Hamilton Beach 21-Cup/5L Electric Deep Fryer with Basket, Freidora de Aceite, Stainless Steel

This thing is gigantic. Seriously. It takes 3.5 standard bottles of oil to fill. It heated up just as fast as our old deep fryer. Only down side is the lid is not attached, you have to have somewhere ready to set the lid. And the hook to prop the basket up is low enough that it is covered in oil, dripping the oil down the front.

Great fryer. Light weight but durable. Super easy clean up and easy to pour oil out of pan when done. Heats up quickly -about 15 minutes to get to 350 degrees. And maintains heat pretty good when adding food. Makes great fish and fries and going to try chicken next and so many other foods. The only con that I do not care for- the short cord. Cooking with hot oil should not be too close to a wall or in my case, I use it outdoors and do not want it that close to my house so need extension cord. Other point is that even though I appreciate the safety feature of the magnetic cord for easy release- it is super annoying that you have to prop up the cord because the weight of the cord pulls it right out. Feel there could be a little better design for the cord but I love this thing so much still giving 5 star. Going to place an order for a 2nd one to keep at our other home. Sam's price is best around for this appliance.
