One thing we really like about the Russell Hobbs 19771 Professional is the temperature control. It has several temperatures notches - 130, 150, 170 and 190 degrees Celsius. Such a large range gives you more control over how your food is cooked, so not only can you cook more types of food, you can fry to your ideal level of crispiness.
