Elite Gourmet1.6 Qt Deep Fryer with Adjustable Temperature Control and Immersion Heating Element, 800W
Product details
Web ID: 12414565Poor quality. To small. Keep shopping!
This fryer is very small! It was out of the box 10 minutes before I repacked it. Plus the quality is poor. The housing is two pieces, the heating unit is a separate piece and the "lid" is another piece. The basket's only redeeming value is - it's "cute". Keep shopping- this is not the deep fryer you seek!!
Little Gem
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.

Good fryer
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.

Not worth it
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.

Great features for something so small
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.

Works well
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!

Useless item. We try to use it and it was useless.
