This impressive appliance is designed to be easy and safe to use, clean to operate and wash, and it produces exceptional food. It delivers on all accounts. The detailed instructions lead you through the process of heating oil to the correct temperature, then lowering the frying basket into the oil as the lid remains closed. This means that odors and mess are kept inside the fryer. A built-in digital timer times the cooking or can be pre-set, a viewing window lets you check on the food while it's cooking. Safety is built in - the sides of the fryer remain cool, and the hot oil stays inside. When the food is done, raise the basket and serve. The 2.2-pound capacity accommodates ample french fries, calamari, or tempura for four. The whole process makes surprisingly nongreasy food because the oil is heated evenly to the correct temperature.
