Breville DF28 Deep Fat Fryer

Breville DF28 Deep Fat Fryer
The Breville DF28 is a straightforward and simple to operate deep fat fryer targeted towards working couples and small families.

Operation consists of a variable temperature control and digital timer. The mechanical temperature dial means you can set a precise temperature for perfect golden brown chips, but the timer display is so small you may need a magnifying glass to read it.

The basket can be raised and lowered with the lid closed - a great safety feature if you have small children.

The rated oil capacity is 2 litres but filling the oil chamber to the minimum, as indicated by the line on the inside wall, produced the best results and helped prevent spills. The lid has a built-in viewing window, but as with most fryers it tends to fog up as soon as you put the food in.

It's not dishwasher safe but the lid is detachable and has a charcoal filter which, while effective, will need to be changed periodically.

The outside case is a combination of cool white and brushed steel and the smooth rounded contours and compact dimensions make it an easy fit for most home kitchens. It has a rated food capacity of 1kg which should be adequate for the typical midweek meal.

Pros:
  • Rise and lower basket with lid closed
  • Digital timer
  • Variable temperature control
  • Charcoal odour filter
  • Economical 2L capacity
  • Viewing window

Cons:
  • Not dishwasher safe
  • Miniscule timer display

The Breville DF28 is stylishly in vogue, doesn't take up a lot of space and is economical to use. For anyone that needs quick fry convenience it's a good choice.
