Overview
Built for volume, the WeChef 26FRY003 is an 11.7L countertop deep fryer with a stainless steel body, a single removable basket, dial control from 140 to 392F, and a 60-minute timer.
WeChef recommends filling the tank to about 6 liters of oil rather than its full volume. The lift-out heating tube and drain tap are meant to simplify cleanup and oil changes, and the basket is sized for roughly 3 pounds of chips or five pairs of wings per batch, more than most compact home fryers hold.
- 1500W element with 140 to 392F dial control
- Up to 60-minute timer with two status lights
- Stainless steel basket and housing with a lift-out heating tube
- Overheat cutoff at 464F and an oil drain tap
Who it's for
Suits anyone frying in volume, whether for a family gathering, a small food business, or batch outdoor cooking, who wants a bigger basket than typical countertop fryers offer. Less suited to someone wanting a small, light unit for occasional single servings.
Pros and cons
- Basket handles large batches easily
- Drain tap simplifies oil cleanup
- Thermostat holds temperature well once loaded
- Basket handle can wiggle when lifting
- One unit arrived scratched
- One unit had a failed heating element
Performance notes
Overheat protection cuts power for at least 30 minutes if oil reaches 464F, and a drain tap at the base lets you empty used oil without lifting the tank.
