  • Works great! Game changer for fried food!
Style: Fryer
The media could not be loaded. Love this! Great size! Not too small and not too large! Doesn’t take up a ton of room. I put it away in a cabinet when I’m not using it. Fries chicken so evenly crispy and FAST! I love how the temperature stays steady unlike frying on the stovetop. Easy to clean too! Great value for the price! The only minor bad things is that it uses a more oil than stovetop frying and also that the vent warps a little when the hot steam comes out when you’re frying but these were not dealbreakers for me, considering how well this fryer works. ... show more

  • Ease of use
Style: Fryer
Used this for frying fish, chicken and sweet potato fries. I love the removable oil pan for cleanup and draining the oil. One thing I found is the temperature cooking with canola oil needs to be adjusted down from the recipe book. I reduced it by 25 degrees and it worked great on fish and chicken.

  • The flawless fryer...a needed kitchen gadget even if you normally eat healthy like me.
Style: Fryer
For years I did not want to take up my already packed kitchen cabinets with a fryer. I eat healthy and I would just use a pot and oil. I didn't feel the need--until I watched a friend fry up some appetizers far more easily and perfectly and wondered why I didn't have a fryer. Let's face it, the key to perfectly fried foods is the temp of the oil. You can't guesstimate that and you don't have to with this. When it's the right temp for frying (which you can adjust but it has a chart with it--pretty much turn the knob up all the way and everything fries perfectly if you want the easy way--it's a no brainer) the light goes off. If you fry a batch of something and it cools the oil down, the light is back on so you know when it heats back up to being perfectly ready. If you have to add more oil, you will also know when it gets to frying temp. No more guesswork. The basket just makes everything so much easier too--no scooping anything out of hot oil...just lift and dump out on the paper towel. Diet is all about balance and when I entertain I find myself using this every time. I can have something cooking in the oven and fry up instant hot appetizers or you can make a protein and fry up some fries, you can get fancy like the Texas wontons I made placed over guacamole and garnished with red pepper jelly (but still super fast to make--just stuff cut eggroll wrappers with cream cheese, Mexican cheese and green chiles), or shrimp and okra beignets...or funnel cakes and donuts for the kids. It's a treat maker and a go to gadget for party food and entertaining, let's face it. Plus it will pay for itself when you do things like make your own fish sticks, french fries, donuts, etc. You also eliminate the chemicals and preservatives and everything tastes better. Chili cheese fries? Get yourself a spiral slicer and you can make spiral cut potatoes literally in seconds. fried mozzarella? You will never eat store bought again. Get a fryer cookbook--the Southern Living one is excellent, and you will be as addicted to this as I am. Plus when you invite people over for dinner they love to watch you use it. And want one. This one is the perfect size and heats fast and fries evenly. If it broke, I'd buy the exact same one again. I make my own taco and tostado shells from leftover tortillas but my favorite thing is to make soups and slice tortilla ribbons and fry them up--great on soups and salads and better than croutons! Looks prettier too! ... show more

  • Only Two Flaws
Style: Fryer
I got this fryer for $31, and it was a great buy at the price. It heats quickly, holds and regains temp well, has a large capacity, and generally is a good performer. The only thing really wrong with it is the thermostat knob, which is quite cheaply made and when even slightly oily is difficult to turn, and not easy to turn even when it isn't. I would have preferred to pay a little more for a better knob like the one on my Farberware unit. Also, the lid is entirely made of plastic, and cannot be used when the oil is hot. Overall, I recommend this product. ... show more

  • " Great Deep Fryer "
Style: Fryer
A wonderful deep fryer that does what it is suppose to do. It works great and the food comes out perfect. Just make sure you always have the right amount of oil in it. I recommend for anyone looking for a new deep fryer.

  • Satisfied with this purchase.
Style: Fryer
Fryer heater quickly, maintains the heat it was set for, easy to clean. Wish it was a 3 quart size...but very satisfied with this fryer. Return the T-Fal 3 qt fryer. The storage container leaked.

  • National Presto 05461 Stainless Steel Pro Fry Immersion Element Deep Fryer, Silver
Style: Fryer
Our old deep fryer stopped heating for us, so we replaced it with the National Presto 05461 Stainless Steel Pro Fry Immersion Element Deep Fryer Silver in color. My husband loves that it has a lid that keeps the splatters inside and not on the counter. It makes great French fries, chicken wings, thighs and breasts and hush puppies. It holds as much as our old one and takes about half as much oil. All these ways to save and the food tastes better and the chicken gets crisper so eating the chicken skin is tastier and meets the need I have for it at the request of my doctor. Great fryer at a reasonable price too. Undate: My husband loves to cook and does most of our cooking. He was changing the olive oil he uses in the deep fyrer and after ownin four or five of them in our almost fifty years of marriage, he said, "This is the easiest deep fryer we have ever used to clean," as he finished cleaning it in less than thirty minutes. The time includes draining the oil, taking it out to the garbage and washing up the frier and letting it dry in the dish drainer. ... show more

Cleanups easily. Don't store oil in plan to reuse, it will burn faster.
