We did a Post Office drop today and, as the weather was good, we walked down to the promenade for coffee & doughnuts. Hot, cooked-to-order sugared ring doughnuts are so delicious. When we returned home, I looked into the range of domestic doughnut makers available on the market.
The plastic doughnut dispenser is very affordable, and is simple to use with just a high-sided frying pan. It could be a little dangerous if over filled with hot oil, so care must be taken.
The mid-range model comes with interchangeable inserts; so, as well as doughnuts, you can make brownies/blondies and waffles. I don’t know about you, but I like my doughnuts deep-fried – so this one wouldn’t be my chosen option.
#3 isn’t really a domestic machine, it’s a compact industrial one. Its size is why I’ve included it here, it’s small enough to be able to find a space in many home kitchens. It’s a doughnut dispenser and a deep fat fryer in one. This dispenser is also available to buy without the fryer part if you already have a deep fat fryer. Nearly £400 is a lot to outlay for an appliance if you’re only going to be using it occasionally… You’ll have to make and eat batches of doughnuts a few times per week to make this one a viable choice!
