I've been eying this deep fryer for months and watched it go up from $109 to $120. Now it is $74 so I snagged one...

Had my eye on that one for a while as well. Might need to pull the trigger at that price.-

The correct answer there is "anything that will fit in the fryer".
My crowning deep fried achievement so far has been the Cadbury Scotch Egg. Yep, a Cadbury creme egg wrapped in sausage, breaded, and then deep fried. So delicious. Fried oreos, fried twinkies, fried snickers... all of them are great. And of course fried chicken, fried shrimp, mozz sticks, fish and chips, etc.

Nice, thanks for sharing! I just picked one up, it was the oil filter setup that finally sold me, plus, $74 bucks is a pretty good deal. I don't deep fry very often, but it will be convenient to have something like this.Comment

Well i just cluttered up my kitchen a little more, lolComment

That was the one I chose before deciding I don't really need a deep fryer but it's still tempting at that price.Comment

Have had this in my "saved for later" cart for over a month. Don't know how much I will use it but it was delivered yesterday at the sale price.Comment

I bought one last year. I use it all of the time, it’s awesome.Comment

We use it for fried chicken, egg rolls, po’ boys, french fries, all kinds of things. The filtration system is great, and it’s easy enough to move around that I fry outside with it when the weathers nice so it doesn’t take up counter space or smell up the kitchen.Attached FilesComment

I received the T-Fal today... it looks robust. Weekend football snacks coming up!

I've had one for a couple of years. I really like it, the filtration system works quite well. You can use the oil over and over so you're not wasting as much. My only complaint is the capacity, it is rather limited. You have to fry things in small batches but other than that it's another appliance winner !!!Comment

DANGIT!!! Knew I should have pulled the trigger yesterday. Back up to $120 today. Oh well, hopefully it will drop again in price before Christmas.Comment

For those who managed to snag the deal, I think this cover will fit... I ordered one, so we'll see... https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1Comment

Soooo... here is my first cook in the new T-Fal deep fryer. Chicken Tenders https://www.mashed.com/332332/copyca...strips-recipe/. A good recipe - worked well!
I'm very happy with the way the fryer performed. One note... be careful with the temperature control knob; without careful observation it appears symmetrical, but there is a small oval molded into one end of it to indicate the pointing end; I was working outside after dark and didn't notice, so my first batch was dropped into cold oil. It still came out OK after pulling it back up and heating the oil correctly. I enhanced that control knob pointer end with a silver sharpee so it won't happen again.
Cleanup took a bit of time, but wasn't messy or hard. If this fryer lasts and performs like tonight, it will be a winner.

I've done shrimp for our first po'boys and French fries, works as advertised and is pretty easy to clean. The oil recovery is pretty cool as well. Thanks for sharing this! -
Donw not really... french fries were included, but because there isn't a pic it really didn't happen! 😄

Thank goodness it is back to 130$ now. I would have grabbed it at 79!Comment

i battered and some fried some fresh caught sea bass for fish and chips. came out great. one thing of note, the first couple of fillets i dropped in stuck to the basket due to the relatively low level of the max oil marking. I did find on the next batches if i just shake it around a bit when they are dropped in then they seemed to be fine.
as for clean up, the oil filtration worked as advertised and clean up was pretty easy since it all comes apart.Comment
