The Best Deep Fryer - TFal Ultimate EZ Clean Review.

[@dennisthain3704]

I think what should be added, when I bought mine nothing was said about when the oil gets to a lower temperature it will drain I thought it would drain after use fast. I am very happy with mine I use it regular and always clean after use with no problem at all.

[@RoughriderUT]

Just bought the 3.5 l version of this and tried it out today, very nice. The thing that sold me was the oil storage that it has.

[@OctoberOhio]

Bet it's still not in your kitchen today honey. Sold it at a yard sale years ago....NOT WORTH THE EFFORT.

[@RoughriderUT]

​@@OctoberOhio Still have it and use it.

[@waynegranzin3824]

we bought one today and used it this evening. bought it solely on the merit of the internally filtered reservoir. here's my take: build quality is on par or better with the other brands we evaluated. the ONLY complaint i read online about it was that the filter clogs easily. and indeed, it took me having to stick something into the vat and brush the filter a bit for it to begin draining. and this was on the FIRST USE. (we cooked a couple dozen, home-made, vietnamese egg rolls. maybe they are more prone to leaving solids in the oil than other things?) it did drain after that. took about 5-7 minutes or so. but worked fine. no apparent leaks anywhere and the oil in the reservoir looked particulate-free. with this one feature not being as "automatic" as advertised. i have to wonder if simply buying a wide-mouth jug and a deep screen strainer wouldn't be just as easy (and faster) in the end? ultimately, i gave up on other features i would have liked, for this ONE feature. maybe it was a good trade. maybe not? but it cleans easily, and fried the food nicely. so overall, i don't regret the $79 purchase (wal-mart).

[@cartoonjellyjar1]

Thanks so much for your input. After seeing this video I changed my mind on getting the Aroma Smart Fry XL ADF-232 with a 3.8 liter capacity and two small and one large basket...and a digital control with programs for different food. A couple weeks ago there was an Amazon seller with a $43.95 price with an order total of $49 or higher. I'm now ditching the T-Fal idea and going back to buying the Aroma model. I'll do as you said......buying a wide-mouth jug and a deep screen strainer.

[@hamiltoncouple01]

Wait till your power cord melts away. Common problem.

[@polaris700efitwin]

Best review I've seen on these so far, I think T-Fal should pay You for this, You convinced me to go buy it this weekend :)

For Everyone having issues, try calling T-Fal and always keep receipt and box for few months in case..

[@_Daio_]

@@polaris700efitwin 2 Years on, did you have any issues, and is it still going?

[@polaris700efitwin]

@@_Daio_ works amazing..not one issue to date except wish they made the power cord a bit longer as I use it beside the stove plug etc ..filtration is auto even when it's hot..I usually put a wooden spatula on the back so it drains better that way most of the oil. This is hands down the best air Fryer and works spot on and runs hot when preheated.. not much more we can ask for..this is high-end product with tested functionality..

[@_Daio_]

@@polaris700efitwin Thanks for the reply. I did get one in the end, and I also found the power lead too short, but if it's a standard kettle lead, then I do have a longer one. I'll look next time I use it, but It's the best Fryer I've ever had.

Do you know if they sell separate drainage compartments? Sounds like an easy way to keep different oils separated.

What temperature do you fry a whole cut up chicken?

[@pollymars3776]

Do you or can you clean the plastic container that holds the oil? If so, can you do a video of you cleaning it?

[@Krusador42]

Does anyone know how to change the batteries for the timer? Do you have to loosen the screws on the back? It looks like you have to disassemble the whole device. If the batteries are low, the device will not work properly and it beeps and croaks all the time, even when it is disconnected. I don't understand why a device that can only work on AC power anyway needs batteries to operate.

[@chrishal2719]

Can you provide the part number of the power cord? I have this fryer but I lost the cord.

[@donaldjones7058]

Tell me sir how can I clean the filter ? Does it come apart inside or what? Thank you

[@cristymaguire9015]

Cristy from Kingston, On. My husband bought this deep fryer for the convenient reasons that you don't have to strain the oil into the strainer and easy to clean. I used it ones it was amazing but this time for the second time of using the temperature is not working properly and I am trying to drain the oil and it's not working. Now, can you please tell me what's wrong with it?

[@tymesho]

wattage? I read 1800 is best for recovery? thank you

[@hamiltoncouple01]

Watch out for power cord melting away at the plug. Power cords are seriously underrated for such high wattage. Common problem.

[@Skans-Gustav]

In Europe they don’t put that flimsy magnetic attachment on. The cord is properly fastened.

[@trueamerican9991]

I deep fry a lot and have messy goo at the bottom from the egg and flour mixture that I use. with this stop the drum from draining?

[@dank9288639]

yes

[@seanmurphyscipioafricanus]

Good review! Only recommend stereo sound.

[@bigboricua4573]

Does the machine comes in different sizes? Is the oil container made out of plastic or other material? Can you leave the oil container inserted when cooking? Or you have to take it out because its plastic and it might melt from the heat of the machine? Just asking before I buy it

[@voluntarism335]

It's a plastic yes you can leave the plastic in the machine while cooking nothing will happen to it. The oil filtration system simply waits until the oil cools down enough before it starts filtering because otherwise the oil would melt the plastic once you're done frying set the temp to 0 and turn off the machine then put it onto filter it will wait a few hours then filter once oil is sufficiently cooled then you can reuse the oil have a dozen to a dozen times but eventually you will need to dispose of the oil and replace it with new oil. There really isn't a better oil fryer on the market and I would not bother getting the smaller size

[@rickhodgkins6937]

If you don't mind me saying, it might be a good idea to clean the unit, that is grimy, that way both of them are clean. I know I would. I had a DeLonghi roto deep fryer, that which I hated, because while I liked that fact that the basket was dishwasher safe, that you only needed a third less oil, that the basket rotated in and out of the oil for a healthier frying and that you can drain and filter out out the oil, what I hated, is that you could not remove the pot for cleaning and washing! That was stupid! That was actually the third fryer I have ever had. My fourth fryer, will be the T-Fal ultimate EZ clean, when I can afford it, when I can work.

[@50hellkat2]

Do you have to wait until oil cools before you turn it to the drain position? The instructions say it will drain when the oil cools.

[@garysampson5258]

It won't drain until it cools, so go ahead and turn it to drain.

[@voluntarism335]

no once you are done frying you can set it to filter it will wait a few hours before it begins filtering the oil because it is waiting for the oil to cool the fryer does not need to be on for this so once done frying just put temp to 0 and turn off the machine then set the nob to filter. After a few hours it will start filtering then it will be done then you just wash parts

[@catherinefabra1947]

Hi . Mine is not working though

[@dukkkman]

you really should have made a point of the importance of letting the oil cool before draining, There are a lot of stupid people out there

[@bobbobbert1705]

A lot of stupid people that think manuals are for morons. Morons.

[@penepatitenor]

Youre wrong... the oil does NOT need to cool. You can switch to auto drain immediately after cooking and, the inbuilt thermometer will determine when it is safe to automatically drain. I've tried it and it works. It's a no brainer so you dont have to wait for it to cool.

[@lecaros]

@@penepatitenor it was a comment for previous version, I think

[@voluntarism335]

@@penepatitenor *correction the oil does need to cool otherwise it melts the plastic, it simply starts filtering once the oil is cool enough for the plastic to handle. So once done frying just turn off then set the nob to filter the oil does need to wait to cool but it's not you the one doing it.

[@KILLAMANJARO3]

I saw your video within an article of best deep fryers. So, I came to KZbin to find you. You mentioned if we have questions to ask. I do have a question... There was an issue with the oil retention ring. It would break, crumble apart etc. Do you know if the ring problem has been addressed and fixed? I am hesitant in purchasing a deep fryer since my Presto Fry Pro had a few used dented parts and the oil never got to right temp, it would go under and soggy fries, etc. I used it once and returned it. Didn't notice the used/dented parts until after one time use. I am in the hunt again for a deep fryer, but so many to choose from and most, if not all, have some sort of problem or problems. I have researched deep fryers for weeks and would take a break and back at it, but I am no closer in making a decision of which one to try next. Thanks for any help you can provide.

[@kris0369]

I have same one it gets really hot we had ours for 6 years we use it one or twice a month. We rarely drain the oil it never smells bad, we change oil once every few months or longer. We love it.

[@garysampson5258]

From reading the comments, there are a lot of people who really shouldn't own a deep fryer.

[@boboscurse4130]

LOL! When I stick my face in the hot oil it burns. Don't recommend this product.

[@carolinelauzon6540]

Does the oil not melt the plastic container ?

[@juddadam2]

friend bought this one and to my understanding, you let oil cool first before putting into container

[@Jonathan-fw6ty]

The drain doesn't open unless the oil is cold. Even if you turn the switch to ''filter'', it will take a bit of time before it starts draining, so you the container is safe.

Show me how easy it is to clean after using it for a week. You're just showing "theory". Anybody used this thing. What does it look like after a week of use, maybe every few days?

[@rickthebaker9379]

You need to drain and filter after each use. If you use the fryer multiple times then too much debris builds up and the filter will clog.

[@OctoberOhio]

@@rickthebaker9379 Exactly, not worth the effort.
