Overview
A 2-liter (8-cup) electric deep fryer with cool-touch sides, a viewing window and a lid that lets the basket drain while closed, sized for frying meals for one or two people.
The magnetic breakaway cord shows up in both complaints and praise: a safety feature that also comes with a short published length, measured at 20 inches by one reviewer.
- Removable enamel-coated oil tank
- Adjustable temperature with ready light
- 1500-watt heating element
- Dishwasher-safe removable parts
Who it's for
Suits someone cooking fried food for one or two people who wants a compact fryer that's genuinely cool to the touch during use. Not the right size for larger batches or feeding a family, given the 2-liter tank capacity.
Pros and cons
- Cool-touch sides safe during frying
- Basket drains with the lid still closed
- Uses less oil than larger fryers
- Viewing window limits splatter exposure
- Power cord runs short, about 20 inches
- 2-liter capacity suits only 1-2 servings
- Magnetic cord connector feels bulky to some
Performance notes
An immersed heating element inside the tank allows fast heat-up and steady temperature during frying, at a lower oil volume than larger fryers. Cool-touch sides come from insulated exterior housing around the heating tank, separate from the oil temperature itself.
