Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Dual Zone deep fryer with Dual Zone technology and stainless steel exterior for cooking exceptionally great-tasting foods.

Features:

  • Extra-large, three-pound food capacity with extra-large frying basket allows you to accommodate almost any type of food.
  • Dual-zone technology: This refers to both the hot and cool zones of the deep fryer. The cool zone, located underneath the heating element prevents food from burning. This reduces odor and keeps the oil clean, resulting in tasty fried food every time.
  • Easy-clean, oil drain system: Forget dealing with messy, hot oil. This ingenious system makes draining and recycling cooking oil safe and easy. Simply open the door on the front of the unit and drain!
  • Removable parts make cleanup quick and effortless. The bowl, frying basket, and lid are all dishwasher-safe.
  • Adjustable thermostat with indicator light: a handy control allows you to set the frying temperature, giving you the flexibility to fry foods just the way you like them.
  • Removable parts: the heating element along with the control panel, the frying basket, and container are all removable for easy cleaning.
  • Permanent mesh filter: located inside the stainless steel lid, the permanent filter prevents the release of oil vapors and odors into your kitchen.
  • Removable heating element allows for quick and easy cleanup, and it's in direct contact with the food for fast and crispy results.
  • Cool-touch removable handle lets you lift or lower the frying basket for safe operation.
  • No-print finish: brushed stainless steel exterior with exclusive coating keeps your deep fryer looking like new.
  • Designed and engineered in Italy

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Hot Enough!, January 7, 2005

This review is from: DeLonghi D455DZ Dual Zone 3-Pound Capacity Deep Fryer (Kitchen)
Check Your Recipes, and frozen french fries bag, before ordering this (or any) Deep Fryer! This fryer will heat oil only to 360 degrees farenheit.

I was very disappointed to realize (after I received the unit, of course) I needed 400 degrees for my chicken wings and 375 degrees for tempura! I did try cooking the wings at 360 anyway but was disappointed with the results. Yes, they cooked but even keeping the food in the oil longer did not improve the overall crispiness.

Because of the DeLonghi's temperature limitations I down graded my review to 3 stars. Otherwise it would have been 4 or 5.

If 360 will work for your recipes/frozen foods than I recommend this unit. It does not take up a large amount of counter space - in fact its quite slim. Easy to use, clean up WAS easy! Convenient spout for draining the oil! But, don't think for a minute that the filters will eliminate an oil smell in the kitchen...the top is open when you first immerse the basket. Also, although it says it has a 3 pound capacity - that refers to french fries. I felt a maximum of 14 wing pieces was the largest load I should do for maximum effectiveness.

Obviously I'm disappointed that the advertizing did not indicate the highest heat setting. However, returns on Amazon are painless and hassle-free!

2.0 out of 5 stars Customer Service Sucks, October 14, 2004
By 
This review is from: DeLonghi D455DZ Dual Zone 3-Pound Capacity Deep Fryer (Kitchen)
The unit is a GREAT kitchen tool. BUT customer service is blunt and poor --- although I live 200+ miles from a 'service center' they curtly demanded I call the center and deliver it to them. The unit stopped heating beyond 135F after a few uses and needs either a thermostat or better a new heating element. REDICULOUS. I will not purchase any DeLonghi product again after experiencing their customer service office.

5.0 out of 5 stars TOTALLY SURPRISED! EXCELLENT FRYER!, July 5, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: DeLonghi D455DZ Dual Zone 3-Pound Capacity Deep Fryer (Kitchen)
It's better than I thought it would be. I looked all over and read many reviews.
A friend of mine has the Waring Pro and thought I would get it until I saw the Delonghi, read the reviews and saw the PRICE! Great savings over the Waring. This fryer does it all!

I made eggrolls, shrimp and chicken all in the sameday. Everything was crisp and delicious and non-greasy. Clean up was very simple. Most parts dishwasher safe.
