As a last minute gift for the home I decided to get the Breville DF30 Fryer. The reason I decided to get a new fryer was quite simple; the old one is broken. Quite frankly it’s dangerous to use. The Breville DF30 Fryer seems like a better option because it won’t have to be moved every time I need it. At the moment we have a deep fat fryer that’s a bit too big, so it gets put away after use. The Breville DF30 Fryer is compact enough to be left in the same spot.

I’ve not actually got it out of the box yet, so can’t tell you too much about how good it is as a fryer. I’m hoping it will be better than the current one. We actually have to use a fork to get the basket out of the oil, the connector broke on the handle. Thinking back, I’ve found that this is usually the first part to go on all the deep fat fryers we’ve had.

The Breville DF30 Fryer has some pretty good specifications though, and I hope that it’s easy to use. Some of these specs are:

• 3.6 litre capacity
• 2kg food capacity
• 2000 watt
• new lid design with filter and viewing window
• removable stainless steel bowl
• thermal cut off
• variable temperature control
• cool zone technology
• totally disassembles for effortless cleaning
• power on and temperature indicators
• brushed stainless steel lid and body
• carrying handles
• cord storage

These are all reasons that I decided on the Breville DF30 Fryer. Looking forward to the first batch of chips from the Breville DF30 Fryer now.
