Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Fryer Buying Guide
Fryers use very hot oil to cook food quickly and thoroughly - the food is quickly cooked by the hot oil, often resulting in a crispy outside, but a tender inside. Most people connect home fryers with chips - allowing you to easily recreate the crispy, fluffy chips found in restaurants and cafes. However they can be used for many other different types of food, including fish, vegetables, samosas or chicken. Due to the high temperatures involved in the cooking procedure, modern fryers have significant safety features to minimise the chance of accidents, and contain pre-set modes for the most commonly-cooked foods.
Capacity
All our fryers have a food capacity, measured in kilograms. The larger the capacity, the more food you can cook in one go - this may be especially useful for large families. However larger fryers also have a significantly larger footprint, and so will take up more counter space in your kitchen.
Power Levels
All of our fryers are given a power level, rated in watts. The higher the wattage, the more power the fryer has. This translates to faster and more efficiently cooked food, but also to higher electricity bills. Fryers tend to be quite power hungry, so it may be prudent not to automatically buy the device with the highest power - a good mid-point between power and cost-efficiency is important.
Given that even the healthiest fryer produces a lot of grease and mess, it is a good idea to clean the fryer after every use. Therefore it may be helpful to check that your chosen model is marked as easy-to-clean, meaning that it has been designed for stress-free cleaning. Some models even have parts that are safe to put in the dishwasher, making them extremely easy to clean and take care of.
Low Fat & Air Frying
While traditionally deep fat frying has been seen as an immensely unhealthy form of cooking, there are several healthier options available. Low fat fryers are specially designed to use less oil than standard fryers, meaning the resulting food has a lower calorie count, and is therefore healthier. Under these systems a single teaspoon of oil will suffice for an entire portion of chips, so the calorie count can be a mere fraction of what it would be using a traditional method.
A growing section of the healthy frying market is so-called ‘air’ fryers - a range of cookers that use superheated air to fry the food instead of oil. Because they use very little or no oil (some models use a very small amount of oil to 'kick start' the air heating) the resulting food is far lower in calories and fat. Indeed, tests have shown that with a 300g portion of chips, airfrying reduced the calories from 717 to 576! Also, because they don’t use oil you don’t have to worry about disposing of the used frying oil - which makes them far more ecologically friendly as well.
Generally speaking these low-fat and air fryers are more expensive than their traditional counterparts. However, given how much lower in both calories and fat the resulting food is, the health benefits may far outweigh the extra expenditure.

Biggest Fryer Retailers
The biggest fryer retailer by number of products currently for sale is eBay. We found 106 current fryer offers from eBay. The second biggest retailer is Amazon UK with 67 offers. That means eBay is much bigger than Amazon UK when it comes to fryers. Currys is the third biggest retailer with 23 current offers.
When Are Most New Fryers Released?
April to June is the most common period for new fryers to be released in. For the latest fryer technology you may want to consider waiting until April 2021. Also the price of the current fryers may drop off just before the latest models are released in April. Five new fryers were released in June 2020 making it the biggest month that year for new fryer releases. April was the biggest month in 2019 for new fryers, with 10 new fryers released that month. In 2018 most new fryers were released in June, with 13 new fryers released that month.
How Fast Do Fryer Prices Drop After Release?
In the first 6 months after release, fryers drop in price by 9% on average.
That means a saving of £4 on a typical £52 new fryer if you wait 6 months before buying.
Powers
'Power' is the power level of the fryer, measured in watts.
Across the range of fryers, the powers range from 140W to 10,000W. The powers of the majority of fryers range from 1,400W to 1,700W. The fryer with the biggest power is the Bartscher SNACK IV, which is a 6,500W fryer and is on sale for £221.15. The fryer with the smallest power is the SEB Actifry 1kg, which is a 140W fryer and currently retails for £265.16.
Fryer Food Capacities
'Capacity' denotes how much food the fryer can hold at once, measured in kilograms.
Across the range of fryers, the fryer food capacities range from 0.3kg to 20kg. The fryer food capacities of most fryers range from 0.8kg to 1.2kg. The fryer with the biggest fryer food capacity is the Tower T14001, which is a 17kg fryer food capacity fryer and can be purchased for £44.99. The Nesco DF-12, which is available at £0.00, has the smallest fryer food capacity and is a 0.4kg fryer food capacity fryer.
