Why fries from the chip shop are more expensive than frying at home with FRITEL?

Let’s be honest: grabbing fries from the chip shop is easy. But cheap? Not anymore. What used to be a quick, affordable snack is now a big bite out of your budget.

An average family now easily pays €10 to €15 for a single visit to the chip shop. Do that once a week and you’re looking at €600 to €750 per year. And that’s not even mentioning waiting times, inconsistent quality, or a portion that “seems a bit smaller than last time.”

For many people, frying fries at home sounds like a hassle. But with a FRITEL fryer, that image completely changes. Thanks to the Turbo SF system, the fryer heats up faster and keeps the temperature stable. That means:

• less energy use
• faster frying times
• less fat absorption

With the same potatoes, you can fry more portions at home for less money, and you decide yourself how golden, crispy, or light you want them.

The conclusion is simple: The chip shop is easy, but FRITEL is smarter. And you can taste it… and see it on your bill.

Blog 2 – New potatoes & the Turbo SF® system

New potatoes are fantastic. Fresh, flavorful, pure nature. But anyone who’s tried to turn them into fries knows: the result is often disappointing.

The reason? Water. New potatoes contain considerably more moisture. And water + hot fat = splattering, temperature drops, and soggy fries.

Many fryers simply aren’t designed for this. They lose heat, the oil cools down, and the fries soak up fat instead of becoming crispy.

FRITEL tackles this fundamentally differently. The Turbo SF system removes steam more quickly and ensures a constant frying temperature. As a result:

• excess moisture evaporates faster
• the oil stays stable
• fries fry evenly and crispy

The result? Even with new potatoes you get fries that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

It's not the potato that’s the problem. The fryer makes the difference.
