Have used it at least 8 times so far, and have had no problems with the function or electronics or anything. It does cook well, and it is nice and easy to clean once you have the oil drained (just throw most of it into the dishwasher!). However, one of the reasons that I requested this fryer was for the draining system, and I am pretty disappointed in it. I was hoping for something a little more sophisticated then just a simple valve that opens, like maybe a built-in filter and a reservoir to hold the oil. If you want to drain the oil, you have to first find a nice container to use to store the oil in. Then you have to try and hold this container up to the valve, along with a strainer or other filter to keep the oil clean, and I found you also need a funnel to keep the oil from running all over the place. While holding all of these items under the valve, you then have to try and open the valve.

I am so glad I did! This fryer cooks 3 pounds of food perfectly! I made a ton of homemade potato chips tonight. This fryer is easy to use and easy to clean, and, as a bonus, it's easy to drain so you can save your oil.
When I was a teenager I worked at Burger King, and cooking with this fryer made me feel like I was at the fry station again (not that I want to relive that feeling). But, really, it has an actual basket that lowers into the hot oil and it has a place to set the basket so when your food is done it drains properly. My Chinese chicken and broccoli has never tasted so good! This fryer is a gem. If you like to cook and want to cut down your cooking time on foods such as french fries, chicken, fish for tacos etc..., then this is definitely a purchase to make. Amazon has free shipping on this fryer which is why I bought it...Read more 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful: By Samantha Waggoner "Samantha Waggoner" (Bucklin, Missouri, USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: DeLonghi D24527DZ Dual Zone 3-Pound-Capacity Deep Fryer (Kitchen) This is the far best fryer I have ever owned.
Took some getting use to with the magnet plug. Once I learned how to use the plug everything was and is great with the fryer. Cooks fast and even. You must have all items ready to go when using this product. I can have supper cooked less then 10 mins. I love that I'm able to save oil, since all I use is peanut oil. Looks great on the counter. Very easy to clean, everything goes into the dishwasher execpt heating element, which all you have to do with it is rinse with scolding hot water and a little soap and comes very clean. I love it!!! Makes frying foods fun and not a job. I cooked fried chicken in it and it came out crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. I have not fried chicken in years due to huge mess it makes, but this fryer made it easier. If you are looking for a good looking and great fryer this is the one you should buy. |
