Manufacturers' advice varies from five to 25 uses, and it will depend on what you're cooking in your fryer. But it should definitely be changed regularly – especially if you're cooking food covered in breadcrumbs. Always follow the advice given in the instruction booklet. We tested how long the deep-fat fryers took to get to 170°C as this is a normal temperature used for cooking from frozen. These alternative fryers use only a small amount of oil – about one tablespoon. Instead of submerging the food in oil, they lightly coat it before circulating hot air around the fryer. Deep-fat fryers with non-removable bowls will have to be cleaned at the sink with soapy water. Always refer to the instruction manuals for guidance, and ensure the cable and plug are kept well away from the sink.Air fryers use a small amount of oil, and hot air, to cook food. They first appeared around 10 years ago, with the launch of the Tefal Actifry, and are a popular alternative to deep-fat fryers. Sooner or later, the used cooking oil will need to be removed so your deep-fat fryer can be cleaned. We found that in most cases it wasn't too hard to remove the oil tanks and pour the oil into a disposable container. However: We got through many bags of chips testing the most popular deep-fat fryers sold at Lakeland, John Lewis, Argos, Currys and more. The deep-fat fryer brands we've tested include Tefal, Russell Hobbs and Tower. The easiest-to-use deep-fat fryers had clearly labelled controls, which were well-placed and moved smoothly.
