4.5 Liter Deep Fryer w/Basket Strainer, XL Jumbo Size, Adjustable Temperature & Timer, Perfect for Fried Chicken, Shrimp, French Fries, Chips & More, Removable Oil-Container, Stainless Steel

Over the years I've tried several deep fryers here on Amazon and returned most of them. I have a T-Fal which is excellent that is a dedicated fryer just for French Fries in pure Tallow. However, I needed another, large fryer for breaded products. We season a lot of Okra or Zucchini, Mushrooms, Shrimp, Fish, and Chicken (see my review on the wonderful Breading Bowl) and this fryer is perfect. It holds a gallon of oil. The basket is wide and large so I can get all the pieces of a whole small chicken in it. Similarly, I can put at least 1 whole Zucchini in the basket which have been sliced into 1/8" rounds. This large size makes it much more faster and easier to fry anything. This fryer was designed here in America but made in China. And at least they got it right! The temperature is in Fahrenheit instead of Celsius and goes to 375. What is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT is that the temperature on the dial actually matches the temperature of the oil. I've used 2 different (calibrated) instant-read thermometers and this fryer puts the temperature exactly where it says. Another IMPORTANT thing to know about this fryer is that it not only heats up fast... it recovers quickly when products are placed into the oil. I use to own a Snack Food Manufacturing Company. I had huge fryers. The temperature recovery is the most important process in quality frying. Do NOT put in any fryer COLD items. Let your chicken, fish or vegetables come up to room temperature and bread them. Fry them at 350 to 365 (check your internal temperature with a thermometer for doneness) till golden. Just be aware that if you put in your food COLD, this will drop the temperature of any fryer and how fast it can recover is how good quality it is. If it recovers slowly your food is NOT being cooked at the temperature you set at the thermostat. In fact, it will take much longer to cook and may even be under cooked! Not only that, the food will absorb more oil and be greasy. For the price, this Fryer is excellent. Its large, good looking, easy to use, works as it should, and easy to clean. Let your oil cool off for a couple of hours then strain your oil through a funnel lined with a filter or cheesecloth back into its bottle. We purchase the 1 gallon bottles of Peanut Oil here on Amazon for many years. Peanut oil has a high smoking point and is excellent for frying breaded products and fries. Don't let your oil (or Tallow) sit in the fryer. Oxygen can make it rancid. Especially the fried breading which falls to the bottom will also deteriorate the oil. The fryer is easy to clean. Just use hot soapy water on the oil container and GENTLY clean the heating element. Never get the controls wet. I highly recommend this fryer for home use. The price was good and shipping was fast. It's designed in the USA.

Love my deep fryer!! Works great and very easy to use. Easy to clean, no oil leaks, and cooks a lot faster and it heats up quickly.

Love cooking fish , fries and corn dogs. Anything you need to deep fry. Easy to clean up since you can remove the inside pan can put in sink no electrical attached.

I have only used this once to fry breaded fish. Worked great. Only once did I not look at the timer and it timed out and turned off. it took me awhile to understand why the fish were taking so long. duh. As one who had a pot of hot oil blow on me when making french fries decades ago and never since, I appreciate the breakaway cord to keep little ones safe. Simple to use, easy to clean. A drain would have been nice, but not necessary. a funnel worked just fine.

Great size if you have lots to fry. Easy to clean

This cooks a lot in the little basket. Saves me a lot of time and saves me a lot on peanut oil because I’m not using it once and throwing it out. Works great and I would recommend it to anyone with a family

Only complaint is the heating coils are not consistent. They are angled/bent. Still, heated up the oil just fine and really cut the time I spend cooking Tangsuyuk in half.

So happy with my little bucket list deep fryer purchase! Every time I used to try and fry chicken I could never get the timing right but this thing made my life a whole lot better...perfectly fried chicken cooked all the way through! Only negative I will say is it uses a gallon of vegetable oil, which can be very pricey if you use a new batch every time. Also had to buy a solidifier to dispose of the grease. Great purchase if you want to show off your fried cooking skills! Set up and clean up were pretty easy also.

Seems cheap an flimsy but actually works extremely well. Heats up fast, recovers heat quickly, easy to clean. Because the design has a heating coil inside the pan, crumbs fall to the bottom and don’t burn quickly, so the oil is easier to filter and lasts much longer. The only thing I wish is that it had 3/4” more oil depth and another inch of pan height, which would give more capacity for things like fried chicken, but for a family of 2-4 it works well

Cumple su propósito a la perfección

La utilizó para freír boneless y papas y me encanta los boneless en 3 min están y las papas en 5 calienta súper rapido

Buena freidora, solo que si necesita bastante aceite

This deep fryer works great. Large basket, heats up fast, easy to clean, keeps high temperature. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was due to openings on the cover (see picture). These slots are for when you’re cooking to be able to close the lid and keep the basket handle attached but when stored and not in use, dust and pet hair, etc can get into the oil through these slots. The other deep fryer I had wasn’t like that. The oil wasn’t at all exposed. The slots aren’t big but big enough for dust, small flies, pet hair to get into the fat.
