  • Awesome outdoor fryer
Style: Fryer
I purchased this to enable me to fry outdoors for larger family gatherings. This product worked as described for a great price. I was able to fry 10 pounds of shrimp and it took me less than 25 minutes. Setup was simple, and the oil was hot, and ready to fry in less than 15 minutes. The basket holds quite a bit of shrimp and the ability to use it to shake the excess corn flour off was a huge help with clean up. Speaking of clean up, all I did was let it cool, and poured the oil in a secondary container for disposal, easy as that. Washed the oil reservoir with warm water and dawn and it was clean as a whistle. Make sure to clean the element by wiping with a rag, do not submerge. Product not ionly saved me time in the frying process, but clean up was a breeze, and being outside, no odors to get rid of in the house. ... show more

  • 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

  • Love
Style: Fryer
Replaced my old deep fryer not realizing just how badly it needed replaced until I started using this one. So nice! I wish I had done it sooner. Heats up fast. Quickly and evenly cooks whatever I put in it. Highly recommend!

  • Fantastic and less greasy than pan fried
Style: Fryer
You don't realize how much better, faster, easier and less greasy fried food is over pan frying until you try it. Because it cooks food so much faster the food absorbs a lot less grease, seems counterintuitive but I swear to you. We put Yuca fries on the paper towel and theres hardly any oil at oil on the towel vs A LOT when we pan fry them. Plus they are so much crispier, cook a lot faster, you can cook a LOT more than you can with a pan, its just way better. The only down side is the amount of oil it takes, two medium sized bottles worth of oil, so you have to have a lot cook or its not worth it, but you can save and recycle the oil. ... show more

  • Tostadas and wings any time!
Style: Fryer
Homemade tostada tortillas are the absolute best (pictured). Likewise hot wings and fries, which taste much better than most of what I've eaten in restaurants. This machine is perfect for one or two people; the basket is too small for a family, but great for my needs. It heats up quickly, and is relatively easy to clean. I read the brief instructions, but I get the best advice and suggestions for use by searching for my favorite fried foods on YouTube. I've gotten some bad advice by video, but useful hints and recipes far more often. The only caveat about using this fryer (something others have mentioned) is the sharp edges of the enamel pot. I wouldn't say it's dangerous, but be careful not to slide your fingers along those top edges. I shopped around for the best deep fryer, and this one ticked all the boxes for me. I especially like the enamel pot, which provides the most neutral surface for this type of cooking. Otherwise, it's such a simple machine that there's not much to say about it. It takes up very little counter space if you must leave it out. I worked in burger joint kitchens when I was a young guy, and believe me there's nothing "pro" about this fryer, but it is definitely more than adequate for home cooking. ... show more
