I took delivery of the fryer roughly 1 week ago, so my comments below are based on having used it roughly 6 or 7 times so far. br / br /1. Its HUGE, you will need a large space to accomodate and despite the filter in the lid, its kicks out a fair amount of steam, so be wary of low hanging ceilings. br / br /2. It uses a lot of oil, roughly 3.5 litres of vegetable oil, so think ahead and make sure you have the means to filter and clean the oil after each use. Currently I strain the oil (when cold) through some Muslin that is housed inside a 4 gallon pasta pan. I have re-used the same oil each time I've used the appliance and I so far have not had any problems with odours, or greasy food. br / br /3. The fryer is extremely efficient at heating the oil up, I have not had to wait more than 1 minute for it to reach a temperature of 190 C. br / br /4. The basket is large enough to accomodate upto 2 KGs of food, however, as the inner bowl is quite wide, the depth of your oil is maybe only 3 inches, so you need to think ahead in terms of the size of the food going into the fryer. My Turbot fillets got stuck on the bottom of the basket on my first attempt because the oil wasn't deep enough (despite being filled to the MAX level) and the batter wasnt able to seal around the fish. On a plus side though, this means my fish lasts longer as they are cut into smaller fillets :-) br / br /5. This fryer has no facility to help clean the used oil. You simply have to wait until the oils cold, pour the used oil through some muslin to remove the food particles and store the used oil until the next use. br / br /6. Yes most of the components can go into the dishwasher, however in reality this tends to just mean the lid and basket as baked on oil in the inner bowl needs to be removed by something with a bit more abbrasion. br / br /If you want a fryer that you will use every day, buy one with an inbuilt cleaning system. If you want a fryer for occasional use that will present well cooked and tasty meals, buy this one.
