Wish it had a digital read for temp. I don’t like the dial and choices of temp. It would be better that once you dial, you got a read out of where it is. I do like this fryer as I had a smaller one and this allows me to cook more at once, I went from two egg rolls to 6 at a time. Despite temp gage reading, i do recommend this fryer.
My neighbor gave this to me for the holiday because he wants to eat all this high fat fried food. The fryer works as expected, but makes a much bigger mess than anticipated and is difficult to clean. Pouring the oil out and cleaning it after every use is a big chore!
This is one of those things SOMEone in the family should have, like a brûlée torch or a punch bowl, to be shared when needed. It works well, easy to use, and not difficult to clean after using. If using for non-protein foods, the cooled oil can be very easily strained and returned to the bottle for a few more uses.
It was easy to set up, however once it gets to the desired temperature, it shuts off and you need to press the tiny reset button to get it back on. I plan on returning/exchanging it.
Excellent to use. Holds temperature well for its size. Compact and lightweight. Not the easiest to drain and clean, however. But a great buy for the price.
