Best Deep Fryers - Top 5 in Australia | Better Homes and Gardens

Let's be honest, deep fried food isn't something you want to be consuming on a regular basis. The act of frying might make your food super tasty but all that fat is best kept for treat time.

Saying that, if you're cooking chips or Southern fried chicken you'll get a much better outcome in a deep fryer than on your stove top in a pan. Immersing the food in oil is one thing but deep fat fryers keep the temperature steady which helps your food cook more evenly.

The result: crispy on the outside, tender in the middle.

Deep frying is a simple way to cook but just be sure to have some metal tongs handy and keep some kitchen paper close by to absorb some of the excess grease.

Here are some of the best home deep fryers on the market.
