Elite Cuisine 1.5qt Compact Deep Fryer - Stainless Steel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Don't be fooled by the size of this little fryer. It heats up to the perfect temperature for frying french fries, breaded zucchini, and I even used it to make breaded chicken fingers. I did not notice any oil spitting so the counter around the fryer was clean. It does not take up much room and I have kept it on the counter.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I brought this for a friend and she recommended so much that I had to get one for myself. Great fryer that easy easy to store and clean. I like how the setting are easy to choose and there are not unnecessary features that get confusing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked using the Elite Gourmet stainless steel deep fryer because it is easy to use and does a good job at frying food such as fries, plantain and etc. I used it a couple of times to fry fries, chicken and etc it definitely exceeded my expectations with the quality of the fried food.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, it feels cheap from bottom to top. The basket handle is bent to the side and can’t be bent back straight. The plastic is all very cheap. When removing the oil pan, the side walls of the frame flex out and make it difficult to re-install the pan easily and without pinching your fingers. The temperature knob doesn’t have a pointer to point at a specific temperature. It has a notch that is about 10 degrees wide so you’re really just guessing at the temperature. When set at what should be 350 degrees F, the actual oil temperature is around 375 degrees F. The plastic lid gets really hot even at the handle. Good enough for deep frying small sides and that’s about it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Elite Gourmet 1.6 quart stainless steel deep fryer is the perfect size for one or two people and is easy to use. It comes with an instruction manual and some assembly is required but everything is simple to understand and takes very little time to have this deep fryer ready to use. There is a red power indicator light, temperature control knob, green ready indicator light, one wire basket with a convenient hook to easily drain excess oil from your fried foods. I like how simple it is to clean this deep fryer and it has a removable oil tank to make changing the oil simple and easy. There is a minimum and maximum oil level line on the inside of the oil tank so you know what the oil level should be. It has a carbon filter located in the lid and you just remove the filter cover to change them. There is even a food frying guide in the instruction manual so you know what temperature and time to cook different fried foods. This is very handy for inexperienced cooks so they have a guide to look at also there are deep fryer recipes that you can make. This is a very well made deep fryer and works like it should. I am very happy with this product and it also makes a nice gift.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked this stainless steel deep fryer. It's not huge, so doesn't take up a ton of space when I use it. It will also store away easily. The oil reached temperature and cooked the food well. It didn't taste greasy. I also like that it's a stainless steel fryer as it looks nice on the counter. If you're cooking for a crowd, you might want something larger, but this worked great for us!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first time I got a deep fryer. Prior to this I have been using a wok to deep fry food, and more recently an air fryer. While deep frying in wok definitely needs more oil than air frying, it used to serve my needs well. This deep fryer is well made, and includes all the instructions to use it for first timers like me. It is not very complicated to use it, but every bit of instruction helps especially when using a new gadget. I washed the washable parts and wiped the others and was ready to launch it in 15-20 mins. My experience frying some potato cakes was very similar to how I used to fry them in a wok before. This one looked more formal and more professional though. The results were similar to my previous method. The reasons for giving 2 stars less are: 1) It uses a lot more oil than what I used with a wok. And it's not because this is wider. It's just that a lot of oil goes below and around the element coil which heats the oil. So you end up needing lot more oil to cover the coils and then more on top. The stuff you want to fry is cooking in the "more on top" portion of the oil. 2) The basket for deep frying gets food stuck to it. While that happens when deep frying, because the basket is like a mesh, it is extremely difficult to scrape or scratch the stuck food out of it while frying. While the fryer is robust and works as designed, because of the 2 above issues, it's not something that I would use regularly. It might be more appropriate for commercial uses.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I know what your thinking deep fryer are large and bulky. Well this one actually takes up the least amount of counter space I have ever seen. It also does wonders for me when I don't want to use the stove.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is amazing! The features on it is so simple. When you plug it in, it takes approximately three to five minutes for the oil to be hot. It doesn’t take long at all go fix anything in this little fryer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this last week with low expectations. However upon arrival this worked great easy to use and heats up fast. The 1.6 quart worked perfect for me being a single guy. Fast and easy French fries that go perfect with a meal.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great little deep fryer. Its compact and perfect for small areas. It's super easy to use and set up. It has lights that let you know when its ready. The basket seems sturdy enough for heavier foods.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I love to cook from home. This fryer is the perfect size for the two of us! We love that it takes less oil, is more compact to store and has all the options of a full size fryer! It has a temperature dial for easy setting and an indicator light to show you when ready. Handles on both sides for easy movement. A fry basket with a handle for easy removal and a removable lid and basket for easy cleaning! Highly recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really should have looked closer at this before hand. It cooks like it should, nice and evenly and heats up fast. But this is more for a single person, it is so small! You might be able to cook fries for one and that is eat. Good luck trying to put chicken strips in it, they won't fit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great fryer, I didn't even expect it. Firstly, it is small in size, but it holds enough French fries to fry, in 2-3 times it can be fried for a whole family, it is easy to operate and quickly cooks. Secondly, it is very easy to assemble and clean, it is very convenient, I disassembled everything in parts and quickly washed it, good quality. Thirdly, it doesn't take up much storage space, and it is convenient to take it with you, which is very cool. We really liked it, we will be happy to fry with it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 2 hot wings? 3 onion rings? 5 French fries? That’s about all that is going to fit in this little fryer. Fine a guess for 1 person to ha e a snack but not enough for a family. Not worth multiple batches either.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the absolute cutest and best functioning fryer I have came across. It fits very nicely on the counter taking up minimal room. It has cooked all the things I have tried very thoroughly. It leaves a a nice crunch on things. Highly recommended!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE this little fryer. We are a family of 3, so it is the perfect size for us. Fries, wings, mozzarella sticks, doughnuts.....you name it. It can handle it all! Gets a consistent outer crunch layer, but it maintains that inside tastiness

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this deep fryer, perfect for chicken strips, nuggets, and even fish fillet sandwiches. I love that it’s smaller and doesn’t require as much oil or take up as much space. It also heats up really fast and very easy to clean up. I definitely recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We all try to be super healthy as senior citizens but there is nothing better for certain foods like a deep fryer and the Elite Gourmet 1.6 quart Deep Fryer is the perfect solution for our Coconut Shrimp and Southern Catish. I like the easy cleanup for this compact unit so I am not stuck cleaning an oil mess. The stainless steel basket sits on top of the tank easily and in ten minutes, we have our fried fish, chicken, or shrimp. Nothing smells like home like a fried meal and for the two of us, it is the perfect solution!
