Tefal Oleoclean Compact Review

The Tefal Oleoclean Compact Deep Fat Fryer is a compact, lightweight and practical fryer which is full of modern features. It includes the use of Tefal's automatic filtration system which, when the oil has cooled down, drains, cleans and stores the oil for the next use. It also features an immersed heating element which brings the oil up to temperature quickly and, as a consequence, creates crispy and professional results.

In terms of numbers, the Tefal Oleoclean Compact takes a maximum of 2 litres of oil, and can fry 800g of food at a time. One feature which we particularly like is the adjustable thermostat, giving you the ability to set the temperature to between 150 and 190 degrees Celsius. The fryer is for the most part dishwasher safe, with the exception of the lid, the main housing and the heating element.
