As per the title I need a new deep fat fryer. The current one has lost it's cooking power and the smell it produces is awful and lingers for a couple of days.

Criteria: Selection of temperature settings, sealed hood, excellent odour retention.

Other than that have no issues with make, colour, budget etc just that it should look OK in a family kitchen and be as smell free as possible.

Cheers in advance biggrin

I asked the same question a while back:

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?t=8...

Ended up getting the Delonghi roto fry one.

It's doesn't smell to much when cooking and looks fine on the worktop - quite big though.
Only problem I have is that the basket is either broken or a bad design - must get round to asking/complaining!
The basket doesn't lock into the handle properly so when lowered it doesn't sit properly in the fryer and so doesn't rotate.
Also it doesn't lock when tipping the food out just swings about - I'm sure it's not working correctly, they can't have designed it that way!
