This fryer is very well designed. I was afraid that the fries are soft and not at all! They are crispy, light and golden. Frozen chips work very well. It is true that the cooking time is longer than usual for a fryer but the fries are so good. I personally take matches fries to reduce the cooking time. The fryer is accompanied by a booklet with many other diet recipes but I have not tested them. I fully satisfaiste my fiance and more!
