The Waring Pro DF55 Professional Deep Fryer is the little deep fryer that could! This mid-sized deep fryer has many features normally found on larger units and has a list price of $95 (though you can find it much cheaper here). Feature for Feature the DF55 is really like the little cousin of the Waring Pro DF250B from Waring Pro which is another excellent unit for those in need of greater food capacity. As it is though the DF55 can handle up to 1 2/7 pounds of food which is suitable for a small gathering of friends or small families. The 1500 watt heating element has the power to heat-up oil quickly to the temperature of your choosing via the deep fryer’s control panel which allows the user to adjust the heat up to 375 degrees. And you’ll know when the oil is ready thanks to the “ready” light indicator.
Clean up is easy thanks to dishwasher safe parts. Though having a drain would be nice, this smaller deep fryer from Waring pro doesn’t include one. The lack of an oil drain is fairly typical on this size of deep fryer so it’s not much to fret over.
Compared to the Cuisinart CDF-100 deep fryer, the side walls of the Waring Pro DF55 Professional Deep Fryer are nearly twice as high which results in much less oil splattering. This should be a consideration for anyone that may be choosing between the two fryers.
As always the goal is to find the best deep fryer for you and maybe the Waring Pro DF55 Professional Deep Fryer is that fryer. If not, there is a great article on this site about Choosing the Right Deep Fryer.
