Hamilton Beach 19-Cup/4.5L Electric Deep Fryer with 2 Baskets, Freidora de Aceite, Stainless Steel

It's a pretty “tinny” unit. But it seems to work well and hold the proper temp. I have used it twice so far. I simply remove the heating element n baskets, leave the oil in it. Cover it with the lid n place in my garage fridge after each use. I use deep fry peanut oil, so I will strain n continue to reuse the oil for a few more fries.

it has no stopping for the uses. I have at home. I had to buy a french fry slicing unit for my making a french fries I now take time to request information regarding to the temperature in the fry time of different things I put in there. It's worth the purchase that I put into it for when I'm getting back.

This is a high quality oil fryer; the brand I used in my teenage days...over fifty years ago. Due to the higher wattage, it heats up fast %26 does not lose its heat. Norm

I purchased this fryer for a family feed. My grand daughter made french fries that were very good and just "toast" brown and took 9 to 10 minutes. You have to tend to them . When she was finished I prepared a pint of fresh steamer clams and battered them. 365 degrees for 2-1/2 minutes and they were golden brown and done perfectly. We thought we were sitting on the coast in Maine enjoying a fried clam dinner with fries. Absolutely fantastic. The cover has a small window to check progress and a vent to release steam away from you and everything fits together very nicely. Read the instructions on how to put the handles on the baskets. It comes with 3 baskets, 1 large and 2 small that are almost 1/2 the size of the large basket. Very versatile and I'm glad I bought it. Yeah, More fried clam, please!

absolutely the very best deep fryer we have ever owned. We loved it so much this is the second one we have purchased now. The second one was for our vacation home so that we don't have to be without the luxury of using something so amazing that works so great! I would recommend this fryer to any family that needs to cook a larger amount at one time. We have a family of 5 without company stopping by and this is something we couldn't live without!

I really enjoyed using this fryer no burnt chicken but for my countertop space I should have ordered the smaller one, then for 3 grown growing men I am glad that I picked and stuck with this size....clean up to me was very easy but it requires a lot of oil....

This is the second time I purchased this deep fryer. Unfortunately, the first one kicked the bucket after a few years. I tried another brand, but it wasn't as good as this; so, I had to buy this again.

Maintained heat as I expected, fried a good amount of food at one time and was overall very satisfactory. I'm glad that I bought it and would purchase it again.

I really like this deep fryer. It does very well frying chicken and fish. It cooks fast and its really great for frying a lot or a little. It's very easy to clean too.

My package should up good.
