T-fal Family Pro Fryer

As a family, we really don’t do a whole lot of deep frying, but there is one special thing that my husband and boys absolutely love, and that is cut up potatoes that are fried and served with a sauce that I make for them.  I currently own a deep fryer that has proven to be more of a hassle to use, so I tend not to use it.

The deep fryer that I have, has what I think is a standard safety feature on most fryers now, and that is the magnetic cord attachment.   I was getting so frustrated with the one that we own because the hold on the magnetic cord was so poor, that it would just detach in the middle of cooking and I would come back to uncooked potatoes swimming in oil.  The other feature that my deep fryer has, that is beyond frustrating, is the fact that the lid is not removable and neither is the bowl that holds the oil.   This doesn’t make for easy clean ups, when you are trying to change the oil, and wash it with soap and water.   Its like doing acrobats just to avoid getting water where you shouldn’t.

I had pretty much given up on frying anything, when I was given the opportunity  to review the Family Pro Fryer from T-fal.  I absolutely love this fryer for it’s ease of use, and the fact that it is easy to clean!  The bowl that holds the oil can be put directly into the dishwasher, the filter is washable, and the lid can be washed.  The magnetic safety cord actually stays put, so I know that my food is actually cooking.  Everything about this fryer makes using it a breeze.  You can see here for yourself!
