06006 Kitchen Kettle Multi-Cooker, Steamer, Deep Fryer, Black

Great deep fryer. I bought this one because it can be used as a deep fryer, a steamer for vegetables & rice and as a slow cooker for roasts and stews. It is a good size for the amount of food I’m cooking. It is easy to clean, heats up really good. It was easy to assemble. Very good quality of metal and plastic. The price was perfect. Very please with this.

Rarely, do I think that there is a perfect product but, this is one! I have owned 3 deep fryers in the past 6 years or so and for one reason or another, I just decided to leave them alone and fry in my cast iron dutch oven. First, let me tell you what I fry and what I expect of a deep fryer and why the allure in the first place. If you imagine a male version of the comic strip Cathy, I am ALWAYS on a diet. I do well but my weight ebbs and flows. Occasionally, on my cheat day… or cheat week… or cheat month, I love fried chicken wings or drums. You know, seasoned well, shaken in flour and fried, like grandma. The only problem is, unlike my grandmother, I CAN NEVER gauge the heat on the stove just right all the time so, sometimes, the chicken comes out perfect and other times it looks like I mistook the poor chicken for a marshmallow. I like the idea of a deep fryer but my previous ones have a few issues that have made me hurl them into the dumpster; the heating unit goes out, the sides are so disgusting from grease that has spilled over time that I cannot REALLY clean for fear of ruining it or, the heathing unit CANNOT keep the oil hot enough for crunchy chicken… at least frying 5 wings at a time. I like my cast iron Dutch Oven but, gauging the heat is a skill I don’t practice enough to get right every time. I saw this Presto Deep fryer and knew I’d love it. First of all, it is spacious. You can pour an entire bottle of oil in it and theres still a TON of room inside for the grease to rise without splashing everywhere. The heating unit is accurate and does not fry too hot and can easily recover when you add fresh chicken. YOU CAN CLEAN THE ENTIRE THING without worrying about damaging it… it can even go in the dishwasher which is something I will never do. I used it for the first time yesterday. I fried 5 whole wings of large size from Trader Joes ( how on earth they call them natural wings given their size is beyond me as they’re twice the size of Amish wings*shrugs*). Nothing splashed out of the fryer. The wings were submerged and fried well done the way I like without burning them. The cleanup inside AND OUTSIDE of the fryer was easy. There was basically no grease on the stove ( I removed the metal grate and fried on top of the stove). This was fantastic. I love it! I am tempted to buy another one in case like with everything else, they stop making them or modify it in a cheaper way because of the cost of production. This is a great fryer and I would definitely buy one

I received this today in a package that looked like it had been thrown around like a basketball and I was really leery of what the contents were going to look like. It was packed very well, no inside damage and the cooker is in perfect shape. It goes together very easily. All you have to do is secure the handles and feet. I cleaned it up with soapy water, rinsed and dried well. Then I decided to deep fry some shrimp, okra and french fries. Everything came out perfectly. I had a very expensive older deep fryer that finally saw better days, so when I bought this one I was a little leery because of the price. It is just as good as my older, expensive fryer. I read some other comments that weren't too happy with the results, so I am just going to give some common sense tips for good results, aside from the fact that some others might have a defective cooker. My cooking tips are mostly for deep frying as I haven't tried other methods yet. 1. Read and follow the directions, they are always important regardless of the appliance. 2 Don't overcrowd the food. It needs space to cook properly. For example: I deep fried 6 shrimp at a time and about 2 average servings each of okra and fries (average meaning something like you would get at a fast food restaurant). I would guess that the fryer would hold about 3 average sized peices of chicken, fish, etc. Use your jugement as long as the food is not crowded. 3. The fill line is a ridge inside the pot and takes about 1 1/2 quarts of oil. The directions for deep frying say to heat the oil about 20 minutes, but I could not find how to tell when the oil is heated to the temp of 400 degrees. So I watched it and it actually heated up in about 15 minutes and the red pilot light will go off when it is heated. Your pot may vary. Just watch the pilot light. 4. After the cooking process is done, set the basket on the side of the pot with the lip provided for a few seconds until no more oil is dripping and place the food on paper towels. It was a very good meal and we were both very pleased with the results. I am anxious to try other cooking methods according to the directions. This is a perfect sized cooker for 2 to 3 people. It surely will accomodate more, it will just take a little longer. The only critical thing for me is not having a removable container to store the oil in my refrigerator, but I cannot complain for the price and will just have to put it in another storage container. I recommend this to anyone wanting to spend little money for a quality product.

Works ok, but a little smaller that expected.

Love the item, use it very frequently.

Good little pot for candle wax. Be mindful of the temp if doing small batches. It can raise the temperature fast, and you'll end up having to dump it from the temp getting too high. Conversely, when stirring in fragrance, don't remove heat entirely, because it'll cool off too much, too quickly. Find the proper heat setting instead. Probably going to end up modifying it with a valve, as I lose too much to the cooler metal when pouring. Overall, so much better and simpler than using the boiler method. Well worth it if you like to make your own candles or experiment with them (I'm very much a beginner).

I just replaced the same one I've had for over 18 years simply because with the years I had some greased build up, but not because it wasn't working perfectly. This is an excellent deep fryer and I highly recommend it.

There's nothing I like less than pulling the cover on the glass cooktop, rooting around under the cabinet for a pot to do anything from heating soup to simmering season something to reheating a stew, cooking pasta for a few people, boiling eggs and anything else you can boil including gravy. And then cleaning the cook surface, the pot... Not with this. I have been collecting "Screw the stove" products over the last year and this countertop kettle is the crown. The hot pot and all the others serve their purpose, but this has controllable heat and keeps the pots and pans in a pile under the counter and the glass cooktop cleaner under the sink. This guy, a multipurpose air fryer/toaster oven and you'll never cook and clean the old fashioned way again. Unless you have a large family and then forget it.🤣 Built well, in spite of the claims against it. There is always one fiddly screw on an appliance and this had one, easily solved with a drill driver and pressure. The knock out power cord is a curiosity but it works. It heats fast and cleans easy.
