Best Deep Fryers in the UK

If you ask us what company produces the most reliable and feature-rich deep fryers, we will undoubtedly answer “Tefal”. This brand is a real beast on the market of kitchen appliances with many years of successful experience. So, we are confident in the quality of the Tefal FZ710840 ActiFry.

It’s an extremely versatile air fryer allowing you to cook everything from chips and chicken breasts to sweet treats like doughnuts. And the feature that makes it particularly unique is the Dual Motion technology. The ActiFry is the only air fryer that is designed with a stirring paddle that continuously stirs ingredients. Plus, the automatic stirring paddle is designed not only to bring you hands-free cooking but also to evenly cook everything from curries to stir fries. It circulates the hot air inside the cooking chamber for perfectly even results. And the best part is that the cooking is done with little or no oil at all - many frozen products already contain it.

Reasonably priced, the VonShef deep fryer has quite a lot to offer.

First things first, it has a durable construction. Its sleek housing is made of high-grade stainless steel and the inner pan features a non-stick coating, which facilitates its cleaning. On top of the fryer, there's a large viewing window through which you can check on the cooking process without a need to open the lid and expose yourself to oil splashes.

Secondly, the fryer is compact in size and requires little space on a countertop. This makes it a sound choice for tiny kitchens. Obviously, smaller size means smaller capacity. The fryer offers 1.5 L which is enough for a couple (max three people).

Finally, with only one large knob on the front, this deep fryer is very easy to use. By rotating the knob, you can choose the desired temperature setting in the range from 0 to 190 degrees C. The unit features handy illustrations above the knob that show you how much temp/time is needed for different ingredients.

Wrapping things up, we could definitely recommend this sleek-looking fryer for small families and small kitchens. It’s compact, straightforward, quick, and easy to clean, so you get everything you'd need in a deep fryer.

If you regularly use different kitchen appliances, you probably know that the materials used for their production are very important. Basically, the service life and operating efficiency primarily depend on the materials used. And if you need an ultra-reliable kitchen appliance, take a closer look at the Quest deep fat fryer.

Although it costs a fraction of other big names, it looks nothing like flimsy cheap appliances. The thing is that it’s manufactured from robust stainless steel. Therefore, the cooker is highly resistant to external corrosion and extremely high temperatures, which makes it ideal for everyday frying purposes. An inner basket is also made of durable steel material. Additionally, it has a non-stick coating for fuss-free cleaning.

A removable oil container deserves the particular attention. It’s fitted with an easy-to-hold cool touch handles that can be also removed after use and cleaned. To simplify maintenance even more, the manufacturer has designed the fryer with Cool Zone technology. This handy feature ensures that all the pieces that might fall out of the basket during cooking won't get burned and contaminate the oil. This way, you won’t need to change oil that frequently. So, if you need an economical and reliable appliance to treat yourself and your guests to delicious home-cooked chips, the Quest fryer is a sensible choice.

Quite many devices designed for stir-fry cooking are not very easy to clean up afterwards. So, when choosing a deep fryer, always consider how easy it is to maintain. 

Designed with your comfort in mind, the Tower T17002 home deep fryer offers an easy maintenance and a hassle-free cleanup. The model is fully dismantled, meaning you can clean each of its parts separately.

To further simplify the cleaning, the manufacturer has designed a frying basket with a non-stick coating that prevents food debris from burning. But the area where the Tower T17002 particularly shines is odour blocking. It is equipped with a carbon odour filter that neutralizes unpleasant cooking smells and prevents them from entering your kitchen. Hence, this fryer offers a much less intrusive way to cook your food.

As for operation, this deep fat fryer boasts a large control panel with a mechanical timer and an adjustable thermostat. This very model has a 3.0-litre capacity, meaning there’s ample of cooking space, even if you’re going to treat your big family to crispy fries, shrimps, onion rings, fish or sweets. However, if you really need to feed the crowd, you can get an extra-large 6-litre model. A truly excellent fryer for those who often host parties!

If you have a small family or live alone, we see no reason to spend the extra money and extra countertop space on bulky kitchen appliances. Sounds like you? Then this compact deep fryer might be right up your alley. Russel Hobbs, a well-known British manufacturer of household appliances, created this little deep fryer specifically to satisfy the needs of single users. Yes, it’s small and, yes, it’s mighty!

The device has a 0.9-litre oil capacity that is enough to deep fry up to 350 grammes of food per one go. Though this capacity might seem small to fry a whole chicken, but for cooking chips, chicken sticks, nuggets, onion rings, small corndogs, and lots of other treats, it’s just perfect. Also, it’s worth mentioning that despite its small capacity, this model offers a wide range of operating temperatures, allowing you to experiment with a variety of deep-fried recipes (it’s sufficiently powerful to deep fry some frozen foods).

All the things taken into account, we couldn’t highly recommend this Russel Hobbs small cooker for couples or those individuals who live alone and need a compact deep fryer for fast and delicious results.
