Kenwood DF520 Deep Fat Fryer

Kenwood DF520 Deep Fat Fryer
The Kenwood DF520 is a practical, no nonsense deep fat fryer for home use. It is simple to operate and produces excellent results with little effort.

When in use the sides are cool to the touch which is a great safety feature. It also has a built-in filter which does a good job of reducing odours so as your whole house doesn't end up smelling like a chip shop.

The controls are straightforward, with a variable temperature slider, electronic timer, plus power and ready lights. There is a viewing window in the lid but as with most fryers, it tends to steam up. You might find the frying basket to be relatively small compared to the overall size of the fryer.

It can be quickly and easily disassembled into just 4 parts - bowl, lid, basket and heating control. The bowl, lid and basket can all be put into the dishwasher. If only you kids were that easy to keep clean.

You should know that the DF520 is quite a large fryer and will need a good amount of space for both use and storage. If your kitchen is on the small side take a look at the smaller Kenwood DF380 Deep Fat Fryer.

The Kenwood DF520 is well designed, easy to operate and clean, and does a good job of deep frying just about anything you're likely to throw at it.
