Deep Fat Fryer
First, and most importantly, a deep fat fryer is just SO much safer than a chip pan, and also cleaner and far less smelly.
There are still far too many chip pan fires happening, with all the resultant danger, mess, and misery... so if you are upgrading from a chip pan to a deep fat fryer, then that is a brilliant move.
A phone call, a visitor, or some other distraction, can so easily lead to the fat getting overheated in a chip pan.
Your deep fryer will produce a far more even, tastier and crisper result and with the previously mentioned benefits to safety, and the added convenience, plus the fact that it will be much quicker... you will have a far superior method of cooking.
Remember to change the oil VERY frequently, and always pass it through a sieve once it has cooled down after cooking to achieve the tastiest and healthiest results... cuts down on smell too!
Just a couple more vital tips... first, top chefs recommend the using of corn or vegetable oils for best results. Second, it is vital that the oil is at the correct heat before your food is added.
If the oil is not hot enough, the food will take up far too much oil, taste greasy, and not be reliably crisp. Therefore, the prime requirement in a deep fat fryer is an accurate thermostat.
Also when looking for a good deep fryer, you need to choose one which will be easy to use AND CLEAN... well, as easy to clean as is possible!

Consider and remember that for any appliance to be useful it must be ready on the worktop... if it's kept stored away in a cupboard it may be used very rarely! I'm afraid I am guilty of having a deep fat fryer which is very rarely used... I think they are horrible to clean... the best quality oven chips, like Aunt Bessie's or Harry Ramsden's are just SO much easier. They can go on some Bakewell paper on a flat baking tray in the oven, or be cooked under the grill without creating much mess at all.
On the other hand, if price [and space] is no object, it is possible to obtain built in fryers. Information on where they can be obtained will be included below within the list of suppliers.

At Argos fryers come in at prices from £99.99 down to £19.47... a good selection. New features include cordless, and for a Tefal model at £79.99, an 'automatic filter and clean of the oil after use'... well worth thinking about!
