Fryers

There’s nothing more comforting than a warm bowl of crunchy fries while sitting on the couch. Now you can make them right in your own home – along with other delicious foods – with your very own fryer. Choose between a traditional-style deep fryer or more modern alternatives. Fryers have evolved quite a lot from the flimsy, oil-splattering contraptions of the past, so which is best for you? We’ve put together some quick tips for finding your fryer.

Finding the Right Fryer for You:

1. Prefer a more traditional fryer with a modern twist? Then a smart deep fryer might be ideal. It can produce restaurant-quality chips at just the push of a button, as well as adjust time and temperature to suit you.
2. Avoid fried food dripping in fat with an air fryer. They usually come with a front drawer or lid and require little to no oil, instead circulating hot air throughout the device to produce those deliciously crispy foods you know and love.
3. Some air fryers double as convection ovens. With a larger capacity and range of preset functions to choose from, they’re a perfect fit for busy families. You can bake a whole roast chicken or cook a pizza all in the same device!
4. Not sure what size fryer you need? Keep in mind basket size (measured in kilograms), which will determine how much food you can cook in one batch. If you’re cooking for two, opt for a smaller basket. If you’re cooking for the whole family, you might need a 2kg basket or larger. Those wanting something even bigger should look at a commercial twin fryer.
5. Love to cook but don't have a ton of space? A 0.5-2L air fryer is a great option for a smaller household or uni students looking for a quick, cheap feed.
6. How much bench space do you have available? If you want to be able to pack your air fryer away after using it, look for a model that’s shorter and more compact.
7. Can’t be bothered cooking after a long day at work or have leftovers in the fridge? Air fryers can also be great for reheating food!
8. Fryers can also be pretty easy to clean. Most models come with dishwasher-safe parts and can be wiped down if they have a non-stick coating. Get sizzling today!
