Hamilton Beach 2 Liter Professional Deep Fryer, Model 35325

I finally broke down and bought a deep fryer. I found this 2 liter model for $19.88 and figured for that price it was OK if I didn't like it. Well our first batch of chicken tenders my son wouldn't quit talking about, better than Chick-fil-a. I figured there was going to be a mess of splatter to clean up but the counter was CLEAN. Basket has a hook for when you take it out of the oil and you can leave the lid on the basket. It did make a bit of steam and vaporized oil so you don't want to use it under your cabinets.

This is an excellent deep fryer. It doesn't take up too much space on my counter and is very easy to use and clean. I have fried a variety of foods, from french fries to battered chicken. It comes with a lid that has a vent to allow steam to escape and a small window that allows one to see inside while frying. It comes with 1 basket, a removable handle for the basket, the heating element that can be easily lifted out. The fryer itself is made up of 2 separate parts, the outside shell and the inner part that holds the oil, which can be lifted out of the outside shell for easy cleaning. The maximum temperature to which it can be set is 375 degrees Fahrenheit. The ready light comes on when the oil has reached the desired temperature, and it heats up quickly. Fried foods taste great and aren't very greasy either.
