Aigostar Deep Fat Fryer 2200W, 3 Litre Deep Fryer Easy Clean, with Viewing Window, Stainless Steel, Temperature Control, Removable Oil Basket, Silver - Ushas 30JPN

Well, I haven't owned a deep fat fryer in years and have bought oven chips, being the healthier option. However, we recently made some homemade chicken kievs which needed a brief deep fry to seal them and we ended up just using a saucepan filled with oil. This prompted us to purchase a proper deep fryer and oh my god, I so wish we'd got one sooner. All those soggy frozen chips and uncrisp scampi are a thing of the past! We used the fryer for the first time last night, taking advice from others about which type of potatoe to use and how best to cook them for that fresh chippy result. Well, we used maris piper, and once they were chipped, boiled them slightly to soften and then left them out on a rack to cool. We cooked them first for a few minutes at 130 degrees until they were turning slightly golden, took them out, whacked the temp up to 190 and then put them back in. The result was perfect and they were so delicious! Then, in went the scampi while we drained the chips on some kitchen towel and they cooked up beautifully. A simple, quick Friday evening meal (with peas and tartare of course) but so yummy we can't wait to use it again. By the way, we used rapeseed oil as we use this for a lot of frying and the chips were golden. Yum, yum, yum!!!!!! This is a great fryer, it doesn't take up too much room on the kitchen surface and looks very sleek and professional. You do have to make sure you fix the handle on in the correct way (it clips INSIDE the basket, not the outside) and it's super easy to clean. We are thrilled for the price. Thank you!

This is a good fryer, acurate temperature only problem is the handle, as it often falls off when you shake the basket

Easy to clean and use. Second one of these I’ve bought and happy with both.

OK but a little flimsy and missing vent filter on top. Only just realised there should be one after reading reviews. Others have also had this missing part.. Steams up hot oily vapour throughout the kitchen unless you have it directly under a cooker hood which fortunately I can do. Temp guide is a little misleading at top temp for chips the chips brown up to fast and dont cook through so have adjusted right back to half way for ten minutes with a minute at higher temp to brown.

Easy to use, easy to clean but takes a few attempts to get really crispy fat chips, the whole machine is easy to put together, its like having your own chip shop fryer in your kitchen but need to sit near to a extracter fan and on a flat hob / surface that can take the heat.
