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!
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.
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.
