strong handle, fast and holds alot of food
quite alot of money for a glorified hob top chip pan

the filter is permanent and I think it's built into the lid and is just washed along with the rest of it. but i have never checked this to be 100% cert, it's well hidden that's for sure. next to nothing to criticise about it.

Room to cook lots of chips.
Zero.

With a large family our chip pan gets lots of use, the problem was our chip pan never had enough capacity to cook chips for four kids and two adults. Sick of having to cook two batches of chip I discussed it with my husband and we decided to buy a deep fat fryer for the first time. We had a good look round and weighed up the pros and cons of many machines. The first consideration was obviously size, those with the largest capacity were either a cylinder white plastic design or stainless steel box shaped design you would find in a takeaway establishment. I preferred the looks of the stainless steel design, Tefal did a range of these and with an oil capacity of four litres and food capacity of over one kg it fit our needs. We didn't want to pay over sixty pounds so it does lack some safety features and contains no coolwall. Apart from this the filter works well, the handle is sturdy, the viewing window useful and has reliably cooked our chips and occasionally fish for the last few months. It's cut down my cooking time by twenty minutes or more, so it was definitely worth the expense.
