Best Deep Fryer Ever!!!
If you researched this model deep fryer like I did I am sure you read bad things about it and problems people had giving it bad reviews. The deep fryer is not the problem at all guaranteed and all it was in every single bad review I read was “operator error”.
With seeing it and how nice it looked and all the features it has I did research it and found the user manual on the internet. Once I read the user manual it explained to me 100% any bad review I read that someone put up. All the people that left any bad review on it for any problem they had using it never read the user manual first before using it. So do not go by any bad reviews you read that people wrote it because it is phenomenal.
Basically all bad reviews came from people who NEVER read the user manual before using it the first time and if they did read it they NEVER would have had that problems at all.
It has many great features and first one is the oil strainer in the bottom of the screen pan which filters your oil after it cooled that goes into the plastic drain pan. It does filter everything of what you fried out of the oil that goes in the plastic drain pan underneath. I would suggest getting a stainless steel funnel that has a filter that slips in to get all the remaining oil out of the frying pan to put back in your container it came in. I used it probably 10 times and my oil still looks 100% brand new putting it back in the gallon bottle it came in with not one single floating in it from anything I cooked with it.
Do not worry about any oil coming out when using it with the filter on the top cover when you see steam coming out with it trapping all of it. I did a test on it to see how good it was and found no oil came out at all and only steam.
The manual has temperatures and cooking times in it and this is for a full batch and basically suggestions. You may not be making that much so just watch it and check what you are cooking and you will have that all down path.
It has a hanger on the oil pan for the basket to hang on just above the oil to let all the excess oil drain off back into the oil with what you just made when it is done and keeps it warm.
Cleaning is simple where I though it would be a lot of work, but is not at all just using a good dish soap and washing parts in the sink, wipe down, and put in dish strainer to finish drying.
Oil... Get a good one that is refined that has what they call a “high smoke point”. What that means is the oil can withstand a very high temperature and not burn putting a burnt taste in what you just made. Basically look for an oil with a “smoke point” that is as high or higher then the temperature the deep fryer can go up to. So when buying an oil look to see what it’s “smoke point” is rated at.
This deep fryer is beyond awesome and like above read the manual before using it, draining it, and cleaning it. I guarantee you will not have one single problem or complaint like others leaving bad reviews on it where all it was is “operator error” with them not reading the manual.
Then like me you will leave it a phenomenal review.
