Does the heating element go directly into the oil?

No, but the temp is not as advertised. I ended up throwing it out a long time ago and buying a commercial grade fryer. More money but worth the investment.

Yes, the heating element is inside the main tub and is submerged in the oil when filled.

Yes. It comes with a small plastic bottle which is to be filled with your oil, and placed at the bottom of the unit. It is a bear to reach beneath the unit (make sure it's empty of water...) and it's even worse to fill up this plastic bottle with your choice of oil, as the unit's bottle is small as is all essential oil bottles. We've been using the oil, after slowly dropping in the essential oil, and it does work fine. But what a headache!

No the new version attaches to the heating element. On my old version the heating element was part of the "snap on" unit.

The element is submersible and goes under the basket in the oil and is attatched to the controls outside of the basket. see video below If it wasn't in the oil, it would take alot of heat to get the frying temp high enough to fry such as a gas stove with a dutch oveh and a wire laddle to scoup out frys, If you dont like this than get a presto electric wok and fry in it like tempora and use a wire laddle to extract the fried food.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZmBD4XlilQ

No, I don't think that is so.....I've put a pan on the element and started to heat it and then added butter, oil, whatever and it has heated up.

No, lid is a snug metal-to-metal. Oil doesn't come out the lid though, because there is about a 1 cm lip all around to keep that from happening (sort of an internal funnel/donut when you pull the lid off).

Yes, it does. The only problem I encountered was when the oil separated from the solid ingredients. I had difficulty mixing them together so I just used the oil and threw the remaining solid away. Hope this helps. Ms

Yes. The heating element is hidden in the bottom, so the liquid doesn't touch it directly.

No, and it needs tons of oil in it to be able to work. I was never able to use it.

Yes, the non-stick insert is required. Under that is just the heating element.

Some, perhaps. The water is heated slightly, only a small portion, to create the steam/mist. The oil is mixed into the water. After an hour of continuous use, the water level barely drops.

Unit has a separate air connection where it pushes the used oil out. It also comes with its own drain hose and connection that you attach to drain the used oil into approved containers.

Yes. It is fitted in the top so when you turn the bottle over the oil drops out instead of pouring out. You can remove it if you prefer to use the squeeze and fill type droppers.

Not exactly. There's a screwtop-covered opening from which it is fairly easy to pour. I recently used a small funnel to make this job easier, pouring the used oil into the original jug from whence it came.

It goes into the radiator, not the crankcase. It won't have any effect on the oil. It actually seals the coolant from the engine, so it doesn't mix with the oil
