Overview
The Elite Gourmet EDF-1607 is a compact 800W immersion deep fryer with a 1.6 quart oil capacity, holding up to 4.5 lb of food per batch. It has a thermostat knob up to 375°F and a viewing window in the lid.
This is a single-serving to two-person fryer; several reviewers stress how small the actual cooking capacity is despite the stainless steel exterior looking substantial. The mesh basket does not lift out of the base, which reviewers flag as the main cleaning inconvenience.
- 1.6 quart oil capacity, up to 4.5 lb of food per batch
- 800W heating element with adjustable thermostat to 375°F
- Lid with viewing window and replaceable odor filter
- Power and ready indicator lights show when oil is up to temperature
Who it's for
Works for one or two people frying small batches like fries, wings, or a piece of fish, especially in a small kitchen. It is not sized for feeding a family or frying in volume.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers who bought it for one or two servings are generally satisfied with how quickly it heats and fries. The recurring frustrations are a basket that cannot be removed for cleaning and, in one case, a power cord with a manufacturing defect that stopped the unit from turning on at all.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Compact footprint suits a single serving or two
- Viewing window lets you monitor frying without opening the lid
- Heats up quickly, ready in a minute or two per one reviewer
- Mesh basket does not detach, making cleanup harder
- At least one report of a defective power cord
- Replacement odor filters need periodic reordering
Performance notes
The 800W element heats the enclosed oil bath to the set thermostat temperature, and the lid's viewing window lets you watch frying without lifting it and losing heat. Because the basket is fixed to the base rather than removable, cleaning means washing it while still attached, which several reviewers call the unit's main drawback.
