SEVERIN FR 2445 XXL — Five Litres, Enough for a Whole 1.5 kg Chicken
5-litre basket, up to 1.5 kg of food2000 W with 80–200 °C control8 automatic programmes with memoryCeramic-coated basket and holder
The SEVERIN FR 2445 is the XXL model of the range: a five-litre basket that takes up to 1.5 kg of chips or a whole 1.5 kg chicken, driven by a 2000 W element. Temperature runs from 80 to 200 °C and the timer goes to 60 minutes with an audible finish signal and automatic shut-off. Eight automatic programmes cover the usual jobs, and a memory function keeps your adjustments to them. Both the basket insert and the basket holder are ceramic coated rather than conventional non-stick, and everything is operated from an LED touch display.
Compatibility — check before buying:
???? The parts are not dishwasher safe. SEVERIN’s English marketing text claims otherwise, but the German specification field and the instruction manual both state plainly that no part should go in a dishwasher. Wash the basket and holder by hand in hot soapy water. Also note the appliance is 31.5 x 44 x 35 cm — that is a substantial worktop footprint, and it needs clear space above and behind for the hot air outlet. The cable is 80 cm, so it must sit near a socket. SEVERIN publishes no noise level and no PFAS or PTFE-free claim for the ceramic coating — the coating is described only as ceramic. If you are replacing a smaller fryer, measure the space before ordering.
Best For
✓ Households cooking for four or more
✓ Roasting a whole chicken without heating the oven
✓ Batch chips — up to 1.5 kg in one basket
✓ Anyone who wants preset programmes rather than guesswork
✓ Kitchens where oven pre-heating time is the daily annoyance
✓ Cooking with little or no added oil
Key Features
Five litres, and it takes a whole chicken
SEVERIN publishes a maximum of 1.5 kg of chips or a single whole chicken up to 1.5 kg. That is genuine family capacity rather than the two-portion baskets common at this size of appliance.
Eight programmes, and it remembers your changes
Eight automatic programmes cover the standard jobs, and a memory function stores your adjustments to each one — so the way you like chips done is the way they come out next time, without re-dialling.
Ceramic coating on both parts
Both the basket insert and the basket holder are ceramic coated, which SEVERIN describes as scratch-resistant and non-stick. Many fryers coat only the inner basket and leave the holder bare.
Full control, not just presets
80 to 200 °C and a 60-minute timer with a finish signal and automatic shut-off, all from an LED touch display. The presets are a starting point, not a limit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put the basket in the dishwasher?
No. SEVERIN’s instruction manual states that no parts should be cleaned in a dishwasher, and the German product specification says the same. Some of SEVERIN’s own English marketing text contradicts this — follow the manual. Hand wash in hot soapy water once the appliance has cooled.
How much food does it actually hold?
SEVERIN publishes 1500 g of chips, or a whole chicken weighing up to 1.5 kg. That is the figure from the datasheet and the manual, and it is the one to plan around.
What is the difference between this and the FR 2430?
Size and programmes. The FR 2445 is the 5-litre, 2000 W XXL with eight automatic programmes and a memory function. The FR 2430 is 3.2 litres and 1500 W with six programmes and no memory. Temperature range, timer, ceramic coating and touch display are identical on both.
Does the ceramic coating contain PTFE?
SEVERIN does not publish that information — the coating is described only as ceramic, with no PFAS or PTFE-free claim either way. We will not state something the manufacturer has not.
Singular Expert Insight
The two SEVERIN fryers we stock split cleanly on household size. This XXL model takes a whole chicken and 1.5 kg of chips; the FR 2430 is a 3.2-litre appliance for smaller portions. If you regularly cook for four or more, the extra litres and the 500 W of additional power are the difference between one batch and two. The point worth flagging before purchase is cleaning: neither model goes in the dishwasher, despite what SEVERIN’s English page says on this one. Its own manual and German specification are unambiguous, and following the marketing copy is how a ceramic coating gets ruined. One further note: both models still appear on SEVERIN’s site but the current range has moved on to newer FR models — these are run-out generation rather than discontinued, so if you want spares or a matching second unit later, tell us and we will check availability with the distributor.
Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
You cook for a family, want a whole chicken or 1.5 kg of chips in one go, and prefer presets with a memory function to setting time and temperature every time.
Skip it if
You cook for one or two — the 3.2-litre FR 2430 is the sensible size — or you want parts you can put in the dishwasher, which neither model allows.
Also consider
SEVERIN FR 2430 for a 3.2-litre, 1500 W version with six programmes. A larger worktop space plan, since this model is 44 cm deep.
