The Deni 3-Quart Deep Fryer with Glass Sides will fry up all manner of delicious treats from fish and chips to snacks like deep-fried candy bars and Twinkies. Featuring distinctive modern styling, the deep fryer sports a glass exterior with stainless-steel accents. The 1,700-watt appliance covers a temperature range of 175 degrees to 375 degrees and has cool-touch handles. A charcoal filter incorporated in the lid helps to reduce odor, regardless of what's cooking.

Just because a deep fryer can make unhealthy foods doesn't mean it has to. Proper technique can go a long way toward reducing the amount of fat absorbed by food; don't let it soak for too long. Remember to keep an eye on it, when you're not gazing at the shiny glass sides of this deep fryer.
