Aigostar 6L Double Deep Fat Fryer, Stainless Steel Electric Fryer

Well, I haven't owned a deep fat fryer in years and have bought oven chips, being the healthier option. However, we recently made some homemade chicken kievs which needed a brief deep fry to seal them and we ended up just using a saucepan filled with oil. This prompted us to purchase a proper deep fryer and oh my god, I so wish we'd got one sooner. All those soggy frozen chips and uncrisp scampi are a thing of the past! We used the fryer for the first time last night, taking advice from others about which type of potatoe to use and how best to cook them for that fresh chippy result. Well, we used maris piper, and once they were chipped, boiled them slightly to soften and then left them out on a rack to cool. We cooked them first for a few minutes at 130 degrees until they were turning slightly golden, took them out, whacked the temp up to 190 and then put them back in. The result was perfect and they were so delicious! Then, in went the scampi while we drained the chips on some kitchen towel and they cooked up beautifully. A simple, quick Friday evening meal (with peas and tartare of course) but so yummy we can't wait to use it again. By the way, we used rapeseed oil as we use this for a lot of frying and the chips were golden. Yum, yum, yum!!!!!! This is a great fryer, it doesn't take up too much room on the kitchen surface and looks very sleek and professional. You do have to make sure you fix the handle on in the correct way (it clips INSIDE the basket, not the outside) and it's super easy to clean. We are thrilled for the price. Thank you!

Durable and works perfectly well for the price.

This is a good fryer, acurate temperature only problem is the handle, as it often falls off when you shake the basket

A nice double fryer with each side working independently so no need to heat up both sides if you only need to use one. Easy to assemble and easy to dismantle for cleaning. I've seen several reviews of other similar type of fryers including well known brands where buyers complain the baskets don't sit straight and tend to lean to one side in the tank. That's not the case with this fryer as both sides do sit straight. I've also seen complaints that the basket handles are loose and pose a danger when lifting the baskets out of the hot oil. There is no problem with that as all you need to do is pull the handle right back so it clips in to the retainer clip at the top of the basket which keeps it tight. I think some people don't realise they need to do that and just assume the handle stays loose. Overall it's a good piece of kit and I'm pleased with its performance.

Great fryer

Wife happy am uappy

Heats up fairly quick but struggles a bit to maintain the set temperature.

Easy to use, easy to clean but takes a few attempts to get really crispy fat chips, the whole machine is easy to put together, its like having your own chip shop fryer in your kitchen but need to sit near to a extracter fan and on a flat hob / surface that can take the heat.

Flimsy, and awful for storing as unless you take the basket out you cannot close so you have to store with handle sticking out. Also hard to take lid off when cooking as it doesn’t fit properly. Cooks everything fine, just not practical.

Top bis auf den Stecker der könnte ruhig aus Deutschland kommen aber mit Adapter gehts super vor allem kam man alles einzelne putzen perfekt
