Our verdict

A compact stainless deep fryer for small batches of fries, wings or donuts, with a breakaway magnetic cord. The oil volume is small, so it suits one or two people.

Overview

A wire mesh basket with a locking handle lowers into the stainless oil pot of this Salton fryer. The magnetic cord pulls away if tugged, and a temperature dial with ready lights sets and signals the heat.

For a small household it fries snacks without a large pot of oil, and the two-part filter system helps with odors. Adjustable temperature suits different foods. The limit is the small oil volume, which forces small batches.

Who it's for

Singles, couples and dorm cooks who fry occasionally and want little oil to handle. A family cooking big batches needs a larger fryer.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Breakaway magnetic cord
  • Locking basket handle
  • Adjustable temperature control
  • Stainless steel construction
Cons
  • Small oil volume
  • Wattage listed two ways
  • Basket size not listed
  • Temperature range not listed

Performance notes

The heating element warms the oil to the dial setting, and the ready light tells the user when to lower the basket. A small oil volume drops in temperature quickly when food goes in, so smaller batches fry better. The filter system handles vapor from the hot oil.
