This is our third DeLonghi Roto-fryer, (an age-related, the other accidentally been sent into early retirement). We have our new now four weeks, and I am still convinced of the rotating basket. The food to be fried are moved by the hot oil, and have, to my mind, less time to soak with oil or grease. Only for fresh pasta, the Roto system is not recommended, they may need a permanent full bath to quickly gros to be. The Frittiermenge is with max. 1000gr. but indicated, recommended is a filling with max. 500 gr. The amounts of fried food law differs greatly, but is very well listed in the instructions. In order to achieve a good result it is advisable to keep to the quantities and prefer two instead of starting a run. We use in our fryer good sunflower oil, which is regularly filtered and ever renewed after use by 6 8 passes. Due to the low quantity filled the Cost of which is clearly yes. Who wants to have a good frying result, must not skimp on the oil or fat quality and should regularly renew this also. The odor of the fryer is not very strong thanks to the carbon filter. I've used a thin grease filter in front of the carbon filter to catch splashed grease. The filters are very easy to remove. Replacement filters can relate favorable. The one negative I missing seal in the cover. A seal has retained in previous versions rising steam and condensate, the vapor was bound to leak through the carbon filter upwards. In the current fryer it happens especially in frozen products that the vapor easily escapes to the sides and runs down the condensation on the sides of the device. Although it is not much running down the sides, but you should mention it anyway. The renewal of the oil and clean the device is fairly straightforward. The lid is removed at the back, with slight pressure on the guides upwards. The cooled oil then drain the oil drain hose in a bottle, a very good solution. Oil residues can well absorb with absorbent paper and then clean with very little detergent and water to the interior. Rinsed thoroughly with water and the interior shines in new splendor. Finally, a listing on positive and negative aspects. Positives: - Excellent price / performance ratio - Required oil or grease amount lower than other comparable models - Rapid heating - Good and fairly precise temperature control - Low odor thanks to carbon filter - Low heating of the housing - Inspection window - Cable Depot on the back - Drain hose for oil - Very robust and well-to-clean interior Negatives: - No more gasket in the lid like on previous models - Handle and lead in the cage guide ring could better be processed and precisely fitting - Very strong lid hinges, lid open when not simply unlock it with your hand to hold something.
