DeLonghi F18316S Deep Fat FryerIf the idea of throwing away large quantities of cooking oil every few frying sessions doesn't appeal to you, then consider the DeLonghi F18316S Roto Fryer. The has two benefits. First, the machine uses about half the volume of oil normally required for deep frying. This alone can result in some big savings over time. And secondly, the constant motion of the food into and out of the oil reduces 'cold' spots and keeps foods from absorbing excess oil, thus making for a more even fry. This technique works well and the results are comparable to standard deep fat fryers where the food is fully immersed. The only downside is you have to be careful in placing the food items in the basket initially, so as everything cooks evenly. The frugal use of oil is usually enough to convince most people of this fryer's credentials, but the F18316S has another trick up its sleeve that might impress you further. Ask anyone who has a deep fat fryer and they'll tell you the number one issue is changing and filtering the oil. It's a chore most could do without. To address this problem the F18316S comes with DeLonghi's 'Easy-Clean' system. Position the fryer on the edge of the sink and slide out the storage frame directly below the basket handle. Drop the supplied oil storage container into the frame and then place the filter securely on top. Behind the basket handle is a small access door that holds a drain tube. Remove the basket and open the door then flip out the tube. Pinch the drain tube between two fingers and carefully remove the cap. Position the drain tube above the filter and release. Keep and eye on things to make sure the filter does not become clogged while the oil drains. When all the oil has drained replace the cap, return the drain tube to its original position and close the access door. Attach the lid on the oil storage container and store in a cool dry place away from sunlight. For safety, the fry basket can be raised and lowered with the lid closed and the lid can be removed for easy cleaning. Pros:
