Breville VDF020 Double Deep Fat Fryer

Breville VDF020 Double Basket Stainless Steel Deep Fat Fryer
The Breville VDF020 double deep fat fryer incorporates two independent frying chambers, complete with separate heating elements and temperature controls, in a stylish brushed stainless steel body. Each oil chamber has a generous 3 litre capacity and can handle up to 1.2kg of food.

This fryer is ideal for anyone that needs to fry different foods at the same time, like fish and chicken. Separate frying bowls prevent flavour 'cross-contamination'. Your chicken doesn't end up tasting of fish and vise versa. This is especially important when trying to cook a mix of cuisines like Indian and Chinese. Keeping your onion bhajis, samosas, sweet and sour pork balls and Japanese tempura apart ensures great tasting results.

Each oil chamber has a capacity of 3 litres and can cook 1.2kg of food. This is a good ratio of oil to food and should help maintain correct oil temperature to prevent food from becoming oil soaked (a common problem in home fryers).

The VDF020 is attractively styled in brushed stainless steel with side handles for easy placement and non slip rubber feet (the stainless steel sides become hot when in use, so keep this fryer out of reach of children). The rear heating elements detach and have cord storage compartments built in. For easy clean up the twin enamel frying bowls lift out of the housing and everything except the heating units can be placed in the dishwasher.

A few points to note are that the fry basket handles do not fold, making storage less than ideal, and the lids do not come with viewing windows or odour filters. Make sure you have sufficient ventilation.

The twin variable temperature controls can heat to 190°C and there are clear indicator lights to tell you when the oil is at the correct temperature. There is no timer function.

Pros:
  • Twin 3L oil capacity
  • Removable enamel bowls
  • Variable temperature controls to 190°C
  • Stainless steel case
  • Inexpensive

Cons:
  • Basket handles do not fold
  • No viewing window in lids
  • No timers
  • No odour filters

For a large family get together, or small food service operations the Breville VDF020 double deel fat fryer provides a high-performance solution that will make light work of complex deep frying needs and at a very competitive price.
