Not a uni-tasker! Overall a good value February 26, 2008

I had one of those electric deep fryers that only did deep frying. Hard to clean, not very big, smelly.
This one is a dream to clean. Take the plug off and put it in the dishwasher! How easy is that?
It's good size. I used it to make doughnuts and it will hold 4-5 at a time. The strainer basket is nice. The handle folds in so you can store it easily.
Downside: It takes a while for the oil to heat to correct temp. The ready light is NOT a good indicator of the temp. I use a candy thermometer. But the candy thermometer won't fit (mine is a clip on) while the basket is in place. Takes a few minutes after the ready light goes on to reach temp. Also, the little footpads seem to stick to my countertop. I suspect those things will come off after a while.
I bought this primarily to deep fry in, but have used it to steam vegies. Does a fine job at that. Have not tried it out as a rice cooker yet.
Overall, a good value. Price was right and it really is easy to clean.

An excellent product, quick and safe.
Most of my friends prefer this item.
It would be the best if the cable was a little longer.
Great product! October 6, 2007

This is a very nice product to have. It saved me money on having to buy a rice cooker, deep fryer, and a deep pot. I already have a slow cooker which I also love, but I highly recommend this product for anyone who wants more than one machine but not have more than one in the house. This does it all! Its great for deep frying because of the handy basket that comes with it, it's great for draining that oil and not having to burn yourself if you accidently drop a french fry back in the pot. Great Product!
 beware: this is not a fryer September 15, 2007

this item is not a fryer. It is underpowered for that use. I tried to use as a fryer: the oil takes a very long time to come up to temp (375 max), the recovery time after adding the cold food is very slow, resulting in oily food. Its possible to cook 10 wing pieces, but frozen french fries will completely overwhelm this units ability to keep up.
It probably works just fine as a steamer/vegtable cooker, but if you want a indoor fryer look for 1800 watts of cooking power. Better yet, do what I did: buy a "turkey fryer" set up, and cook with propane (outside on the back porch). Propane provides real power to cook family sized loads of food quickly and easily. In my opinion all of the electric fryers- even the 1800 watt subbersible element models- are for small load frying. If youre cooking for 6 or 8, or are having a football party, etc, the exterior gas cooker gives you the performance and capacity that's similiar to the restaurant fryers speed and quality. Its all about getting the oil to 395 degs and having the power to keep it there.
