Overview
A small apartment kitchen can handle this Elite Gourmet fryer because it is an immersion deep fryer with a stainless steel body. Oil fills a non-stick removable container, a heating element warms it, and a vented cool-touch lid covers the pot.
A thermostat and separate indicator lights make it simple to know when the oil is ready. The basket drains on a resting hook, and the heating element removes for cleaning. Capacity limits batch size, and the listing does not describe an oil drain.
Who it's for
Apartments, dorms and single cooks who fry now and then get the use from the compact pot. Anyone frying turkeys or big batches needs a larger fryer.
Pros and cons
- Thermostat with temperature knob
- Lid with view window
- Removable heating element
- Dishwasher safe lid, basket and pan
- Small batch capacity
- Oil drain not described
- Cord length not listed
Performance notes
The immersion element heats oil directly, and the thermostat cycles power to hold the setting up to its upper limit. Oil volume and food load decide how far the temperature drops when food goes in. A vented lid and filter cut splatter and odors, though the oil still needs to be changed regularly.
