Overview
The Chefman RJ07-45-SS is a 4.5-liter stainless steel deep fryer with a dial-adjustable thermostat, timer, and a lid viewing window so you can check food without lifting it. A magnetic breakaway cord and removable oil container round out the safety and cleanup features.
At 4.5 liters this fryer is sized for batch cooking, wings, whole chicken pieces, or a full basket of fries in one go rather than several small rounds. The stated 1700-watt element and dial thermostat are the mechanism behind that, and reviewers comparing it to smaller fryers point to the basket size as the main reason they kept it.
- 4.5-liter capacity fries a whole basket at once
- 1700-watt element with adjustable dial thermostat
- Lid viewing window and timer
- Magnetic breakaway cord and removable oil container
Who it's for
Fits households that fry regularly enough to want one large basket instead of running several small batches. Less suited to anyone who fries occasionally and would rather have a compact unit taking up less counter space.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers who fry in volume, wings, whole chicken pieces, breaded vegetables, single out the basket size as the reason they prefer this over smaller fryers, and describe the dial thermostat as accurate. Complaints center on the cord: one buyer says the magnetic end melted onto the outlet after months of use and got no response from the company. Another notes the green temperature-ready light is difficult to see clearly.
