I love Amazon as they never ever disappoint! This is the Best Deep Fryer ever! Easy to clean up, especially the basket! Nice size! One pound batch of Shrimp for example. We use a Taylor Pro Kitchen Deep Fry Thermometer in conjunction with it for accurate temps. Now mind you we've had about every type of deep fryer their is over many yrs.. I'll just say we're a senior citizens, lol. We use a gas, stove, can't speak for electric. Should be the same though, maybe a little longer getting up to temp is all. Great pot for rice, boiling water, etc. Oh, handle doesn't get hot but we use a hot pad anyway. Uses 48 oz. of cooking oil. Durability, lifetime unless ran over by a dozer are something. $10 Thermometer, once in awhile maybe but it's made pretty solid as well.

It sure uses allot of oil to get high enough to use the basket. I had been using an electric and that was the first thing that hit me. It took 2 bottles of oil compared to 1 for the electric. For the same amount of basket capacity. This is due to the deep space between the bottom of the basket and the bottom of the pot, not to mention the smaller and larger diameters. However, once you get past that minor complaint, it is a good pot. Mind you that you get what you pay for. It is not the heaviest gauge metal in the world. But it is just thick enough so that the pot does not feel cheap.
