This sleek professional style fryer from trend-setting De Longhi, has many attractive features. The small bits and pieces of food that fall to the bottom won't burn, ruin your cooking oil, and stink up your kitchen, thanks to the "cool zone" under the heating element. Having the heating element right in the frying chamber results in even frying temperature and faster frying (which actually makes fried food healthier as less oil is absorbed). This unit has removable parts for easy cleaining and a stay cool handle on the frying basket.
