Know before you buy
Yes, the BDF500XL is designed to handle both. It features specific settings that automatically adjust the cooking time and temperature to ensure consistent results regardless of whether your ingredients are fresh or frozen.
The double fry function is designed to achieve a professional-grade, extra-crispy texture. It works by frying the food once to cook it through, then a second time at a higher temperature to create a golden, crunchy exterior.
The 4-quart capacity is well-suited for small to medium-sized batches, typically enough to serve 2 to 3 people comfortably. It is an ideal size for home kitchens where counter space is at a premium.
No, the fryer features automatic temperature control. You simply select one of the seven pre-set functions, and the appliance manages the heat levels for you to prevent burning or undercooking.
The brushed stainless steel finish is durable and generally easy to maintain. A quick wipe-down with a damp, non-abrasive cloth after the unit has cooled is usually sufficient to keep it looking new.
