Amazon Basics 2.1-Qt (2.0L) Electric Deep Fryer with 8-Cup Oil Capacity, Timer, Adjustable Temperature, Easy Draining Basket, Viewing Window, 1500W, Black

One could deep fry in a sauce pan with a wire insert basket (I have one of those) or one could use a fryer specific implement. The advantage of this deep fryer is that the temperature is automatically controlled thus providing for a smoother operation and better outcomes. I've prepared onion rings, shrimp and potatoes. It is making me seem as though I am a "good" cook. Chicken and eggplant are the next two adventures. Beyond having a remarkable coating/batter for the item one fries the other is using a sufficient amount of lard/tallow/bacon fat. Do not allow the volume to drop to "Minimum" - don't be cheap with the stuff one fries in. I avoid seed oils. Fill it up toward "Maximum" and fry right. I believe this tool works well when preparing meals for 4 or fewer. It is not for cooking for crowds. The dishwasher cleaning the basket has been super. Thus far it has shown quality and ease of use. I can and do recommend you to consider it for a low cost high value kitchen implement for small quantities.

This deep fryer is exactly what I needed. It cooks my fried chicken perfectly every time—crispy on the outside and juicy inside. It heats up quickly, maintains the temperature well, and the controls are very easy to use. Clean-up is also surprisingly simple thanks to the removable parts. The size is just right for family meals, and it feels sturdy and well-made. Definitely worth the purchase!

Great little fryer for the price! It heats up fast, cooks evenly, and delivers perfectly crispy results. The size is ideal for small to medium batches, and the viewing window is a nice touch. Cleanup is easy, too. The controls are simple, and it’s not meant for big groups, but for everyday frying it works really well. Solid value overall!

It works as advertised. The basket does not lay flat on the heating element, so slightly tilted. No big deal. However, if you add oil to the max level, it does not even cover the top of a wing section, so I added enough to do so with no issues. A filter on the lid would have been nice. All in all the price is right for what you get. Wings and fries came out perfect.

Compact, simple and easy to clean. I’ve had larger deep fryers in the past, but the simplicity of this one is manageable and something that I can actually clean easily and not waste oil.

The Amazon Basics 3.2-Qt Deep Fryer has been a great addition to my kitchen. It fries evenly and heats up fast, but what really impressed me is how easy it is to clean. The parts come apart easily which makes cleaning very easy The oil container is simple to empty dissasemble and wash. For anyone who hates taking apart complicated fryers as much as I do, this fryer is a win. Great performance, good size, and super low maintenance—definitely worth it!

It’s for a small family and done a great job, it’s simple to use

Works fine, but the lights don't work correctly. When you plug it in, the Power light should come on, and when the oil is hot, the Ready light should come on. Instead, the Ready light comes on as soon as you plug it in. The Power light may or may not come on at all. Other than that I've had no issues.

Muy buen producto bastante practico

Very nice Fryer

No me gustó el cable alimentador de luz..demasiado corto y el enchufe que conecta a la freidora se chispa al mínimo movimiento

Still using it,,,,works great

Fonctionne bien fait de bonnes frites le seul problème la poignée se fixe pas solidement et se referme , dangereux pour se brûler .
