I enjoy fried chicken, platanos, tempura, and sweet potato fries but I've been avoiding them because they're deep fried and deep fried foods are supposed to be unhealthy. But now Salton and George Foreman seem to have a conjured up a way for me to enjoy those foods without distress. The new George Foreman GSF026B Spinning Deep Fryer deep fryer uses a proprietary Smart Spin technology to remove the fat delivering perfectly fried foods that are crispy and crunchy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside.

Cons May Outweigh the Pros:
I think this tries to be an honest product. It does work as intended; it does expel the oil from food.

Other users are correct when they say this thing makes some awesome fried food, it does have some issues though. The basket is very hard to get in and out of the fryer and is actually kind of a hazard because you have to use a little force to put the basket back down into the oil and that can cause hot oil to splatter everywhere. I am a little nervous about using this for that reason. I just hope they fix this problem soon with a new model or something because I imagine poor old George could eventually... more info
Wonderful machine...:
We excitedly anticipated the arrival of this lean deep frying machine and were 100 % delighted! The machine does as it claims and truly does knock out much of the fat/grease from whatever you are deep frying. We haven't used it multiple times, just on Christmas Day repeatedly. We decided to attempt fried calamari. OH MY!!! It was to die for! Each batch cooked for 4 mins and were crispy as can be. The batches towards the end came out super crispy, so we would suggest lowering the cooking time as the oil... more info
