjustable thermostat allows selection of temperatures between 150°C and 190°C, enabling appropriate heat for different ingredients and recipes.
Precise temperature selection reduces overcooking and soggy results, making it easier to cook delicate items as well as thicker chips.
