The Dual Zone Fryer from DeLonghi uses the same frying technology found in commercial fryers with a sleek, brushed stainless design for the contemporary kitchen. By placing the heating element directly in the frying pot, a strong convection current is created in the oil above the element for even frying temperature and faster frying. Loose food particles, which fall to the bottom and below the heating element (where the oil temperature is much lower), do not burn, keeping the oil cleaner for better food taste and longer oil life. With its 5-liter, 3-lb. capacity, the Dual Zone Fryer lets you cook crispy golden dishes for a hungry crowd, with cleanup thats easy thanks to its removable parts.
