Other notable innovations include the PrestoBurger hamburger cooker in 1974, the FryBaby electric deep fryer in 1976, the SaladShooter electric slicer/shredder in 1988, and the Pizzazz pizza oven in 2000.

55 customers mention16 positive39 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the oil level of the deep fryer. They mention that it takes too much oil to use, the basket is not fully out of the oil when raised, and the food sits in oil. The indicator is a little high and the oil will touch the basket's contents when the fryer is lifted. The temperature sensor does not bring the oil to the indicated temperature, and oil does get everywhere with higher temps.

"...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..." Read more

"...-Bin is wider than most but oil level in the basket is still shallow making you use up a LOT of oil for very little usable cooking volume...." Read more

"...I also really like that it doesn't take much oil." Read more

"...But it appears oil could get inside the control panel from underneath the temp control knob. But hey, this fryer gets with the program!..." Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Tostadas and wings any time!
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2020
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.
