Masterbuilt 20010406 Electric Digital Turkey Fryer Review

This does a great job at what it's name says:Electric Turkey Fryer.

I have used propane fryer's in the past, and the oil can take just as long (30-45 mins) to heat up.But with this, there is NO open flame.You can select the temperature of the oil on the dial.

I have used this fryer very successfully for the last three Thanksgiving meals.No muss, no fuss.Pour the peanut oil in, heat 30-45 mins, put the dry (NOT FROZEN!!) turkey in and cook 2-3 mins a pound and wait for some of the best turkey you have ever tasted.

Clean up is a breeze thanks to the bottom spout.I wait for the oil to cool and the put back in the jug it came from.I usually re-use the oil two times before I buy more.

T-Fal FF1035002 Simply Smart fryer Review

I tend to be fairly obsessive about researching items before I purchase them. And if I can't do it online, I'll sometimes spend an hour at a store pushing every button, assessing the feel of the material, and contemplating the functional attributes. One such epic shopping experience took place with this fryer. The store I was at had 6 other fryers, similar in size, but under different brand names (granted, most appliances are manufactured by a hand full of companies). The T-Fal Simply Smart far outpaced all the others in construction quality. The handle, bowl, and lid all seem to be built in a way that means they'll last! While most of it is still plastic, it seems to be of a higher grade and thicker.

I've used it 4 times and opted to buy one for my brother to replace his old fryer. It heats quickly, can heat to 374 degrees (great for sweet potato fries and other fries), and is easy to clean, considering the basket and lid can go in the dishwasher (the manual says the lid can't, but T-Fal's website says it can, hmm... I put it in the dishwasher with no ill affect aside from the discoloration of the inside aluminum). The inner bowl has a non-stick coating which I hope will prevent the caking that happens on older fryers.

My one and only complaint is the latching mechanism is poorly designed. The lid closes and locks extremely well, but when you need to open the lid, it's too well latched for the plastic open button to get the job done. The issue is with the dual latches in the lid. The one closest to the open button releases just fine... it's the one on the other side. To fix this (because I like this fryer that much), I used a razor blade to saw off most of the latch grasper. I left just a little bit to keep it functional and now, it's works like a charm.

Just as the other reviewer mentioned, it also has a thick rubber ring around the lid that seals well to the handle and base. This effectively keeps oxygen exposure to stored oil to a minimum, thus extending its life/lowering the rancidity rate.

Just a few other tid bits... the chord (I'm assuming most manufacturers are going this route) is a magnetic release. It will pop away from the fryer base with the slightest bump. This could be annoying to some, but I'm pretty grateful for it with two dogs and a young nephew running around. It stays connected just fine when undisturbed, which is the whole point.

The exterior stainless portion gets fairly warm when the oil is heated, but it's not so hot you can't hold your hand to it for extended periods of time.

Finally, the fryer has a wider diameter than many of the others... this seems to increase splattering contact with the lid and maybe decrease the basket's depth when lowered. On the flip side, with more surface area than deeper fryers, I can fry bigger batches that cook more evenly. And really, I'm not sure when I'd be frying anything that needed to be deeper in the oil. Well, apple fritters maybe but I suppose I wouldn't use the basket with those?

T-Fal FR4015002 3-Liter Family Pro Deep-Immersion Fryer Review

I like it. Sturdy, unlike my older, cheaper deep fryer, which had anunstable feel to it. Timer is helpful--prevents leaving it on accidentally. Basket is larger than most, so items like FF can be spread out and fry quicker. Only downside is that this model is a little bulky (its squarer than most), especially if you live in a place with limited storage.And there's no real place in/on the unit to store the detachable cord.But this one looks like it will last a long time, and I'm glad I bought it..

Maxi-Matic Elite Platinum Deep Fryer Review

I purchased the 8 quart size ... and am glad I decided on the larger fryer. The baskets are a good size, and I love the dual tanks. The dual tank comes in especially handy for cooking fish, so that flavors don't mix. We used a digital thermometer to check for temperature accuracy ... the left side was about 5 degrees off, and the right side was accurate.

The only complaint ... when cleaning the unit, the temperature scale imprinted on the panel wiped off! There are no indentation marks on the panel to follow, either. So now we pretty much have to remember where the temperature settings were printed on the panel.

This is a pretty big flaw in the product, especially for those who don't have a digital thermometer to check temperature. The rest of the unit seems well made. However, we are so happy with the dual chambers, the basket size, and the performance of the fryer that I probably won't return it.

UPDATE: December 2009

After only using for a few months, smoke started coming out from under the control knob. It smelled like an electrical fire. I contacted Amazon, and they were very good about accepting the return and refunding my money.

I was disappointed to have to return this fryer, as we cooked many very good meals with it! This model still needs a few improvements, such as the temperature markings and the problem with the smoke. If a new, improved version of this fryer comes on the market, I will purchase it again.
