Quest 2.5 Litre Deep Fat Fryer, Removable Lid with Viewing Window, Deep Fryer for Chicken, Chips & More, Serves 1-3, Dishwasher Safe Removable Oil Container, 1800W (35239)

Although much smaller than my previous fryer this is adequate for our use. I used to have quite a large fryer and had replaced it for a double 6 ltr (12 ltr total) fryer which was great for making batches of fish and chips, fried chicken and chips etc. etc. One pan was used for frying meats and fish and the other was only used for chips. It got to the point where it was uneconomical to use the double fryer and it wasn't getting as much use. So, I got rid of the double fryer and thought I now need a single fryer, like my old one. When I took this out of the packaging it appeared a little too small for what I wanted but I tried it anyway. This little deep fryer actually surprised me as it does cook enough chips for two of us and depending on what else is being eaten it's enough for the child as well so it cooks enough for three. I only use this fryer for chips and nothing else as that keeps the oil cleaner and fresher longer. I use peanut / groundnut oil as that makes the chips tastier and the oil doesn't burn at high temperature. Everything else is deep fried in a wok so I don't mind the oil being contaminated with debis consisting of spices, breadcrumbs, tiny bits of batter etc. as it is so easy to remove the oil for filtering before further use. This deep fryer can cook anything that one would normally deep fry, from onion rings, to scampi, to chicken wings, to fried chicken etc. etc. but personally I don't like the hassle of having to constantly drain enclosed fryers so the oil can be cleaned and used again, it was a lot of work when I had the double fryer. Overall, this little deep fryer has impressed me with it's quality and it's reliability. It does heat close to the required temperatures if not spot on so the results are the same every time. One of the best things about this fryer is the clear window. SImply put a little oil on a piece of tissue and wipe the inside of the window. The oil stops the condensation from sticking so one can see clearly through the window and watch the food cooking. It is really handy as both my previous deep fryer had to be opened after a while so as to watch the food finishing the cooking other wise it could burn. The same applied with my double fryer, after a few minutes the lids had to be taken off to keep an eye on the food. With this window one can watch the food cook and only open the lid when required to do so, at the end of the cooking process. For those that haven't used deep fryers before, there is a very simple way to know when food is cooked through... it floats. Everything from onion rings and chips through to chicken nuggets and scampi will float on top of the hot oil when it is cooked. Once the food starts flooating it is ready to be removed and consumed. I am recommending this small deep fruyer as it is good quality, it cooks well and it is good value.

Nice little fryer good quality easy to use ideal for 1 to 2 people

Smaller than I expected but overall a very decent fryer

Value for money item which will allow you to decide to spend more on a higher specced unit

Great little item. Looks nice & compact. Good delivery time too.

Needed a small size deep fryer to fry quick nuggets and chips . This is perfect size needed and for my kitchen it is compact design heats up in 5 minutes ready for cooking. I saw some comments about taking longer to heat but so for I am impressed with this. It looks good match with other appliances. Ideal for a quick frying small portion

A bit dissapointing, it doesn't have a cool wall it was very warm on the surrounds and even the plug was warm so u would not want to use it for long..

Great item, I would mention that the upkeep is a lot, though. It can be difficult to clean certain parts of the fryer. You can fit a lot in there at a time, though, which is great. The lip does keep the main smell away from the kitchen which is an absolute must for me. I feel it is fairly safe, a bit daunting to open up the lid the first few times as it can spit a bit.

It stopped working after one use. I dont know howc to contact the seller. I have requested a refund but it is such an inconvenience for me to return this defective item
