Deep Fat Fryer Progress EK6669PVDE, electric countertop fryer with temperature control and removable oil tank

The Progress 5L Deep Fat Fryer is an electric countertop fryer designed for household use. It offers a removable oil tank and three non-stick baskets that can be arranged as two 2.5 L baskets or combined into a single 5 L basket for larger batches. The unit includes adjustable temperature control from 150–190°C, a viewing window in the lid, power and ready indicator lights, cool-touch handles and anti-slip feet for safer operation. The fryer is powered by a 2000 W heating element and is intended for preparing fried foods such as chips, donuts and snacks.

Advantages

The fryer’s removable oil tank and non-stick baskets simplify cleaning and oil changes. Multiple basket options allow flexible portioning for small or larger batches. Adjustable temperature control and indicator lights provide more precise frying and visual cues when the oil is ready. Safety features such as cool-touch handles and anti-slip feet reduce the risk of burns and accidental movement.

Suitable for

• Home kitchens preparing chips, battered snacks and pastries
• Small family meals and batch frying for gatherings
• Users who need easy cleaning and adjustable portion sizes

When it may not be suitable

This compact countertop fryer is intended for domestic use and small-scale catering; it may not be suitable for commercial kitchens or high-volume frying where industrial equipment is required. The 5 litre oil capacity and 2000 W power are sized for household portions rather than continuous heavy-duty operation.

Key specifications

• Oil capacity: up to 5 litres (configurable as two 2.5 L baskets or one 5 L basket)
• Power: 2000 W
• Temperature range: 150–190 °C (adjustable)
• Basket options: three non-stick removable baskets; cool-touch handles
• Viewing window in lid; power and ready indicator lights
• Anti-slip feet for stable countertop placement

How to use

Place the fryer on a stable, heat-resistant surface, fill the removable oil tank to the indicated level and set the desired temperature between 150 and 190 °C. Preheat until the ready indicator light shows the oil has reached the set temperature. Load food into the appropriate basket configuration and lower it into the oil using the cool-touch handle. Fry until the food reaches the preferred colour and texture, then lift the basket to drain excess oil. Allow the oil and appliance to cool before removing the oil tank or baskets for cleaning.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: domestic frying and small-scale catering rather than commercial/industrial use
• Kitchen space and countertop strength to support a 2000 W appliance
• Availability of storage for multiple baskets and the removable lid
• Capacity needs—5 L maximum oil capacity may limit continuous large-volume frying

Usage recommendations

For best results, choose the basket configuration that matches the batch size, monitor oil temperature with the integrated control, and avoid overfilling baskets to ensure even frying and reduce oil splatter. Regularly filter and change the oil according to the type of food fried to maintain flavour and extend oil life.
