If you are looking for a larger capacity home fryer, then the T-Fal FR7008002 Ultimate EZ Clean Pro-Fryer should top your list of deep fryers to consider. It boasts a 1700 watt heating element that is perfect for frying 2-2/3 pounds of food that the FR7008002 can handle at full capacity.
It has all of the standard features that you’d look for in a home deep fryer like an adjustable thermostat, ready light, and external basket handle. But one of the cooler things included is an integrated oil drain that filters the oil as it drains and stores the oil for future use. The lid also seals to prevent splashing while still allowing you to see the food through the large viewing window.
In-spite of the large capacity, I almost wish that the T-Fal FR7008002 Ultimate EZ Clean Pro-Fryer had an even larger oil capacity. It holds about 14 cups of oil, while a US gallon is about 16 cups. It just would have been nice to be able to buy a gallon of oil and dump the whole thing in without worrying about overflows. This is a minor inconvenience though in an otherwise great deepfryer.
Having all of the parts be dishwasher safe, apart from the heating element, is a nice bonus. Some lower end units have very strict cleaning instructions and being able to clean the unit in the dishwasher is a real time saver.
The T-Fal FR7008002 could be the best choice for you if you’ve got a large family to cook for, with it’s ample capacity and easy cleanup. At the very least this unit should be near the top of your list of considerations in deep fryers.
