Best Deep Fryers In 2022

It’s not hard to see why the F8000 is one of T-Fal’s best sellers as it is a great all-around deep fat fryer that will supply delicious fries and can also step it up for larger meals. It is also one of the easiest home fryers to clean, which is always a plus point in our book!

But before we get to that, let’s look at how well it performs. First up, it is a good size for everyday use; with an oil capacity of up to 3.5 liters, it can take up to 2.65 pounds of food in one fry. And while the fry basket is perhaps a little shallower than some other fryers, it is perfectly usable, and it means there’s enough space for its brilliant oil filtration system.

The CDF-200 deep fryer from Cuisinart has professional cooker ambitions and the looks to match but is certainly not high end when it comes to the price.

There is something really solid-looking about this deep fat fryer, which has the Cuisinart quality stamped all over it. It has a good 4-quart capacity which means you can cook up to 2.3 pounds of food in one fry and the large mesh basket is easy to maneuver and has a cool-touch handle that is retractable for easy storing.  It is also quick to heat up, so perfect if you really like your fried food to be fast. And it maintains its temperature so you can avoid that unappetizing oily slick on any follow-up food frying. Add in a built-in timer and adjustable thermostat, a removable enamel-coated oil container, and other dishwasher-safe removable parts and you have a rather good chip fryer at a rather tasty price.

For a ‘does what it says on the tin’ no-nonsense oil fryer, why not take a look at the GranPappy with its old-school bucket design. There’s a retro vibe to this electric fryer which has been modeled on the cast iron pots of yonder year. But electric. And with the ability to heal up oil and cook at crispily fried temperatures. Made from heavy-duty cast aluminum with a non-stick finish and skid-resistant feet it would make an interesting addition to any kitchen and it does fry your food pretty fast.

The GranPappy’s beauty is in its simplicity, not that many parts and they are all nice and easy to get at and clean. It doesn’t actually have an internal basket, so you pour the oil straight in and add your food, then use the supplied fry scoop to catch your fried items and fish them out. But it works and the food is fried to a good standard. The main drawback is that the outer of the GranPappy can get rather hot, so watch your fingers and keep little ‘uns away. Oh, and there is no temperature control but for the tasty price, it is a good basic fryer. Find more great products like this by checking out our guide to the best panini presses.

The Hamilton Beach deep fryer ramps on some really good safety features, making it a great home food fryer for the family, especially if there are younger children eager for their fries. A cool-looking black and a nice, solid size, this deep fat fryer features cool-touch sides to keep hands safe if they accidentally touch the unit when it is fired up and frying. Plus, there is also a break-away cord that quick releases to prevent the fryer from tipping over if the cord gets pulled or snagged. And the lid has a clear viewing window, so you can check on your food without running the risk of a hot oil splash.

So far, so safe but how well does the Hamilton Beach fry? It has a workable capacity of eight cups of oil, which equates to a family-sized six cups of French fries. With its immersed heating element, you get a fast oil heat up and you can adjust the temperature to suit the food. And finally, it is nice and easy to clean, with removable parts and a dishwasher safe, non-stick pot.  A good price for a quality deep fryer.

It has an adjustable thermostat and an extra-large wire basket for quick and effective cooking.

What we really like about the Easy Clean is it does what its name promises, thanks to its cool zone system, which enables food particles to drop into a cooler area of the container, keeping your cooking oil cleaner for longer with less odor. The Easy Clean also has a simple to use the draining system to siphon away leftover oil for disposal. The unit also has removable parts which are all dishwasher safe. While it is at the top end of our best deep fryer review, the combination of its design, build and large batch quality frying makes it our review’s Premium Pick.

This T-fal Deep Fryer is one of the most popular on Amazon. It combines classic deep frying technology with a few modern upgrades to make it safer and easier to use. The most notable upgrade is the large anti-fog viewing window. Instead of an open deep fryer that can spit out hot oil, this one can be closed and still allows you to see the progress. This makes the process much safer and you can still get perfect consistent results. 

Another useful feature is the unique active filtration system that reduces odors by up to 74%. If you don’t want your kitchen to smell like a cheap take-out restaurant, you’ll absolutely love this fryer. In terms of controls, it has a variable temperature dial and an adjustable timer.
