Sage The Smart Fryer BDF500UK 4 "good fryer" Mrs Harper 14 October 2014 I was fed up of buying a new fryer every couple of years due to the temperatures rubbing off. I don't fry often so that was a pain. I decided to splash out on this. It is expensive and bearing Heston's name probably raised the price considerably. It is good, I have used it to make pakoras and spring rolls. The only thing I have to watch is to not get food stuck on the element. I think I would have preferred this covered. I like it,but the jury is out on whether it is worth the cost.
Sage The Smart Fryer BDF500UK 2 "pricy bit of kit" Mr Halliwell 18 March 2016 I've used the fryer a few times now and feel that it's quite expensive for what it is. The twice fried chips have always been completely overcooked to the point of inedible. If you watch the video the chips look great but in truth they are burnt and as I say inedible. I've used the recommended potatoes and followed the instructions but without success. Sorry to go on but the twice fried chips simply doesn't work. Good points are the easy to read temperature digits, and it's easy to clean. Lakeland have offered a full refund.
Sage The Smart Fryer BDF500UK 1 "Sage fryer - Dr P Dixon" Margaret A 09 February 2015 I purchase this machine as a Christmas present to myself ! This was because it had the double fry feature for chips. However despite many attempts I was never able to achieve the results that I could with my old fryer and eventually I sent the machine back to Lakeland for a full refund. A note from the team Thanks for the feedback and taking the time to contact us. I'm sorry that you'd been disappointed with the results but glad we were able to put things right for you.
