I had a number of concerns with this item. Number 1, it does not reach over 330 degrees when on the hottest setting. 2. The basket is too small and could be a lot bigger. 3. The lid comes off too easily, and is hard to replace when actively cooking. 4. Cleaning is quite a chore.
It´s small, and that’s both good and bad. You can’t cook very much at a time, so it’s only good for one or two people, but it doesn’t take a lot of oil to fill it, and it doesn’t occupy much pantry space for storage. The shape of the fry basket is good, maximizing the capacity of the fryer. After cooking, I let the oil cool, then pour it through a strainer into a jar for storage in the fridge, so the oil can be used again.
Great product that's exactly what I needed it's the perfect size for one or two people. Heats up fast and easy to clean and it's well built I would definitely recommend it.
I love my mini fryer - I’ve already used it several times since purchased about a month ago. Works great for me and my small families needs. We use it for making our own tortillas chips and taco shells.
