Hamilton Beach Cool Touch Electric Deep Fryer with Basket and Lid, 2 Liters / 8 Cups Oil Capacity, Adjustable Temperature, 1500 Watts for Fast Heat-up, viewing Window Easy to Clean, Black (35021)

This deep fryer was easy to assemble, the basket, and the instructions were easy to read and comprehend. The lid is very useful and keeping the splattering oil from going everywhere. We cooked fried chicken, onion rings, and french fries. It’s easy to watch the items cook through the window at the top, but it’s also easy to open and close while cooking not disturbing the heat of the oil. Reading the instructions it did say not to set the chicken on the basket first and this was my mistake as it did stick to the basket. Placing the basket in the oil and then placing the chicken in the oil solved that problem. Highly recommend. I would say the only negative is that it’s small and I was only able to do three pieces of chicken legs at a time. However, for a couple this would be the ideal machine to get. It just takes longer if you have more than two people.

What I like most is that I can use this indoors without my whole house smelling like grease. The filter in the lid seems to work very well! The oil temperature, though, is questionable for the highest 375 degrees. It takes a really long time to get fully heated, and the temperature light doesn't seem to work correctly when at range. So far, my handheld temperature probe has not shown it to reach the top temperature at all. It does get hot enough, however, for the foods I have tried so far: chicken, chimichangas, poppers, and sopapillas. I like the size of the basket, as it provides plenty of room to use tools for turning items over. I limited my larger foods to a count of three and smaller foods to eight/ten. Fried foods are a treat, but not something we would eat daily, so it will take time to try more things. I think it is worth its cost so far. It is easy to take apart and clean. I would be more impressed if the temperature was more precise and the "ready" light worked better.

Read the instructions. It's simple to use and it is friendly. I love it. Doesn't take up a lot of space. My lumpia came out delicious abd perfect. Can't wait to deep fry my fish fir Sunday dinner.

Great buy!Light weight. And super easy to clean , all the parts come apart easily for clean up.Heats up fast. Cooks enough french fries for 3.Only holds maybe 3 chicken drumsticks at a time thoughI love that it keeps the smell to a minimum. My whole house doesn't smell bad after use. If u open a window for a bit, it helps eliminate all the fried odorsLove that it's not hot to touch because sometimes my daughter cooks in the kitchen with meIt's easy to store in the closetDef recommend!
