Best small deep fryer
- Basket rotates, so fryer uses less oil
- Good safety features
- Five temperature settings
- Drainage system lets you filter and store oil
- Wet batter can adhere to basket
- No recipe book
March 2009. Reviewers concur that the DeLonghi D895UX Roto is the best small electric deep fryer. Unlike most standard deep fryers, the Roto has a rotating basket that is set at an angle, so it uses less oil. This fryer has a maximum temperature of 370 degrees Fahrenheit, which is hot enough to crisp and brown french fries (many competing fryers only go to 350 degrees). Reviewers love the Roto's integrated system for draining and storing used oil. Owners say that this deep fryer is sturdy and easy to use, but if you can't budget so much for a deep fryer, reviews indicate that the Presto 05411 GranPappy (*est. $50) is a good -- if basic -- alternative.
We read the best review of the DeLonghi D895UX Roto deep fryer in Fine Cooking magazine, where an editor uses it to fry hush puppies, chicken and eggrolls, among other foods. We also found a lot of owner reviews at Amazon.com, Cooking.com, Epinions.com and Buzzillions.com.

Susie Middleton of Fine Cooking magazine tests the DeLonghi D895UX Roto electric deep fryer and deems it a very good performer. Foods with a dry crust of breadcrumbs fried up beautifully, but wet-battered foods (such as onion rings) stuck to the fry basket and made a mess.
