Does this fryer maintain it's own temperature or do you have to monitor and adjust the burners manually?

It does not have a thermostat. You have to monitor the temperature, and periodically adjust it, but not very often. It's very "user friendly."

Its a great fryer you have to get the temp just rt and it will hold using propane thiers no numbers on the gauges so u have judge it but its a great burner

monitor & adjust,but it's no big deal. cook with the lid open.cooks great.clean out after every use, so you don't get the oil a burnt flavor.

Of course, depending on what you are frying in any pan or any fryer you musr must monitor and adjust the temperature. Always be sure to heat this fryer with the lid OPEN. We think this is a Great Fryer!

It has a single jet burner that you have to monitor....The unit holds the heat very well and will continue to fry even after it is turned off.... It is not a problem and actually helps save gas...:)

You have to adjust the burner. However, once you get to your desired temp the fryer holds that temp very well.Then there is almost no more adjustment needed.

There is no thermostat. There is a valve past the regulator that is adjusted. It is easy to adjust to hold a pretty constant temperature.

I think I've figured it out....I've had problems with mine staying only on high. When I first used it you could adjust it from high to low. Mine got screwed up by moving it once (I have it on a cart) and that's when I only had high afterwards. I jiggled stuff around like where the burner was at, or whatever would jiggle and now it's working fine. I got stuck on high only a couple more times and whatever I jiggled corrected it. Otherwise, I LOVE this grill....cooks so well, never had anything burn or flare up.

It is NOT self regulating. But is incredibly nice to know what the temperature is when trying to cook on it.

There is only a Low, Medium and High Setting and it does "Cycle" at those Settings but I don't know what Temperatures they are at. You will need to Watch and Lower the Setting so things that you are Cooking don't Burn.

Neither on mine. The burners get luke-warm, not enough to cook anything. It's in the garage going to Goodwill. Wish I had better news for you.

YES. I havent measured the temp. From mine at setting #4 it gives a steady temp for frying on a small pot.

Cindy L gave exactly correct info. The only thing I would add is that the adjusting temperature with the handle (at least as mine is set up) only applies to manual operation. The auto on is adjusted on the under counter control and primarily uses "hot".

There is no manual adjustment of the unit for temperature variations. The unit works well.

My skillet holds the temperature, shutting on and off as needed, but I never have to adjust the control after I set it. Sounds like a defective heating element.

it does not, but this is a great deep fryer--keeps the heat up, fries are done very fast
1178234
Well I've never checked the temperature with anything. I usually have it set on 350 and just assume that's the temperature it's at. It cooks everything I've put in it very well at that setting that's all I can tell you.

This burner does not turn itself off. It has a twist knob to adjust the heat level and it will maintain that heat level while on.
