I was thrilled to receive a DeLonghi D895 Cool Touch ROTO Fryer as a present this Christmas. It was beautifully high-tech and (I thought) nicely suited to making deep frying interesting. I do a lot of cooking and entertaining, and this machine looked like just the thing to make fried foods less messy and greasy. I had hoped to have fun making falafel, fritters, even sopaipillas in it.
Unfortunately, the unit comes with no cooking instructions beyond warnings such as not to lift the basket while the lid is closed; there’s nothing about how to load the food into the basket, for instance. There are no sample recipes to suggest how to adapt your own recipes to this complex machine…

I have only had this coffee maker for a couple of days and so far, I basically am pleased with it. It is attractive and very easy to program and operate. We are enjoying the convenience of brewing 2 pots simultaneously, rather than waiting for one to finish before brewing another. This coffee maker comes with 3 additional carafe lids in various colors, so the carafes do not get mixed up. A water level indicator legible on the outside would be a suggestion for improvement. As always, I wish the coffee was hotter (I like mine practically boiling). I have been in search of a drip coffee maker that makes a really HOT cup of coffee for years, to no avail. This model makes coffee that is 150-160 degrees, according to the manufacturer. It helps to preheat the carafes by rinsing with hot tap water before brewing and not using milk/cream that is very cold. Also, make sure you remove the carafes from the unit once brewing is done. It will help prevent heat from escaping.

This fryer is ok, but that’s about it. Instead of Easy Clean System, they should call it “It takes a long time to clean”. There are so many components that need to be cleaned, it’s about a 20 minute process (not counting what you put in the dishwasher). Also, they capacity is very limited. Three chicken thighs is max. So your cooking for 1.5 persons or in multiple batches. It did fry OreIda fozen fast food french fries better than McDonalds, but it’s not really worth the hassle of the clean up. Would I recommend it? No. A simple frying pan is so simple to use. And now with the new recycling rules, I just dump the used oil on top of the lawn clipping in the recycle toter. It’s not worth saving it in the provided container….just another item to clean later.
