De'Longhi Livenza FH1363 Fryer

The MultiFry uses a unique Surround Cooking System with both upper and lower heating elements, which allows it to cook more than just fried foods. The automatic mixing paddle also sets it apart, as it continuously stirs ingredients to ensure even browning without you needing to shake the basket manually.

Yes, the mixing paddle is removable. This is ideal for cooking delicate items like fish fillets or pizza that you wouldn't want to be stirred during the cooking process.

Cleanup is straightforward because the lid, paddle, and bowl are all dishwasher-safe. For the main housing, a simple wipe-down with a damp cloth is usually sufficient.

The unit has a capacity of 3.8 pounds, which is generally enough to cook a meal for about four to six people, depending on the dish.

Because of the surround heating technology, it does not require a traditional preheating cycle like a standard oven. You can generally start cooking immediately after adding your ingredients.

The MultiFry features a detachable timer that you can set for your specific recipe. Once the time is up, the timer will alert you, though you will need to manually turn off the appliance as it does not shut off automatically.
