does it do French fry's as well as an oil type fryer

Yes.. If I'm cooking fries from fresh potatoes, I usually cut it into round chips , pour a little grape seed oil, and salt. Mix it all together so the oil coats the potatoes. Then I lay them on the rack and in about 8-10 mins they are ready. They come out very crispy and my kids love them. If you are cooking frozen they would also cook well.

It depends on what size of item or items You're frying. Your best bet is to fill it with Water to judge the amt of oil you need to Use

yes... it is super light weight and therefore heats up really fast... I use it as a small fryer and the oil heats to 350 in under 5 mins. the basket is great for frying as you don't have to fish anything out with a slotted spoon. buy this pot, it'll change your life.

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. I make fried rice in it myself, but keep in mind it is not deep like a chicken fryer.

No, however, as shown in the picture, there are handles on the side that enable you to move it during use if necessary. I've used this fryer a number of times and have had absolutely no problems with any of it's functions or features. Love it!

Yes. I purchased it mainly to pop popcorn, but we have used it to fry shrimp and fresh fries. We love it.

Absolutely. I fry chicken, fish, chicken fried steak, and I make French fries in it. I also use in on a lower temp to make meatloaf, chicken and rice, and beef and noodles. (Now I'm hungry).

I think that depends upon what you are frying and how long the frying time takes. Example would be if you are frying "Country Fried Steak," that may degrade the oil faster due to fat/juices in the beef. On the other hand, frying "Tempura Zuccini" would not breakdown the oil as fast.

It's a food processor, so no to the fries. However you could do potato chip slices or wavy.

Yes I have for both. I like it n it's reasonably priced. I also add other oils in.

Yes...We leave oil in the fryer and store (unless it's dirty of course). It's a great fryer!

Yes it does. I liked mine but the 120 outlets in Germany did something to it and it died, as did some other appliances we had tjat ran on 120. So it wasnt the fryer that was at fault. I loved it

Yes! The clean up is SO EASY. There is a pouring lip at the corner and it's lightweight and a manageable size. When I'm not going to use it for a ewhile, I pour hot soapy water into the reservoir and rinse it out. Otherwise, you can just paper towel it between uses. This is perfect for 2 people and takes up very llittle space on the counter. It heats up fast and uses less energy than bigger fryers. I love it.

No, its a fryer and the down part is empty, hollow, and the oil exude to external box as in a conventional fryer.

It's great for donuts and any type of deep frying. Just make sure you have a thermometer to clip to the side such as a candy thermometer to keep the oil at the right temp.
