Waring DF200 Deep Fryer

Pros: Large size, removable reservoir, safety features, basket, dishwasher safe parts

Cons: Short cord (but 1800 watts!), expensive (get out those LNT/BB&B coupons!)

The Bottom Line: This is an easy to clean, high quality, large size deep fryer. It is a wonderful appliance and I have no complaints.

Review: I’m not big on fried foods, but when I do make something, there’s nothing like a nice deep fryer. After literally throwing out our old, disgusting Rival deep fryer, we did some research before investing in something new. The ...

Review: My Previous on the counter deep fryer experience. I had bought a Philips Deluxe Deep Fryer before this one. Actually I had two because one died in less than a year. I replaced it with an identical one, and it bit the dust in less time than that. I ...

Pros: Fantastic heating element. Intelligent design features.

Cons: Larger size than competition. 1800 watt element may be too much for some circuit breakers.

The Bottom Line: A great fryer for the home kitchen, probably one of the best choices short of a professional model.

Review: I bought this fryer after having tried a Euro Pro fryer and returning it. See my review of that unit h ere. Construction and design: The Waring Pro is a very well constructed unit. The controls feel solid and the ...

Pros: Quick and easy to use & clean, great style/design, break-away safety cord, stay-cool exterior sides

Cons: Vents near panel/lid handle, permanent filter, digital display would be great

The Bottom Line: All-in-all, this product is very attractive, easy to clean, fries food to perfection and I don't think you could find anything better for the price.

Review: This is our first fryer and it's been worth the money! We've only had it a short time but we've been frying like crazy! :) I never knew it would be so quick & easy and that the food would turn out so well! The food has been crispy and not greasy! ...

Pros: Temperature recovery, removable oil well, timer, basket handle folds for storage

Cons: Under-body of the unit has edges that are a little sharp.

Review: I was a little apprehensive to purchase this at first, due to the price $129 (at Williams Sonoma). After reading the reviews, however I decided to buy. I gave it a real workout when I got it home, making 120 Crab Rangoon, and 200 chicken wings in ...

Pros: Fast warm up and recovery. Vented top is great. User friendly and no mess.

Cons: An amateur cook won't appreciate it.

Review: This is as good as it gets without going to a commercial unit that costs at least twice as much and requires 220 volts and a $4,000 hood. And it has better features. The temperatures are true if you let it warm for at least 20 minutes and add 5 degrees ...

Pros: immersible oil heater, bulb-capillary thermostat, removable oil tank

Cons: timer shut off buzzer non-functional - offers weak clunking noise, awkward basket control

The Bottom Line: Good buy and best of the available home deep fryers.

Review: I believe that if one wants to eat fried foods, the deep fryer offers a healthier choice because much less oil is absorbed into the food than with conventional frying. But, the workings of the deep fryer are important to assure that the cooking ...

Pros: Possibly good for a few very simple items, like appetizers.

Cons: Oil cools down immediately and recovery rate is slow so the food absorbs oil.

Review: The Waring Pro is promoted as a professional deep fryer capable of handling more than 3 pounds. This is laughable! Three pounds of what? This fryer is a total light weight capable of frying only the most delicate of food items such as a few shrimp, ...
