Can I deep fry my own dinner?

While the kale-conscious might clap you rudely round the head and steer you towards an air fryer, Guru also knows that such devices are often hit-or-miss; they’ll hit your food with heat, but you’ll miss properly fried foods. Heart health be damned: sometimes you need a treat.

VonShef’s 1.5L deep fryer is functional and small enough that it doesn’t dominate your kitchen surfaces, though its limited capacity means it’s not supersuitable for a family. On the other hand, Magimix’s 11596 Pro 350 looks professional, has a three-loop heating system for good consistency, and drowns your food in a full 3L of oil.
