Instructions incomplete
on November 20, 2023
Posted by: tmarkwald
I have bought THREE of these, kept returning them and ALMOST returned the 3rd as well. Nowhere in the instructions does it show the on/off switch - with the short cord I only had one place to set it and that switch was facing away from me. I am now going to finally get to try it.

Better than T-Fal EZ Clean Fryer

This fryer is extremely well made and gets to 350 degrees with no problems. I owned a T-Fal Ultimate EZ-Clean fryer before this one. They look the same but they are so different. The T-Fal is so flimsy compared to this unit. The walls are a much thinner metal, no bottom to the main body and the heating unit never got the oil hotter than 290 degrees. Because of the low operating temperature, the preheat and reheat back to cooking temp took a while. The side handles felt cheap and flimsy when carrying the unit full of oil. After years of use the heating element could only heat the oil to around 220 degrees. The only replacement part available is the magnetic power cord. So, it was time to get a new one.
I was interested in the All-Clad when I bought the first one but couldn’t find any difference in the reviews other than the price and they looked like the same thing.
Right out of the box I was impressed with everything I saw. The built quality was so superior than the T-Fal. The body and handles are strong and secure. I have a real confidence carrying this full of oil. The cooking bowl and basket are basically the same. The bowl is stainless steel and the fry basket is a cheaper chromed metal that will rust in the dishwasher. That’s right my T-Fal basket rusted. I ruined my basket in the dishwasher. Don’t believe the dishwasher safe line. Hand wash for the maximum life. It really doesn’t take that long to clean this unit up.
That’s another thing, after several washes the bright chrome finish will still have oil smudges and smears. My solution, after washing it with soap, was to wipe the unit down with full strength vinegar, rinse and dry. It cut off all the oil and made it shinny again.
The heating element is a superstar compared to the T-Fal. It got to 350 degrees effortlessly and reheated amazingly fast back to 350 while cooking.
The plastic oil box is basically the same, though the T-Fal box doesn’t fit in the All-Clad. Hold the oil box with both hands when you’re pouring the oil out of it. I hold it a little lower than half way, closer to the drain port, with my thumbs holding the top on. Yes, failure to do this will cause a massive cleanup. The lid broke free and oil spilled everywhere my first time.
I did call T-Fal about the low cooking temp when I first got it. They weren’t much help. They said only the elements get to 350 not the oil. Yeah, I didn’t get it either. I used my Thermoworks Thermopen MK4 so I know my reading were good and I never got more than a 290 degree reading. I guess the heating element turns off when it hits 350. I don’t know. I learned to cook with it.
I’m very happy with this purchase and wished I’d went with this All-Clad the first time.

I used the unit once so far to make donuts. I filled the bowl to the maximum line with canola oil. First, it took about 30 minutes to heat to the recipe level of 340 degrees. I submerged only one donut in the oil and noted that the temperature stayed below the target for longer than it should have. I used a ThermoWorks probe thermometer so I could readily see the temperature going below the targeted level even though there was a full bowl of preheated oil and only one room temperature piece of dough. I then raised the temperature higher than 340 and had better success bringing it to an approximate target level, although the temperature kept going up and down in a range of 10 degrees. Perhaps my expectations were too high as a dutch oven on the stove works as well. The advantage of this fryer, however, is that the oil drains and strains automatically once it cools eliminating having to pour it out of a heavy dutch oven into a funnel and straining the leftover oil for the next use. Another negative is that the instruction book is very scant on details if you are new to electric fryers. I had to call the company with questions. I think we will like the appliance once we learn its quirks since it is ready to go for the next use without much preparation.

Great fryer. Keeps the oil at a constant correct temperature and allows for food to get crispy without getting soggy. My only criticism is I wish the lid on the oil keeper fit tighter.

This fryer is so easy to use! It's fairly easy to clean up (except heating element), and heats up very quickly. Only downside is that the fryer oil isn't deep enough for some things to be fully submersed. A taller system would have handled that problem (but it's already quite a big unit). We've fried fish, chicken, tempura everything we could, and french fries. Filter works well too!

My All-Clad kitchen is now complete. I’m a retired Chef, and graduate of The Culinary Institute of America. The only cookware that I have ever used is All-Clad. My first set was a graduation gift to my self. They’re now 25 years old and still look like new. I’ve always wanted a deep fryer for my outdoor kitchen, and patiently waited for my beloved All-Clad to come back in stock. It was worth the wait! I highly recommend anything that All-Clad makes.
