600W Mini Deep Fat Chip Fryer | Ideal for One | Coopers of Stortford

The product is fantastic, can't fault it. It's so small but it works! I can cook 2 sausages at once, a handful of chips at once and 2 hash browns at once. It's definitely worth it if you live alone, like myself, or if you have a small kitchen, like myself. It takes up the same amount of room as a 2 slice toaster (only round not oblong). Highly recommend! The company, however, is another story. Firstly, I ordered this and a couple days later a "fat free microwaveable rack" arrived, I tried not to take it personally (that they sent me fat free instead of fat fryer). I called and told them but she acted like it was my fault and that I must have ordered the fat free thing. I sent her a copy of my receipt and she apologised, sent out my actual product and arranged to collect the fat free thing. It was never collected though. It was arranged twice and nobody came. I was in the middle of moving at the time, which they knew, so I didn't have time for waiting in my Mums house all day. If you order this product, which I do highly recommend by the way, then make sure you have a copy of your order number and payment details.

Small deep fat fryer not for the large portions. Ideal if you're happy with a small potato chipped and fried for the he one person. Doesn't take up much storage space and quick to heat up and cook freshly chopped chips

I use this for finishing chips. After an initial first cook in sunflower oil, I wanted a unit for doing the second cook with beef dripping. Whilst it's not advised to use beef dripping, as long as you heat it in the microwave, remove it from the unit after use, before it cools you'll be fine. That said, sunflower oil is more appropriate for most stuff and easier to work with, so that's perfect for the larger unit. This works really well, with the exception that I'd say it's no way safe around kids, I mean not even in the safe house, it's just not stable enough, it's essentially not much bigger than an extra large coffee mug and a bit less stable. For a single adult, or two, it's great. The unit does the temperature it says it can, which might sound obvious, but the larger unit I bought doesn't achieve this, being some 30 oC low. This unit will do about a potato of chips (which is fine as I can just do something else whilst this is doing a second batch, because I'm using it dedicated. I'd say for it's size, don't get any ideas about doing anything else, also because it's a tall cylinder with less surface area, stuff like nuggets isn't a great idea. This unit is really nice as a compliment to a bigger fryer.

Brilliant for one person. It's not a big portion of chips on one cooking but you can always cook two. Takes about half a liter of oil. I used corn oil with no bubbling or overflow even though I put in enough oil to just below the high mark. I also used frozen hips. If you look on frozen chip packet directions, they tell you whether they're suitable for a chip fryer. I used frozen Steak Cut Chips and they came out delicious. Takes 12-15 mins for frozen chips suitable for a chip fryer. I followed the advice of a previous reviewer who said to lower the basket slowly. I'll add to that by saying to put your chips in the basket ready while you wait for the oil to heat up and pack it with the chips that are not too long otherwise you don't get many in there. I pretty much had it packed close to the top. Recommend this small machine for one.

We were really excited when we received this because the size was exactly what we wanted, impressively small. But 10 fries later it stopped working mid fry. Perhaps we were unlucky but it suggests to us that this is perhaps not a reliable product. Shame.

I bought this for my mother who is in her late 80's and she loves it. It is capable of cooking oven chips in 5 mins when up to temp (which usually takes between 5 and 10 mins) and the basket is big enough for one decent sized portion. There are one or two safety related issues that stop me giving it more than 3 stars however. If you follow the manufacturers instructions and fill the oil to the internal Max line then a basket full of frozen chips or scampi etc will cause the oil to bubble up over the rim of the device and because the lid has no catch to keep it shut you may find boiling oil spilling over your counter. If you are cooking full baskets of frozen chips etc. then filling the oil to the Min level works fine. The second issue is that being such a lightweight device it can be knocked over easily and this is not helped by the small slippy feet it is mounted on. Make sure you place it in a safe position before you start. It's easy to clean and it only uses 0.5L of oil. On the whole for the price its a useful bit of kit. So far it's been used to cook, Chips, Onion Rings, Fish (battered and breaded), Bacon, Chicken (nuggets and floured) and Scampi.

1 portion huh maybe for 4 year old. Used it once. Filled oil to line put chips in basket put in chip pan and it over flowed. Once it cooled down it went straight into bin. Don't think this is safe for anyone to use.

Perfect for caravans! Bought as a present for neighbour. Had looked EVERYWHERE for a really teensy, tiny little deep fat fryer to replace hers which had broken (not this brand, I hasten to add). It's really small, maybe 7 or 8 inches wide, and this is exactly what was required. Good quality brand, as well. Lovely, well-made item and worth the price. The only place I could find such an item was Amazon, so thanks for that.
