Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Strikingly sleek looking with chrome sides, this 12-cup deep fryer fries food to perfection with a built-in electronic timer and adjustable thermostat. An "on/temperature ready" light and an "on/off" switch offer added convenience. With its fresh-food capacity of 2-3/4 pounds, this family-sized fryer provides not only ease and flexibility, but also several safety features. Its large viewing glass window allows for monitoring food, while its external, integrated basket handle protectively raises and lowers the basket with the lid closed. Additional safety features include its hermetically sealed locking lid to prevent dangerous spills, its detachable magnetic plug, and its automatic lid-opening button to open the lid without burning fingers. Along with the sealed lid, its filtration system helps to minimize cooking odors. An 80-use, replaceable filter cartridge with active charcoal granules is included. For easy clean up, the removable lid, frying basket, and nonstick bowl are dishwasher safe. This fryer carries a one-year parts-and-labor warranty. --Catie Unger

4.0 out of 5 stars Cooks Great, Cleanup a Snap!, July 24, 2004

This review is from: T-Fal FR4004002 Avante Deep Fryer, Chrome & Black (Kitchen)

I used this the first time to cook beer battered fish and shrimp. The oil heated up quickly stayed hot while frying. Cleanup was a breeze, the lid and basket come out and go right in the dishwasher. The heating element is below the tub not in it, which I think is a pluse. The only thing was the batter tends to stick to the basket, IU had to use a "fryer scoop" to lower the food in and then once it set drop it in the basket.

All in all well worth the price.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cooks well, but lid does not close properly after sev. uses, November 13, 2005

Ravenna Hound "ravenna hound" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: T-Fal FR4004002 Avante Deep Fryer, Chrome & Black (Kitchen)

Bought my fryer in July, plastic clip on basket handle broke the moment I took it out of the box. As it was still usable, I decided not to return it. After several uses, found that the lid closes well initially but after 1-2 batches of cooking, the lid frequently pops open unexpectedly. This despite me wiping away any moisture/oil on the inner side of the lid and using new oil. I have to hold the lid down for the duration of the cooking. Otherwise the fryer cooks well.

I have used this frequently since I purchased it earlier this year. My only complaint is that the filters are very difficult to find. The ones linked to the Amazon page are not the ones that fit the Avante, so be careful or you may end up (like me) with useless filters that don't fit.
