The Halo Health Fryer VDF065 – Breville

The Arrival
The Halo arrived yesterday morning by a very kindly
white van man, I was pleased with how well packaged it came. Included with the Breville Halo is a
selection of low-fat frying recipe ideas for starters, mains meals and
desserts. When cooking oven chips and frozen foods, the Halo requires no oil at
all.
We, ooo’d and aaa’d over the Halo’s unique bowl
design and its removable paddle means you can cook not only chips, but delicate
foods like fish, vegetables and fruit.
Because of the rotating bowl and paddle being easy to remove the
Halo comes with a roast rack which means this machine is capable of baking, sautéing
and Roasting a whole joint.
Having passed the instructions to the Guv’ner to
read we set up the Halo and argued over what to cook in it first.
The Guv’ner won and we settled on Chips, Sweet Potato
Chips with Italian Seasoning.
The one element we did notice was that our little
Halo was like a mini lighthouse – we turned all the lights off in the house and
it still lit the way for us. So not only
does it cook it also steps in as a light.
A bonus to any household…and possibly a money saver too for those scrooges among us.
The Technical Bit
As with all reviews I can bore you with the
technical, regale you with how the halogen heating element in the Breville Halo
low-oil fryer gives an instant heat source, so there's no waiting for it to
pre-heat. The element also illuminates the inside of the bowl so you can view
your foods cooking progress.
However, I feel that Breville do a much better job
than ever could so we’ll leave them to the technical bit.
What I will say is…
...it's brilliant very easy to use, and take apart to clean.
I have now cooked a couple of recipes that are in the instruction
booklet and they are easy to follow and above all tasty.
Oh, and the Sweet Potato chips with Italian seasoning were also a
massive hit last night.
Chef Dave’s Top Tip
If I could only
impart one piece of advice it would be: if you are grilling chicken in this
add some paprika to the skin as it can look very pale when cooked and slightly unappetising.
Where can you buy
one??
These are now widely available and range in price from £99.00 to £69.00
you could also buy these on eBay.
However, we bought our one from Tesco and I would say it was mid-range
in price.
Chef Dave's Rating
I personally would give The Halo Health Fryer a top rating of 4 stars out of 5 - the Guv'ner would give it 5 out of 5.
