Low fat fryers

[helpmabob]

Hi can anyone tell me if these are really healthy? Or is it all nonsense? Are they worth the money? I am trying to decide whether to buy one but they are an awful lot of money. Thanks

are they the ones that rotate, dipping the stuff in a little bit of oil?

If so, my mum used to have one and I don't understand the logic really. The food is still immersed in oil. and the dipping in and out of the oil is not going to produce perfect chips or whatever.

the only benefit I can see is that it uses much less oil in total, so could be cheaper/less wasteful.

Apologies if I've misunderstood what you mean!
