Owners: Why did you choose the Waring over the Masterbuilt/Butterball turkey fryer choices? (Still on the fence)
2020221
I did a lot of research on many brands and all I can tell you is I have. fried two 20 lb turkeys and several smaller chickens all in peanut oil. ..they were the best birds we have ever eaten....and fast too

Build Quality and temperature control much better than the Masterbuilt/Butterball.

The quality of Waring Pro products and the ability to rotate the turkey in less oil were the main reasons. After using it I knew I made the right decision.

It is a great asset to any kitchen appliance line- up. Especially with fresh veggies, fresh potatoes, and even fresh made onion rings. Hell, I used it last night to "fry" the eggplant for the eggplant parmesan I made. The fryer uses up to a tablespoon of oil at most. The biggest advantage of this fyer is that the food is pre coated before it goes into the fry basket.

My guess is they upped the A model price to make people start buying the new B model, since they are not much different in features. Never heard of Fry's before, is that a reputable seller with a working return policy?

Never used it for frying, just broiling.Since I wrote the review my unit quit working so I sent back,I believe at their expense.New unit also went out and I gave up.It cooks the best chicken that I have ever cooked and I loved it but it just clogged up the light socket I guess with the grease released.I feel like an addict because I still think about ordering another.It has to work longer for others but I had bad luck.

Just my opinion. I would not attempt it. It says in the description "fry" but it lacks a temp shut off (at least my model does) that would prevent overheating the oil. The "fry" basket and pot are shallow, about 1/4 the size needed for a turkey. If you look at a decent turkey fryer, there seems to be more guarding around the burner and the hose to the propane tank appears longer. Nope, not me. Maybe shrimp, fish or fries, but not a turkey. Be safe. Please, buy a recent unit with updated safety features that is designed for frying a turkey. Good luck. BTW, this is a heck of a nice GRILL. Just my opinion. I would not attempt it.

Well i sure understand what you are saying RePete and i'm so glad someone else noticed! Even though this LISTING is for an Masterbuilt Butterball Indoor Gen III Electric Fryer Cooker, there are 3 purchasing options on the page that include something that steams indoors and an additional indoor fryer that DOES TAKE OIL and an OIL FREE FRYER. The oilfree product is really an OUTDOOR ROASTER that uses an infrared heating element to roast the turkey so the term fryer is misleading in many of the reviews for the oil free version. I came to this page after I recently received the oil free fryer as a gift at christmas to read the reviews and it was very confusing. Several people were raving about how they fried turkeys, wings, potatoes...anything in oil and that it turns out so crispy and perfect. Or that they boiled/steamed things with this lol....i thought they were idiots for attempting to put oil in an OIL FREE FRYER. lol However, they bought the indoor fryer that does take oil. Amazon should have split this listing into 3 product listings, giving each option it's own page and review options. Hopefully people use their common sense and NEVER attempt to use the outdoor version indoors (carbon monoxide warnings all over the instructions) or put oil in it. Side note, i'm looking forward to trying out a turkey tomorrow, based on the reviews for the version we do have. good luck!

Thanks, Joseph! You review and follow-up were really helpful and I'm glad to hear you're still liking the FlipSide after almost a year. While I generally agree that a temperature control doesn't matter much as long as it's hot enough, I find that when it's too hot, the waffle cooks too fast it's not as moist on the inside as I'd like it to be. Can you comment on that?Thanks again!

Oil pans are knee high. I wouldnt want it any higher for fear of it being knocked over. I cooked 80lbs of chicken strips at a wedding a few weeks ago. Fryer worked great and the height never bothered me.

Get the 10 inch covered fryer. It has straight sides like a saute pan. But it probably a little shy of 10 inches.

I was replacing a large Vermont Castings grill, and I have a Big Green Egg and a Traeger Pellet grill as well. Maybe I'm getting older, but the simplicity of the Spirit really appealed to be. Well built, easy to put together, and has ample space to cook chicken, steaks, and bugers for a group. I got the E320, mostly because it was a good but. Very even heat and no flare ups. Good luck with your decision.

I just got the 630 for $1,034 at USAppliance.com. Also keep your eye on Frys.com, they are currently sold out but I called a store and was told that, once they get more in stock, the 630 will be $1,000.

If you're asking about the DF250B versus only other Waring models, the 250B is going to be as good as a Waring non-commercial product gets. Waring currently also lists (for the same recommended retail price) a DF280 model which is identical in sharing 1800 watt heating elements, a 2.3lb food capacity and 1 gallon oil capacity. The differences are the 280 has a 3 basket configuration and digital controls. Feel free to read my other comments regarding the 250.

I got mine in two days (Prime). Two months??? No way. Amazon sells another 'toastabag' for a little less. The convenience of not needing a frying pan is worth it for me - And there's BB&B.

Hi - it is not a rotisserie, only steam & frying. The frying outcome of the turkey is great, I have not used to steam as of yet.

I purchased the nuwave, from commercial, two of them (second one free.... har, har) and pans set, and grills, and pressure cooker. The shipping was several hundreds of dollars!!!! But I do love induction cooking especially with old place and new place having only electric. BUT!!!!!!! Although I used one sparingly over 2 years (we are a 2 microwave in kitchen family and large one in laundry room - we are masters at microwave cooking), when I hand carried it to my new place two of the screws fell out of the bottom feet and not replaceable making it probably unsafe to use. I trashed it. When I got the second one out of box, after being in inside storage for two years, it is defective. Using a candy thermometer I can only get water temp up to 210 F degrees, just under a boil. I am female, don't usually handle my possessions harshly or ever use excessive force with tools and equipment, and have a lot of fine delicate things that I haven't broken in over 60 years...... That said, I'm really disappointed in the (non)longevity and (non)endurance of the nuwave induction burners. (They were out of warranty.) I am in the process of purchasing a new induction cooktop and later, after saving up some funds, will purchase a second one. We especially love grilling and searing proteins indoors using induction cooktop and pressure cooking takes only minutes for just about anything. It does take a little practice to learn how to keep fats/oils from spattering when using searing temps on the grill and skillets but so worth learning especially when weather is too bad for outdoors cooking/grilling.
