    Excellent Cooking Results

    I was looking for the smallest deep fryer suitable for cooking for two people, as I wanted to minimize oil usage and waste. After thorough research and reading reviews, I decided to get this one mainly because of its ability to reuse oil. Using the fryer to make chips was very easy, and the outcome was excellent—comparable to what I would get at a restaurant. However, I did have difficulties after using it, particularly in collecting the oil for reuse. This process was not as easy as I had thought, requiring some effort to strain out food particles effectively. Moreover, cleaning everything of the fryer was not easy. If was bulky and you could not put everything in the dishwasher. I like the fryer's compact size and excellent cooking results, collecting the oil for reuse and cleaning the fryer afterward proved to be more cumbersome than initially anticipated.

    Really love my deep fryer so far. Cooked my food evenly and I can set temp so it’s cooked consistently at same temp. Additionally, you drain and reuse oil and clean up is easier than cleaning up splatters of grease off stove when frying.

    A decent little fryer. I like that it has temp control, a little slow to reach temp. It’s the perfect size for two people. I don’t like how it’s put together. The outside metal is lightweight and don’t feel very sturdy. I don’t like how the basket hangs off the side, kinda messy when you hang up the basket to let the oil drip off.

    Great fryer for the price. The fryer has better quality food product than just using a pot with oil to fry in. The food comes out crispy and not greasy. The fryer is very easy to clean. The basket looks brand new when you clean it and it cleans easily. It worked so good, I purchased a second one. The basket also fries a bunch of food at once. Food cooks faster in this fryer than in a traditional pot with oil.

    It works, but at 8 cups the oil is too shallow to fry more than just a handful of fries. That said, overfilling it with 12 cups seems to work fine.

    This is a great fryer, uses a good amount of oil to cook for 2 people - we don’t do a lot of frying just French fries or okra but this is well worth the $$$
