Overview
A dual-compartment electric deep fryer with a removable divider, letting you fry two different foods at once or combine the space for larger batches. It holds up to 8 servings and runs at a fixed 1500-watt frying temperature.
The divider is the main feature, keeping, say, fish and fries from mixing in the oil, and it lifts out when the full basin is needed for bigger pieces. The thermostat runs at one automatic temperature rather than a dial you set yourself, which a couple of long-time owners point out is by design for consistent frying rather than a missing feature. The snap-on lid lets you store oil in the fryer between uses, though it should only go on once the unit has fully cooled.
- Up to 8 servings of fries
- 1500-watt cast aluminum body
- PFAS-free ceramic nonstick finish
- One-year warranty
Pros and cons
- Fries two foods separately with the divider
- Removable divider for larger batches
- Nonstick body cleans up easily
- Snap-on lid stores oil for reuse
- Only one fixed frying temperature
- Real capacity smaller than party-size
- Lid can melt if closed while hot
Performance notes
A cast aluminum body with a ceramic nonstick, PFAS-free interior holds oil at one automatic frying temperature set by the thermostat. The removable divider splits the basin for two foods, or lifts out for larger batches or bigger pieces of fish or chicken.
