Ovente Stainless Steel Deep Fryer 2 Liters FDM2201BR review

About the Ovente FDM2201BR

The FDM2201BR has a brushed stainless steel housing and a 1500 W heating element. The element sits in the housing rather than in the oil, and Ovente describes it as wipe-clean, along with the control box. A temperature knob sets the oil between 240°F and 375°F, and the fryer holds that temperature on its own. Two red lights show when it is powered and when the oil is ready.

The oil container is enameled and removable, and Ovente says it can be immersed in water for cleaning. It holds 2 liters (68 oz), and the brand says you need about 6 cups of oil. A small batch needs far less oil than a full-size fryer.

The locking lid cuts splatter and odor, and has a viewing window and an odor filter so you can check the food without lifting it. The handle is cool-touch. The brand's page does not list what comes in the box, so check the listing for the basket and any extras.

What owners report about the Ovente FDM2201BR

We found little owner feedback for this exact model that we could read in full, so we are not summarizing it here.

What the sources we opened agree on is limited to the design: a small footprint, an adjustable thermostat and a lid with a viewing window. For how it holds up after months of use, read the recent owner reviews on the retailer listing before you buy.

Who the Ovente FDM2201BR suits

Buy it if you fry for one or two people now and then and want a thermostat you can adjust without paying for a bigger machine. The 2-liter pot needs about 6 cups of oil, so it is cheaper to fill and easier to store than a 4-quart fryer. It also suits a first fryer, a dorm or a small kitchen.

Look elsewhere if you cook for a family or want to fry in more than one batch. The Chefman 4.5 Liter Deep Fryer RJ07-45-SS or the Cuisinart 4-Quart Deep Fryer CDF-200P1 have far more room. If you want two foods at once, the Elite Gourmet Dual Basket Deep Fryer EDF434 has two baskets. If you want built-in oil filtering, look at the T-fal Ultimate EZ Clean FR800050.
