Our take on the Bella Pro Series 1.6-qt. Deep Fryer

The Bella Pro Series is a compact countertop deep fryer with a 1.6-quart oil capacity, aimed at households that want occasional fried food without a large appliance on the counter. It is small enough for a couple or a small family and takes up less space than 3- to 4-quart fryers. Against bigger rivals it trades batch size for a smaller footprint and quicker oil changes, so it suits light use rather than feeding a crowd.

Questions and answers

How much food fits in a 1.6-quart fryer?

It holds roughly one to two servings of fries or a small batch of wings per round. Plan on frying in batches for more than two people.

Is a 1.6-quart fryer big enough for a family?

For a family of four it means several batches. It fits couples and small households better than larger 3- to 4-quart fryers.

How does it compare with a larger deep fryer?

It heats less oil faster and takes less counter space, but cooks smaller batches and needs more rounds. Larger fryers handle bigger crowds but use more oil.

What kind of oil should I use?

Use a high-smoke-point oil such as canola, vegetable or peanut oil. Avoid olive oil and butter, which burn at frying temperatures.

How often should the oil be changed?

With light use, filter the oil after every few batches and replace it once it darkens or smells off. Small oil volumes degrade faster than large ones.

Does it come with a basket?

Compact fryers in this class typically include a wire frying basket and a lid. Check the box contents for the exact accessories included.
