Is there a pouring spout of some sort? From the pictures it looks like pouring frying oil out of this might be messy.

I only save bacon drippings and I remove the screen and set it aside and use a large serving spoon to take out the amount I need then put the strainer back. It drops right in place.

You need to use a spoon to get it out. There is no way to pour it. Its kinda messy pouring the grease in but i still like it. Its agood size and works well for me.

There is a small cap you remove on the cover. You then take the container out, remove the cap, and the oil easily pours back into the fryer.

I think this depends on how much oil you use and what you are cooking and if the oil splatters outside the pan onto the hot burner because this pan has very low sides. There can be some smoke and it can get a little messy.

Hi...Yes there is a spout that you can pour in from the top without removing the lid. Be very careful washing the glass jar. its heavy glass but I dropped mine into the sink and it broke.

That is actually not a pouring spout. It is sealed with the lid on, and great for slow cooking.

Use a funnel to pour the oil into a glass bottle-shaped container that's easy to pour from. Also helps to hold the container so that the spout is near the edge on the long side of the can. The can's top is a rectangle, looked at from above. Hold the can so the long side of the rectangle is down with the spout close to the top's edge. Got it?

It's okay with grease draining but there are clear hot spots under the heating loop. For pancakes i just pour the batter over the top of the hotter loop.

It cleans beautifully. There is a spout on one corner to pour the oil out of the fryer into a funnel/strainer that was provided. I have never had anything stick to it that couldn't be wiped out with a dish cloth & soap & water in the sink (don't emmerse). The basket has a removable handle that you can put into the dishwasher along with the basket. I have put both of them in the top and bottom shelves of the dishwasher & they come clean every time. The filter and lid go into the dishwasher too although it isn't recommended to put the filter in the dishwasher I have never had a problem in doing it and it comes clean every time.

..check on how level your griddle is..sounds like it's flowing away from the side grease spout is on.. if you get it exactly level, you can just scrape it towards the drain..have it just slightly forward..

Use a pig funnel shaped in such a way as to pour the oil off into an appropriate container. You will likely need an assistant for this.

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.

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

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

Not really. It works surprisingly well. No dripping. You can control the rate at which oil comes out by changing the angle you hold the bottle. Since the spout is small, even the fastest rate is manageable.

Yes. You just take the oil compartment out and there's a spout with a screw-on cap. I use a funnel and pour the oil into a clean half gallon milk jug. Unless you have a reason not to reuse the oil next time you fry, though (e.g., you fried shrimp and somebody you're serving has a shell fish allergy, so you can't use it for that meal), you can just leave it in the compartment and pour it directly into the fryer next time you use it.

Not really. When you pull out the old one, the fluid will pour out. You can put a pan underneath to prevent from a messy spill. You can drain some to lessened the spill, either way, it's going to be messy.
