What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers consistently point to the vented lid as the standout feature, saying it keeps oil splatter off the counter compared to open stovetop frying, and several use it for scratch-made foods beyond the frozen items covered in the manual. The recurring gripes are a short power cord and temperature readings that run a bit below the set point, along with a heat-up time some call slower than expected.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Vented lid lets you fry with the lid closed, cutting splatter
- 8-cup food capacity handles group-size batches
- Basket hook lets oil drain back into the tank hands-free
- Removable heating element and dishwasher-safe basket and lid
- Actual oil temperature runs somewhat below the dial setting
- Power cord is short, may need an extension cord
- Takes several minutes to heat a full 12-cup oil fill
Performance notes
The immersed heating element is meant to bring oil up to temperature faster than a coil under the tank, and the ready light signals when it's reached the set point. Reviewers who checked with a separate thermometer found actual temperature running roughly 5-10 degrees under the dial setting, and full heat-up to around 375F takes several minutes given the tank holds up to 12 cups of oil.
