| This is the 1st deep fryer I've ever purchased. After reading the reviews for a bunch of fryers I chose this one and I have to say I am completly impressed. The rotating basket is great and ensures food is cooked evenly. We have made everything from Tempura Veggies, to Fried Chicken and Steaks (yes we figured we would try to fry steak too!) to Funnel Cakes. The fryer is so easy to use that my 11 year old daughter uses it to make fries all of the time. Its so much safer than having her stand over a pot or pan of hot oil! |

pros:
1. uses less oil
2. heats quickly, even allowing for smaller oil volume; did not check the temperature for accuracy
3. empties easily, but the filter can overflow - suggest watching drainage and this goes quickly
4. rotating basket that does seem to decrease greasiness of french fries
5. cool exterior - important to prevent burns and melting of adjacent plastic
cons: can't think of any other than you have to prepare the food yourself!
bottom line: are the fries any better, not convinced they are; but they appear less geasy |

 "Is this eve rust proof?" | 2009-09-30 |

I purchased this and used couple times. It works pretty good with 2 problems though?
IS THIS RUST PROOF? BECAUSE THE BASKET STARTED TO RUST IN JUST TWO USINGS. I' m not sure it' s food stains, or rust but I' m having great trouble reusing it until I figure out why the basket browned a bit. seems like rust but I am still investigating.
Also, the basket is incredibly difficult to clean. It' s not non- stick, so any amount of fried flour, etc will stick like hell on the basket and won' t come off even with scraping. I had it soaked in water for a day and then scrabbed it with my hands for like half hour, then used a toothbrush to clean it thouroughly. Hardly worth the trouble.
And the basket may not even be rust- proof.
Better save your money and buy a stainless steel unit, though I heard the stainless steel ones still have trouble with cleaning as the food does stick on it as well.
Well, back to the store it goes.
Nico.

I have 3 deep fryers at present...some collected over the years searching for (1) I would actually use without being deterred by cleanup and (2) that would actually produce a fried food where I could actually taste the food and NOT the oil it was cooked in. Enter the Delonghi Roto-Fryer.
It uses very little oil...and it leaves very little oil on the food I fry in it. Clean up is simple given the built-in drain, included container in which to filter the oil after the frying is done (and the oil is cool).
In all honesty, I have never tasted better deep fried food than what this machine produces, enough said.
I will say one thing, use a high temperature oil that will not "burn" readily. Peanut oil is good for this though I use the cheaper canola oil. The reason this is an issue is the simple fact the heating elements are below the fry pan so there is no proverbial "cool zone". To help lessen this effect...clean it after each use and, again, use a high temp tolerance oil.
If you deep fry donuts or other drop in foods, you would probably better served with the non-tilting/rotating model of this brand...but for fries, tots, mushrooms, etc which sit in the basket - you have found the fryer for you.
PROS: simple cleanup, very little oil used, delicious results
CONS: large footprint (for those to who counter space is an issue)

| We owned a Delonghi fryer, and after 4 years I broke the handle doing something STUPID. So, we did a search of all the fryers out there and still bought a Delonghi. This ROTO-FRYER is so well thought out. The old one I hardly ever drained. This one is so easy that when we fry something that leaves batter behind, it's as easy as washing out a frying pan(let the oil cool first,) just wipe out with a paper towel after you drain the oil into the supplied tub and dump it right back in when you're finshed. So, it's no SPECIAL chore to clean out!! Just using less oil is such a plus(which at first I was skeptical,) that the food comes out almost oil-less. This tip helps also, 'Just pull up the handle, lock it in position to let the food set in the basket with the lid closed for a minute or two after cooking, the heat inside will drain more of the oil, and the food will be even crispier.' The air in the house is not affected by cooking in this fryer, because the filters work flawlessly(buy the filters from Amazon.) And not a drop of oil on the counter. What's also cool is, that it doesn't look like a fryer, so you don't have to hide it anywhere when you're done. We are happy with the amount that this fryer cooks, but for a family of 4 or more it may take longer. But, the recover time is fast because less oil is used. So, six of one, half a dozen of the other. The roto works great also. I've read reviews where some say it stops rotating. That may be an issue if the basket is not washed at the top rim to get rid of the crust that builds up over time(just throw the basket in the dishwasher.) I'm happy now I broke the handle on the old fryer, this Roto-Fryer is the ultimate! And the price? Couldn't go wrong for 89.00. Including shipping!! A BIG THANKS goes out to Amazon for shipping time. |

| I was so impressed with how quickly the oil heated up and how evenly the onion strings cooked. It saves a lot of oil, too, and the clean up is a breeze. I had to try a couple of batches to get the timing correct... but after that it was perfect. Also nice is the no grease smell, and the oil saving filter and storage container that's included. I've had a Fry Daddy, but this seems to be much better at keeping the temperature consistent so the food is not brown outside and soggy inside. The clean up with the drainage tube is so much easier, too. The Delonghi may cost more but it's definitely worth it... plus you'll soon be even because you can reuse the grease longer. |
