Fryer works well, gets hot enough. Love the variety of temperature and easy to work
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thermostat does nothing. Basically a Cornballer.

Was excited to have an appliance that I could use to fry small batches of fish/fries/etc. without the (temperature) guesswork of using a cast iron dutch oven. However the thermostat does nothing. The oil gets hotter and hotter and hotter until it starts smoking. If you've seen Arrested Development and remember the Cornballer, then you get the idea. Out of the box, I set the thermostat on the fryer to 350F, a typical temp to deep fry, and when I checked it with an instant read thermometer, it was 430F—80 degrees off. So this thing basically sits on the shelf and I use my dutch oven instead. It's frankly dangerous.
