Actually yes, I wanted to never have a deep fryer. Too unhealthy, I thought at least. This argument is completely eliminated with the Tefal. Frozen products are generally prepared without fat and even in fresh foods is enough a small amount, which is however more than a tablespoon. You must use namely mitgelierte measure and this holds good 1.5 tablespoons of oil. But when you consider how the "normal" fryers work, that's more than a little. My conclusion: A great, sophisticated device. The fact prepared fries, chicken wings, potato croquettes, potato wedges, fish fingers and squid have tasted to me very well and have been visually cooked absolutely perfectly.
