I’ve been searching for a good deep fryer for years. I love fried foods, especially chicken wings. I can’t get great wings where I live so I started the adventure of making my own.
There are TONS of deep fryers to choose from, but this caught my attention because of its size. I’ve fried foods using the stovetop before so I knew I needed something that can fit more than 3 chicken wings at a time. Also, I needed a fryer that was durable. I am clumsy and break stuff all the time so I needed it to be tough, durable, and easy to use.
Setup was a breeze. Not too many sharp edges or anything I can hurt myself on. The cord is super short, maybe a foot long. It’s magnetic so I needed to make sure I had a power supply close. I mounted a surge protector on the back of a table in my garage. This allowed me to not cook in the house so it doesn’t stink it up, but I can easily plug and unplug the unit with no issues and it’s not in danger of getting pulled out.
The thermostat actually lies in the oil so you get a good idea of the oil temperature. It’s extremely easy to put on an take off. There is even a safety function so if it’s not on correctly it shouldn’t power the unit on. MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR OWN DIGITAL THERMOMETER TO ENSURE EXACT OIL TEMPERATURE!!!
One the fryer is set up, just dump your oil in and it’s ready. Heat up time is about 20 minutes. I would fill it more than 4 quarts if you are planning a lot of frying or doing real big fried chicken. Great thing about this is you can take the baskets out and just use the fryer alone and it frees up some room. Plus batter doesn’t stick to the basket. You need some fryer tongs or a strainer if some sort but the option is there. I’m looking forward to making donuts this way.
I used this fryer 6 times before I had to change the oil (I use peanut oil. It has a low smoke point and tastes identical to restaurants. I’ve been able to find it by the gallon for as low as $12 on sale, Wallymart usually sells 3 gallons for about $35 which is a great deal.)
Cleanup was much ‘easier’ than I expected. I saved the old oil bottle so I had a place to put the used oil (just use a funnel). I had no idea if any of it was reusable so the whole 4 quarts were dumped and sent to recycling. I’m not sure how us regular folks strain oil to reuse it. Restaurants have big machines they use to filter it again and again.
Once oil was out just wiped it all down, rinsed the baskets (the handles even fold in for easy storage) and filled it back up with fresh oil to the fill line on the oil container. And done.
I’ve had the product for about a month and a half and have used it well over 10 times. It doesn’t get too hot anywhere on the unit that I have noticed. The cover is great because it helps with splashing and spitting of the oil. When the unit is full and turned on, ALWAYS BE CAUTIOUS OF THE BASKETS IN THE FRYER!!!! It’s easy to get a sweatshirt or something to pull the basket while frying and then you will have a giant bad accident to deal with. BE SAFE AND SMART! READ THE DIRECTIONS! If you do this you shouldn’t have a problem.
I am successfully making chicken wings, fried shrimp, mozzarella sticks, fries and more with ease. I’ve started making most of it from scratch and the food is definitely restaurant quality. some of it is very tough and it’s a trial and error process but the reward is delicious!!!

This is my second one.
The picture is the new one that I bought a bit ago. It is the same one I got many years ago and it was time to replace it as I couldn't get it as clean as I wanted but it still worked, after years of use. We used it hard too. My grandson showed up and asked can I have the old one and now he has it at his place and still using it. This one is just as good, it is the same one to a Tee. I thank them for making a great product that I was scared before I got this one. Has two baskets and can make a lot of fried food fast. It does take a few minutes to get to 350 degrees, but after that it is on. I do hope this helps as I search this one out and couldn't believe it was still around.
