Best Deep Fat Fryer With Removable Filters
Deep fat fryers aren't the cheapest of kitchen appliances - they're often complicated and heavy, meaning they may well cost you a couple of hundred pounds for a decent model. But once you've bought your machine, there are additional costs to consider: namely, oil. The oil used in deep fat fryers, after multiple uses, becomes smelly and cloudy - full of food residue and other nasty content.
When this happens, it's time to replace that oil with a clean batch. Thing is, oil is expensive, and if you're using your deep fat fryer regularly the cost of it adds up over time. Many deep fat fryers, however, come equipped with removable oil filters that greatly extend the lifespan of any single batch of oil. Not only are these filters easy to use and clean, they're also remarkably effective at keeping oil clean for longer.
Why should I look for a deep fat fryer with a removable filter?
As mentioned above, not only will such a filter save you money in the long-run, but it will also reduce your chances of getting sick from unclean oil and make the washing and oil-disposal process much simpler and cleaner. Chances are you don't particularly want to scrub charred food residue from the bottom of the oil pan when you clean - with a filter, you don't have to.
What else should I look for in a fryer with a removable filter?
Aside from the filter, it's always important to try and keep the usual factors in mind when searching for the best deep fat fryer for you. Many facets contribute to the overall deep frying experience; take a look below to see the most important ones:
- What is the capacity? The importance 0f this question will, of course, be determined by how many people you will be cooking for with your new appliance. For large numbers, a larger capacity is key (for both oil and food - which is an important distinction to make). If you're seeking a fryer for personal use, however, you don't need to worry about this as much.
- Does it have a temperature thermostat? Such features usually work via either an indicator light that illuminates once the oil has reached the right temperature for use, or instead a light that will go out once the temperature has been reached. These are important for both safety and convenience; you can avoid nasty burns and ensure that you aren't waiting around for longer than necessary to use your fryer.
- What material is it made of? This isn't merely a visual consideration - metallic fryers are much more likely to get very hot to the touch whilst turned on. Plastic fryers, on the other hand, usually stay relatively cool, so you'll be safe.
- Is it easy to dismantle? Sure, we can assume that the filter will be simple to remove, but what about the rest of your fryer? It's safe to say that washing up isn't most people's favorite activity, but it can be made much easier with a deep fat fryer that is quick to disassemble and put back together again.
Many fryers nowadays come with other unique features, such as safety technology or cooking presets. Most also come with large viewing windows that make it very simple to stay aware of how your food is cooking without needing to open the lid, lose heat from the inside and risk a burn. However, the facets highlighted above are the most important to consider when looking for the best deep fat fryers with removable filters. Read on to see our top picks!
