Farberware,Deep Fryer, Clear,2QT Round Capacity,Stainless Steel,Detachable Basket.

This 1.9L Farberware Deep Fryer is perfect when cooking smaller amounts. The handled basket makes it easy to insert and remove from fryer safely. The notched lid allows you to cover fryer while cooking to prevent splatters. It has a nice range of temperatures to select from so you can fry a variety of different foods. The magnetic plug makes it easy to connect to fryer. Overall, this fryer seems to be well made, easy to use and clean up. It is a really nice fryer!

I love this fryer. Its compact and simple and the lid ensures that there is no messy grease splatter! We made a batch of french fries and they were great. Heated the oil quickly, doesn't take up much space, and is very simple and easy in design. The only weird thing about it is that our french fries had instructions to heat the fryer to 400, but the temperature of the fryer only goes up to 375. Not sure if that will ever be an issue, but worth mentioning. We used 375 for the fries and they were great :) The huge caution sticker on the cord was really annoying and did not peel off easily, left a lot of residue on the cord. But I still like the fryer, even with a sticky cord.

This is a great space saving fryer for small spaces and/or 1-2 people. I like the ability to control the temperature more precisely than low/medium/high like many other compact fryers allow. The fry basket is a bit small, and I wish the handle grooves were off to the side of the unit instead of the front of the unit. Otherwise - it’s a great compact deep fryer.

This half gallon deep fryer is just what I needed to cook up a batch of crappie filets. For a small fryer, it has all the bells and whistles that you would hope to find on larger units. You can set the cooking temp with the turn of a dial. There are indicator lights for power and to notify you when the set temperature has been reached and it's ready for cooking. We cooked a couple dozen fish filets for our first try and boy did they come out great. I really like that I don't have to use so much cooking oil with the size of this fryer. The basket is designed so it can hang and drain your items which is very convenient and helps keep the mess down.

This is a Farberware 1.9 L round deep fryer. This fryer has a lid, a basket with detachable handle and a power cord that magnetically connects to the back of the fryer. The temperature control goes to 375°. There are two lights. The power light and the ready light. The inside of the fryer has markings to show the minimum and maximum levels to fill the fryer. Assembling this fryer was very easy. I made homemade french fries the first time I used my fryer. It took approximately 20 minutes for the oil to heat to 375. This is not a large fryer but I got a nice amount of fries to fit inside comfortably and to cook properly. The operation manual suggests not to fry anything without the basket. I prefer using the basket anyway just because it is a lot easier to remove your food quickly and easily and all at once. Inside the operation manual is also has a list of different foods, the Temps at which to cook them and how long to cook them for. I like this fryer. It's small and compact. The basket comes apart and fits neatly inside the fryer for storage. I think this fryer Cooks well. I also think Farberware is a nice value for the cost and I would recommend this little fryer is a good value to others.

So I know most of us have moved away from frying and toward healthier ways of preparing food, but every once in awhile the only way to prepare something is fried, or something just tastes better that way (okra, potatoes, green tomatoes). My husband would have fried potatoes at every meal if he could, so we tried cooking those first. The connection between the pot and the electrical cord is magnetic. Operation is simple-you plug it is, wait till the oil heats (takes just a few minutes) and the green light comes on, add your food to the basket, submerge the basket and wait for your food to cook. I only gave it 4 stars because you don’t get anything to stir the ingredients in the basket with. The potatoes cooked very well and were very tasty but they were stuck to each other when we dumped them from the basket. I like very much that you can raise the basket from the hot oil and clip the basket to the side of the fryer to let a lot of the hot oil drain back into the fryer. You waste less oil that way and your food does not taste so greasy. After we let it drain we dump the food on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the last of the oil and to season it. I love that I don have to temp the oil to know where it is. The potatoes we cooked just right-crispy but not burnt. I guess now I just have to find a place to store it.

As a busy mom I always appreciate new appliances and ease of use. I was given the opportunity to review this Farberware 1.9 L oil fryer in my home. My review is of utmost honesty as with all my reviews. Upon receipt : took product out of box it came with the unit, lid, basket and instruction manual. The drop in basket was the only unassembled item which was easy to put together with just a pinch of the prongs to slide in notable handle placement. The cord does not come attached which I do appreciate because it is easier to store when the cord comes off. BUT (thus 4star review) the cord is a magnetic attachment which means it does not fully attach to a well established hold. At first I made sure I had it right side up and I tried both upside down and right side up. Then upon referring to manual it is a magnetic attachment and obviously does not snap in place. So once magnet plug in attached you plug it in. The only downfall is if its not sitting perfect the attachment comes undone so you have to get it in just the right placement. The oil line is well marked. The temperature dial is easy to turn and well marked but the dial just has a raised line pointer so it is kind of hard to see if you have bad eyesight and it is kind of confusing with an array of lines on one side and numbers on the other. The only side that heats up is the side with the numbers and feel the array in no needed. This is a small fryer would be perfect for a dorm or single person fryer with a small family. I could cook 14 min corn dogs in a single layer which would be about 2 -3 people serving size. Besides the plug issue this is an amazing product cooks even and stays temperature.

I used this fryer to make beignets. I like the different temperature settings and the green Ready button made it easy to tell when my oil was the right temperature. The instructions say not to use the fryer without the basket and lid. I like how the lid sat over the basket handle, but it was just in the way as I needed to flip the beignets often. The basket is small and also proved to just be in the way, as I preferred to remove my food with a slotted spoon. The oil temperature remained consistent and the beignets were fried perfectly. Cleaning it, however, is ridiculous. According to the instruction manual, everything is hand wash only and the metal insert inside the fryer is not removable. My older fryer goes into the dishwasher! While I found the fryer to be a bit too small, I liked the controls and how the lid sat over the basket handle. But I will avoid using this thing because I dread cleaning it.

This fryer while it looks good with the aluminum body feels very flimsy. The capacity for frying is very small and the design of the lid makes it very difficult to reload and fry in batches. It’s ok for maybe a one person little fryer but could be much more sturdy.

I tried using it several times and my family and I were very excited to try it out. It would not even turn on and I tried the oil in it and nothing happened and I had to finally give up. Must have received a defective one and was to aggravated to even return and try another. Would not recommend
