Kalorik 3.1-quart Stainless Steel Deep Fryer

We have purchased many fryers over the last 30 years and have tried all different types from the expensive to less expensive. We use our fryers (we always have two) several times a week, so they get a lot of use. The temperature numbers are starting to wear off (after only a month) but that has happened on the more expensive ones as well although not so quickly. Temperature seems to hold true as the food is nice and crispy. If these last a year with the amount of use they get, then we will be very happy.

This unit heats the oil very fast. I've had it about a month and it is working great. I would have given in 5 stars but the design could be better. The two slats or openings on the top of the lid is for the handle to sit while attached to the wire basket. I prefer not to have any openings on the lid where an insect to crawl into. I just cover the holes when it is in storage.

It looks great, works great, and seems durable. I followed the cooking times on the packages i.e. french fry bag said 3-5 minutes. They all came out perfect. It's great, and inexpensive. Worth every penny!

Bought this a about a month ago and used it the first night we got it to make onion rings and fried mushrooms they turned out perfectly! The oil seems to get hot enough and everything was very crispy. Also the lid is nice to keep the greasy smoke from getting all over my kitchen, cleanup was fairly easy also.
