Deep Fryer with Basket, 3.5L, 1700W, Oil Filtration, Temp Control

I was in search of a new deep fryer to replace the my previous one. I was looking for something that professionals would use but at a "consumer" price. I have to say as soon as I saw this product and read the reviews, I had to try it out for myself. I have to say that this is simply the best deep fryer that I truly have ever owned. If I can rate this a 10 star review I would. Positives,. 1. Quality. A. When I first opened the box and took the unit out, I can tell that it was made very well. The stainless steal, cover, basket, oil tray, etc.... was all made to last. 2. Oil tray. This one added feature has already saved me money in reusing my oil. In my previous fryer, I would simply discard the oil after using it for only one time. Not only does this feature save you money, but is washable. You simply flip the switch on the front to the appropriate setting and the oil drains out. The secret is inside the machine. There is a screen that catches all the food particles before it hits the tray. This way you are getting screened oil to use again. I only recommend using the oil 1 or 2 more times depending upon how much you are frying. This is feature has to be one of my favorites. Thank you T Fal 3. Does it fry? Have to say the size is perfect. Just enough to put a decent amount of food in, but not too big. Not only does it heat the oil rather quickly, but does a fantastic job at frying. There is even a small lip inside the fryer to rest the basket on to rest so the excess oil can drip. 4. What about cleaning. Everything outside the power cord and the heating unit is dishwasher safe. Makes clean up so easy. Simply use the oil filter, place the oil back into the container where you got it from. Once you stored the recycled oil, take all the parts of the machine put it in the dishwasher and you are all clean. No mess, no fuss, nada. Are there any negatives? 1. honestly this isnt a negative, but something to just point out. There is a glass on the cover where you can "see inside" the fryer as its frying. Please realize you are frying,which causes steam. The steam will "condense" on the glass so its hard to see inside. How to solve that. Very easy, lift up the cover, lol. Again this is not a negative at all to me, it does work. But please be realistic in whats going on in the machine. 2. Again not a negative, but it is big. So you need to have storage space. This is not an issue for the most, unless you have a very small kitchen. Would I buy this product again? Absolutely! Would I recommend it to my family and friends. Not only would I recommend it, but would buy it for them if I had the money lol. (plus deep fryers dont make great gifts lol). This is simply the best deep fryer out there that a professional kitchen would use. Everything from top to bottom is simply fantastic. It truly is a professional chef quality item. T-Fal, you now have a customer for life. I would like to thank you for making such a high end product that often companies don't hear positives from its customers. So if anyone from this company is reading my review, Thank You! This is a well made product that was built to last. Job well done T-Fal, WELL DONE

OMG I absolutely love this thing. I have hesitated and considered buying one forever, but all the wasted oil was what was holding me back. I love that I can drain the oil into the refuse container and reuse it! The strainer cleans it so nicely. I made the most delicious fish and chips in this. It heated up very hot and cooked the fish perfectly. As others have mentioned if you put something with batter into it, it will stick to the basket. This is normal. When you drop the food in the basket, hold it above the bottom of the basket with tongs for just a second so that it makes a crust and the batter does not stick to the basket.

A bit expensive simply for the auto filtration and oil storage but made my life easier so it’s worth it to me. Cooks well but keep in mind foods that float like fries will need a little stir about half way thru or you will get brown on one side and light on the other. This is basic cooking knowledge and nothing to do with product performance. I’m actually glad it doesn’t have a built in timer, just another thing that could malfunction. I would much rather use my digital magnetic timer stuck to my fridge, I can view to the seconds if I want and has a loud alarm, costed less than $5! I’ve learned over the years that often the best products have a simplicity about them, less bells and whistles to malfunction. The warm up time for me at 375 was about 10 minutes. Disassembles easily for cleaning. Just remember the oil will not filter into the storage tank while the oil is hot or if your filter is clogged (regular cleaning will prevent this). You simply turn the switch to filter and when the oil cools enough it will filter into the storage tank. I’m assuming there is some sort of temperature controlled valve in this filter device, and for a good reason, blistering hot oil would not be beneficial to a plastic storage container. This is not ideal for larger functions where double, triple, or quadruple fryers are needed but it does great for a average size family. Im completely satisfied with this product.

I have used this fryer a few times now and overall it is a great fryer. This is my first one and initially I had always hesitated to have one because i thought it would make me eat fried foods more often, lol At any rate after for roughly 3 weeks, that has not been the case. I like it for the convenience of it making it easier to not have to cook in so many batches, the lid helps contain grease splatter and the post frying smells (which I love). I have also filtered the grease one time since having it and it was easy once i figured out the steps that was missing in the manual. Here is my list of pros and cons: Pros: easy to assemble and clean, even cooking, seems to handle any oil with high cook point (I have only used peanut oil), nice aesthetic on the counter, snug lid to minimize smells, heats quickly, I like being able to hook the basket to the fryer to drain a couple minutes before plating, can put in the dishwasher (I have only handwashed so far but I like having options) Cons: Instructions are missing key details (again my first one so for experienced users some things may have been obvious) loke when you filter the oil it doesn't specify if you have to have the unit on after moving the dial to filter (the answer is no/off), second there is no warning that the container that you filter the oil out of is to be careful to hold the lid down while pouring, I spilled a good amount of pricey peanut oil out all over the counter and floor because the lid popped open. It added 30 minutes to clean up before I could start dinner. Overall I would recommend but took one star off for the cons.

I don't generally leave reviews, but this is a great product. I'm new to having a fryer, but this unit is easy to use; cleans up super easy. It doesn't have a million buttons that I don't need. On/Off button and a temp dial. Size wise, the basket is big and deep enough to fit about 4 large Chimichangs. Great for home use, I'm very happy with my purchase...

The T-fal 3.5L Stainless Steel Deep Fryer with Basket has been a fantastic addition to my kitchen. With its powerful 1700W heating element, oil filtration system, temperature control, digital timer, and dishwasher-safe parts, this deep fryer offers exceptional performance and convenience. One of the features I appreciate most is the oil filtration system. The built-in oil filtration mechanism ensures that the oil remains clean and reusable, which is both economical and environmentally friendly. The system automatically drains and filters the oil into a separate container, making it easy to store and reuse without any hassle. This feature alone has significantly reduced the amount of oil I need to use and has kept my fried foods tasting fresh and delicious. The temperature control is another standout feature. The adjustable thermostat allows for precise temperature settings, ensuring that food is cooked perfectly every time. Whether I’m frying chicken, fish, or fries, I can easily set the temperature to achieve crispy and evenly cooked results. The quick heating element ensures that the oil reaches the desired temperature rapidly, saving time and energy. The digital timer adds to the convenience of this deep fryer. It allows me to set the cooking time accurately, preventing overcooking or undercooking. The timer also features an audible alarm that alerts me when the cooking process is complete, so I can focus on other tasks without worrying about constantly monitoring the fryer. The design and construction of the T-fal deep fryer are impressive. The 3.5L capacity is perfect for family meals and entertaining guests. The stainless steel construction is not only durable and long-lasting but also adds a sleek and modern look to my kitchen. The large frying basket is spacious and easy to handle, allowing for efficient frying of multiple items at once. One of the most convenient aspects of this deep fryer is the dishwasher-safe parts. The frying basket, oil container, and lid can all be removed and placed in the dishwasher, making cleanup a breeze. This feature saves me a lot of time and effort, ensuring that the fryer is always clean and ready for the next use. The T-fal deep fryer also features a viewing window on the lid, which allows me to monitor the cooking process without opening the fryer and releasing heat. This helps maintain the optimal cooking temperature and prevents oil splatters, keeping my kitchen cleaner. Overall, the T-fal 3.5L Stainless Steel Deep Fryer with Basket has exceeded my expectations. Its combination of efficient oil filtration, precise temperature control, convenient digital timer, and easy-to-clean design makes it an essential appliance for anyone who enjoys fried foods.

I highly recommend this deep fryer to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality kitchen appliance. It has become an indispensable part of my cooking routine, ensuring that frying is always easy, efficient, and enjoyable.

I love this deep fryer. Purchased this deep fryer so that I could make fried chicken for Thanksgiving dinner. Always wanted to make good fried chicken but never could using the stovetop. This little machine is really handy and super easy to use once you get it set up. Speaking of setup, that in itself is super duper easy. I will say one thing though-- I almost had a heart attack because I thought that the machine didn't work at first. I took all the packing away, and put the oil in then turned the dial on. Nothing. Looked up what I may have done wrong and it says to use the reset button in the back so I did that. Nothing. Then I was messing around with the control box lifting it up. Thinking maybe there was something I forgot to remove and my hand brushes across a rocker switch that was never mentioned in the setup instructions and I didn't see it previously. I felt pretty dumb, but it was easy to miss. Don't make the same mistake I did lol. Once I switched it on, put the dial up to my chosen temperature setting, we were in business. Heat up did not take long and I was frying chicken in no time flat. My chicken came out juicy yet crispy and delicious. Word of warning to all! When the directions say, do not overfill! You have to heed that direction. I guess I got ahead of myself and poured too much oil, which didn't change anything as far as the cooking process. But when it came time to drain the oil to the lower hopper, I paid the price for my impatience. I was so impressed by the easy draining and filtering of the oil at the flick of a switch, I just sat there and watched it. Walked away for a few minutes and came back and oil was flooded across my counter. I was devastated. But then I realized, It was my fault, I had over filled the oil and the lower hopper can only take what it's supposed to so any extra oil that you overfill to the unit will end up on the counter. I take full responsibility for that mistake. For my family, the size of this unit is perfect. I was able to cook three to four large drumsticks at one time. Once you take the finished food out, it was only moments before the oil temperature was back up to where it should be so I could do another round. I love that. The cord length is fine for me because I have outlets all over my kitchen. At this time, I cannot speak to its durability but will come back to update my review after I've used it a few more times. But on the whole, I love this deep fryer and even though I try not to eat fried foods too often, the rest of my family will enjoy the fruits of my labor using this amazing little machine.

This fryer is a nightmare in the daytime! I filled it with oil and then spent the next two hours trying to get it to turn on and heat up. I made sure I followed the instructions and that the controls were in the correct positions. I swapped the extension cord. I even moved it to a different electrical outlet indoors. Nothing. No power light. This unit is obviously defective. How the factory cleared it for sale is beyond me. But maybe not so much because everything about it is cheap. The metal is thin, cheap steel. The electric control, which is attached to the heating element, does not sit firmly in place on the back of the tank. It just wobbles around. Not acceptable when I am dealing with a gallon of hot oil (wishful thinking). The cord is only two feet long and won't stay attached to the control. It's magnetic and keeps coming off. Not strong enough. Even the lid doesn't sit firmly atop the tank. This thing was made to fit a price point and not for quality or function. I suppose that if it worked it would have cooked up some wings. But a home fryer must be designed to be sturdy and reliable. 374 degree oil is nothing to trifle with. I didn't read the reviews carefully before I bought it. Big mistake! If I had I would have seen that it is reviled by many customers who have similar complaints to mine, also including leaking oil everywhere. One video review that I read after I purchased it is from a guy who claims to be a chicken wing professional. He said that he had six of them and that two had given up the ghost. That's a 30% failure rate. Unacceptable. He recommends taking out the extended warranty. That says a lot. Obviously I strongly advise against even thinking about buying this piece of junk. Review update : I thought that the leaks were from only the T-fal fryer. So I ordered the All-Clad, thinking that it is better made and wouldn’t leak. Wrong! This junk leaked more than the T-fal. Here are photos of the leaks all over my concrete patio. I assure you that these are not the result of my careless spilling. The All-Clad shown leaked onto my table and then onto the floor overnight. Ditto with the T-fal. If you buy either one of these things you will be cleaning up the mess for days like I had to.

After watching my husband start a fire with a frying pan doing fries, this was a must!!!! I purchased it used, so no instructions came. It took a try or two to figure things out, (Long story) but ever since that first startup, this is a winner. My hubby loves it, can carry it outside to do his cooking and with ease change the oil when the time is right. Great purchase, great price, and ease of mind for me.

La freidora es muy practica, fácil de usar y limpiar y su sistema de filtración de aceite es la mejor parte

Hola buenas tarde un buen producto llego el mismo día en doble caja uno del producto y el otro para que no se maltratara. Lo utilice en preparar unas coliflores capeadas se hicieron muy rápido y sin batallar en que quedaran jajaja. Lo mejor que es fácil de lavar. Gracias por entregarlo tan rápido y el mismo día.

Rated #1 on the market & lives up to its designation. Heats up fast, fries as advertised. But the best part is that it will self filtrate the oil with the flip of a switch. No more fumbling with a sieve to clean your oil for your next frying

Respecto el precio y la calidad, considero que esta es una muy buena opción, leí comentarios negativos respecto del enchufe, pero yo no he tenido ningún problema de ningún tipo con ella. La recomendo ampliamente, llegó antes de lo esperado, completa, en buen estado y es fácil de usar.
