Amazon.com Review
The FryMate Plus from Black & Decker takes all the guesswork out of frying in your home kitchen. Heat settings from Warm to 375 degrees, and a heating indicator light help with setting the FryMate to just the right temperature for any food, and a quick preparation guide on the front of the unit gives cooking temperatures for fries, doughnuts, chicken wings, and more. A 15-minute timer helps measure the countdown to the perfectly fried fish stick or jalapeno popper. During frying, the FryMate's ThermaGuard base protects the user from burns, and the handle raises or lowers the basket for spatter-free cooking. The breakaway cord adds one more safety feature. To keep the house from smelling like a diner, charcoal and mesh filters cut down on unpleasant odors. The cooking pot holds up to eight cups of tasty tidbits, is nonstick for quick cleaning, and can even be placed in the dishwasher. --Maile Bohlmann

Summary: Does not reach temperature - Result is soggy food 2004-06-24
Comment: I purchased the Black & Decker DF250 because I was looking for a fryer with a larger capacity than what I already had (an older T-FAL Fryer.) I will say I like the size of the Black & Decker & I love that it has a removable pot; however I purchased the fryer to fry food.This fryer simply does not get hot enough to properly fry food. With the heat set to the max at 375 I waited for the light to indicate the oil had reached the proper frying temperature and I used a candy thermometer to find that my oil had only reached a temperature of 345 degrees, which did not increase after waiting an additional 5 minutes. When I dropped my Fries in the oil the temperature drops to a point where it does not even sizzle. The result is a soggy fry that taste like oil. Even when using a small amount of fries (which defeats the purpose of the larger basket) I end up with a soggy fry that taste horrible. I tried using this fryer on four separate occasions and received the same result every time. Unfortunately, I threw away the box & did not keep the receipt or this thing would have gone back to the store. I have pulled the T-FAL fryer back out & put the Black & Decker in a storage room where it will sit until one day I decide to clean my storage room & I throw it away. I am hoping that is does not hurt as bad if I throw it away in a couple years as I think it will hurt to bad to throw it away after just a couple of months. Do yourself a favor and pass on this fryer. I absolutely recommend the T-FAL fryer. Although the one I have does not have a removable pot, which makes it hard to clean, it reaches temperature quickly and produces nice crisp French fries that taste great every time.

Summary: Black and Decker is the best 2002-09-28
Comment: If you do not like frying foods this item is for you.
You don't have to bother with grease, and the instruction booklet accurately tells you how long to cook the food. No more checking on your foods, and dealing with grease. Great product!! I would buy more.
