Hamilton Beach Professional Style 1500W Electric Deep Fryer

Very easy to use. Works really well

Little did I pay attention to the size when ordering. After the fact I read 12 Cups? 96 oz of oil max. The minimum amount of oil is 64oz. I was like oh my goodness this is going to be too large. Well it is not it is the prefect size. I can fry two chicken breasts which is perfect for me. Maybe you could do a third but it is just simply much easier to do two at a time. Cooks them to a perfect brown color and fully cooked in 15 minutes.

It is extremely easy to clean as everything comes apart. The heating element slides onto the side. The fry pot is just a pot that sits in the shell. The base and handle come apart easily but stays together when using it. The cord is magnetic and if it gets yanked while in use it just pops off but stays secure when in use.

This is just a very nice fryer.

Es fácil de usar, no ocupa mucho espacio además de ser fácil de limpiar

I got this for my husband because he loves making homemade onion rings. But I wanted to give it 4 star because it works so well he has been using it every single day! That’s not good! He just wants to fry everything! He has even been making deep fried oreos! Omg so good, but I’m supposed to be on a diet. We both have high cholesterol already and I fear I made a mistake purchasing this. Ugh. If only the air fryer could make food taste as good.
The struggle is completely real. 😫

-Awesome fryer! Amazing! Not too big or bulky and doesn’t take up too much counter space. Heats in roughly 7-10 minutes (375degrees) and cooks phenomenally! Can easily fit a bag of frozen french fries, 8-15 frozen fish fillets, 20-25 chicken wings, and countless tater tots. Fries clean and easy.
– I love the see-through lid and just the lid itself, makes me feel better about frying because grease isn’t popping out. The basket clips onto the rim to help drain grease and clean-up is easy.
– I don’t like the magnetic power cord because it’s very short and often comes off but you get used to it. Frozen fries, and fish sticks only take about 2-4 min to cook at 375, so make sure to watch it because it doesn’t take long for stuff to cook. I want to fry everything in this magnificent machine, because of it’s ease of use, consistency of foods cooked throughout, and overall ease of handling. I will have one of these forever. Bye bye to frying in pots or pans.

After using this fryer a number of times times now, I am wondering why I didn’t go with a simpler Fry Daddy or electric skillet. This fryer heats up fast and fries nicely – especially smaller items like chicken tenders and french fries. However, there are many design drawbacks. First, it uses a lot of oil. You’ll need a quart just get past the minimum fill line. The immersive heating element alone takes up about 1/2 inch of oil and prevents the basket from going deeper into the oil. There is no pour lip to make emptying used oil easier. There are a lot of parts to clean and it can get messy (frying container, basket, lid, heating element). The heating control unit slides into place on one end but does not lock – so the whole thing can slip apart if you try to pick it up from both ends. The 24″ electric cord is very short and the magnetic connector plug pulls away easily. Overall, it does a good job of frying food quickly without having to constantly flip or turn the pieces, but all these drawbacks are annoying.

I’ve been using this Hamilton Beach Professional Grade Deep Fryer for a few months now, and it’s become a staple in my kitchen. If you love the taste of deep-fried food but hate the mess and hassle of traditional fryers, this one is a game-changer.
