Overview
A kitchen counter is where this fryer belongs, since it is certified for indoor use. The porcelain coated inner pot holds the oil and the fryer body is built to contain it, and the same unit boils and steams other large cuts.
Frying a whole bird indoors is the reason to own it; the pot design is built to stop oil boiling over the sides, and the XL edition takes a bigger turkey than the standard model. The limitation is that the listing gives no wattage, so heat-up time depends on a figure you have to find elsewhere.
Who it's for
Holiday cooks with no safe outdoor space for a propane fryer get an indoor option that also boils and steams. A small apartment kitchen with limited counter depth may struggle with the footprint. Cooks who want a small everyday deep fryer for fries should choose a smaller unit.
Pros and cons
- Certified for indoor countertop use
- Takes a larger turkey than the standard model
- Uses less oil than a conventional fryer
- Also boils and steams
- Wattage not listed
- Heavy and deep for a small counter
- Listed as the old version
- No timer or controls described
Performance notes
The result depends on the heating element bringing the oil back to temperature after the cold bird goes in, and the included thermometer is how you check that recovery. The reduced oil volume means less oil to heat but also less thermal mass, so lowering the turkey slowly matters. The strainer basket lifts the bird clear so oil drains back into the pot.
