Quest 35239 2.5L Deep Fryer/Features Removable Lid & Large Observation Window/Adjustable Temperature/Ergonomic Cool Touch Handle/Black

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.

This is a real bargain. Much less expensive than other models and doing the job remarkably well. Recommended without hesitation.

Does what it says on the tin, very happy with the quality and the food that cooked in it. fast heatup and easy instructions.

A good deep fat fryer that does what it should. It’s compact and holds a good amount of food.

It's light and really easy to use

This would be a really good chip pan but the basket is very flimsy and it's not very big I bought as I have a family you can get one portion of chips in per person which is very annoying. Not worth it if you have a family

Looks good in my kitchen, works well, very happy with it.

Cos it was too small I must have ordered the wrong one sorry about it still waiting for the refund thanks

Sehr leichtes Gerät, wirkt billig verarbeitet.Zur Funktion kann ich nichts sagen, da das Stromkabel mit einem "exotischen", sehr klobigem Stecker versehen ist (vermutlich für US oder UK ?), Betrieb hier in Deutschland, dort wurde es angeboten, daher nicht möglich (Adapter liegt auch nicht bei). Die spärliche Anleitung ist fremdsprachig und geht auf den Anschluss auch nicht näher ein (der dort abgebildete Stecker könnte jedoch der Richtige sein). Nach den vielen guten Bewertungen hier hatte ich etwas anderes erwartet. Sehr enttäuschend.
