Tefal Profry Oleoclean FR700915 Deep Fat Fryer If the professional quality results weren't enough the Tefal Profry Oleoclean also has an slick system for handling the oil. Let's face it, oil maintenance is a chore most deep fat fryer owners could do without. Tefal's patented oil filtration and draining system attempts to remedy this by making the whole process as care-free and automated as possible. This is achieved by employing a large oil storage container that sits directly below the main frying chamber. Turning a control on the front of the machine allows the oil to drain into the container. A mesh filter in the bottom of the bowl prevents crumbs and other food particles from contaminating the now clean oil. It works beautifully most of the time, but occasionally the drain value fails to seal properly. This results in oil going all over the place the next time the fryer is used. Tefal, to their credit, mention this possibility in the instruction manual but many an owner has fallen foul of this design oversight. We recommend removing the oil storage compartment and then placing the fryer in the sink. Add a small amount of cooking oil to the bowl and check there are no leaks. If everything is working return the fryer to the work area, replace the storage compartment and you're ready to go. In the looks department the Profry Olecoclean has sleek professional styling, with stainless steel case and contrasting black plastic handles. It has a washable filter in the lid which limits odour problems, and the whole thing can be easily taken apart. All non-electrical parts are dishwasher safe. Pros:
Cons:
The Tefal ProFry Oleoclean Fryer is not for everyone. But if you're serious about deep fried foods and can live with a few design shortcomings this fryer could be just what you're looking for.
