I used to fill a big wide pan with an entire bottle of oil and still get soggy chips because I was guessing the temperature. This holds the oil deep in a narrow pot so I use about half, and the dial tells me exactly when to drop them in. First batch of wings came out like the takeaway and my wife thought I had ordered in.

How it Works

Sakura Kitchen's Japanese Tempura Fryer is built on the shape Japanese kitchens have used for generations, deep and narrow rather than wide and shallow, so you get proper frying depth from far less oil. Pour the oil in, set it on any hob, and watch the built in thermometer climb to the temperature you need, 150 to 160 for fries, 160 to 170 for chicken, 170 to 180 for shrimp. Drop the food in, clip the lid on to keep splatter in the pot, then lift everything onto the detachable rack so the oil drains straight back down instead of into your food. When you are done, the V shaped spout pours the cooled oil back into a bottle without running down the side of the pan.

    FAQs

    What temperature should I fry at?

    150 to 160Β°C for fries, 160 to 170Β°C for chicken and nuggets, and 170 to 180Β°C for shrimp and tempura. Watch the dial and wait for it to come back up between batches, that gap is the reason home frying usually goes soggy.

    How much oil does it actually need?

    Far less than a wide frying pan. Because the pot is deep and narrow, the oil sits tall rather than spread out, so you reach proper frying depth using roughly half of what a shallow pan would swallow. That is the whole reason Japanese kitchens use this shape.

    Will it work on my hob?

    Yes. The 304 stainless steel base works on induction, gas, electric and ceramic. At 24cm across and 13 inches wide including the handles, it sits comfortably on a standard ring.

    Does it really stop the oil splattering?

    The lid clips on with a fixing buckle and keeps the spitting inside the pot rather than across your hob, and the deep sides help too. It is still hot oil, so lower food in gently and pat anything wet dry first.

    How do I clean it and save the oil?

    Let it cool, then use the V shaped spout to pour the oil straight back into a bottle with no drips down the side. The thermometer and lid both come off, so the pot washes out easily by hand.

    What if I don't like Sakura Kitchen's Japanese Tempura Fryer?

    Try it for 30 days, and if you are not happy for any reason we will refund you in full under our 30 day money back guarantee. Your purchase is completely risk free.

    Stop Guessing The Oil Temperature

    Soggy chips and burnt batter both come from the same thing, oil that was not at the right temperature when the food went in. The built in dial shows you exactly where you are, so every batch comes out the same as the last one.

    The Shape That Saves You Oil

    Japanese tempura pots are deep and narrow for a reason, you get full frying depth from about half the oil a wide pan needs. Over a few months of Friday night frying that difference adds up to a lot of bottles you never had to buy.

    • Half The Oil, Same Depth

      One bottle now lasts me three or four fry ups instead of one.

    • The Dial Changed Everything

      I always dropped chips in too early and wondered why they went limp. Turns out I was frying at about 120. Now I just wait for the needle and they come out crisp every single time.

    • My Hob Stays Clean Now

      The lid clips on and keeps the spitting in the pot. I used to spend longer wiping down the cooker than actually cooking.

    • The Drip Rack Is Genius

      Lift the food onto the rack and the oil runs straight back into the pot instead of soaking into the batter.

    • Finally Cracked Homemade Tempura

      I have tried making tempura in a wok, a saucepan and a wide skillet and it was never right. The difference with a proper deep pot and a thermometer is honestly ridiculous. Prawns came out exactly like the Japanese place near us and the batter stayed light instead of greasy.

    • Heavier Than I Expected

      Assumed at this price it would be flimsy tin. It is proper thick stainless, sits solid on my induction hob and has not discoloured after two months of use.
