Let’s take a closer look and see what the 480003 fryer offers.
This 480003 model is the cheaper alternative in the Morphy Richards line of health fryers. There are manual controls, instead of digital, and it’s a smaller capacity too.
Smaller capacity
If you’re only cooking for 2-4 people most of the time, then the smaller capacity model is the ideal choice.
Even cooking
The unit still uses Morphy Richards’ Rapid Air Technology which is just the fancy name given to how the air is heated and circulated. All you need to know is food is cooked consistently with only a spoonful of oil needed. There’s no rotating paddle or bowl with this fryer, it doesn’t need one, as even cooking is achieved by fans who do a great job circulating the air around the food.
If you’re counting calories, this fryer only uses one spoonful of oil, and it’s entirely up to you which cooking oil you decide to use. You’ll be amazed at how crispy and tasty the food comes out of this fryer. Morphy Richards has done a great job.
Manual controls
Morphy Richards has arguably made this fryer for users who don’t want the complexity of digital controls. Both the timer and temperature settings are controlled by dials situated on the front of the unit. These are simple and easy to use, which might suit some people more than others.
Recipes and instructions
In the box, you’ll find an instruction booklet with some recipes to get you started. Morphy Richards also offers a free app called “Cook and Create” – available on the Apple App Store and Android Store. We’ve downloaded it, and some fab-looking recipes are there – take a look!
