Compare the Best Large Fryers

Large fryers accommodate up to 3 pounds of food and allow you to cook some of the longest foods, like frozen fish fillets. To help you choose one, take a look at a comparison of two of our favorite larger home fryers: DeLonghi Esclusivo Dual Zone and T-Fal Family Pro.

DeLonghi dual zone

This programmable electric fryer has a sturdy build and looks great. Its anti-drip oil drainage system makes it easy to clean. It holds up to 3 pounds of food and cooks all foods evenly. The only problem: It doesn’t filter the used oil of burned-on food particles, which means you’ll have to change the oil quite often. Also, it is expensive compared to other brands.

T-Fal Pro Family

T-Fal Family Pro is a popular affordable large fryer. Its extra-large fry basket has a 2.6 lb. food capacity and evenly fries even the largest foods. It has an adjustable thermostat, auto shut-off feature, and a washable oil filter. All its removable parts are completely dishwasher safe. Tefal has been creating some of the best cookware for over half a decade, and its deep fryers are no exception. Tefal is more affordable than many other brands, and they tend to last longer. The T-Fal Family Pro costs about twice as much as the DeLonghi Dual Zone.

Large fryers generally come with a 1-year limited warranty. Any problem with large fryers can be resolved by requesting a replacement unit within the warranty period.
