Is buying a deep fat fryer for your kitchen a good idea or simply a whole lot of mess? I tried this one (for under £60!) to find out

I'll be totally honest now: I've never used one of the best deep fat fryers. Yes, I grew up having one in my kitchen, and I distinctly remember my Mum fretting about us going anywhere near it (and now I get it!), but I've never actually used one to cook. I mean, I've tasted the chips — and I often dream about them. But, as soon as I was old enough to move out and started investing in my own kitchen appliances, the best air fryer came along and, well, we all know how that went...

Anyway, I've finally gotten my hands on a deep fat fryer, and I've been using it in my kitchen ever since, to cook everything from halloumi to potato rostis and even onion rings.
