I started using this Indoor Fryer 2 days ago. Best catfish ever! I also fried turkey wings and a whole chicken the same day. I had no trouble at all with a 4 lb chicken and bought some small turkeys to fry later. Imagine frying a whole chicken in 17 minutes! No need to imagine it, you can do it!
Easy to use even for a beginner. Cleanup is a breeze! The oil drains perfectly clean if you want to use it again. I was able to drain it all back into the bottles without using a strainer.
The Masterbuilt company has answered every question in a very timely fashion. I would recommend this Indoor Fryer to anyone looking to have fun frying foods. |
Perfect and saves times!!

This is clearly a time saver and if you are considering buying a new turkey fryer, you should get this one and not anything else.
It is very spacious and you can have all the turkey cooked in one shot, rather than divide and cook multiple times.
I own a oil free outdoor turkey fryer, also from masterbuilt [ http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002JM1ZN8?ie=UTF8&tag=mama0f-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002JM1ZN8 ], which is quite quick, but this one is even faster and can also accommodate extra space. Cleaning the fryer is also quite easy.
On the whole, I have been pleased with masterbuilt and this one is perhaps the best for indoor cooking. I also like the digital clock on the device, and also a viewing window, for ease. They really put a lot of thought before designing this fryer.

I used mine for the first time Thanksgiving - just bought it first of November .... I was so impressed by the reviews I quickly bought 2 as Christmas gifts and had them shipped and THEY ARRIVED before THANKSGIVING (THANKS AMAZON) ... early Christmas gift I should say
Here is what NOT to do with your turkey fryer ... we had a large crowd so I wanted 2 turkeys .... so after the first one finished ... I put the second one in ... about half way through smoke was filling the house and bad bad smell when you burn peanut oil.... the turkey was okay ...
What I should have done .... unplugged ... removed the heating element - CLEANED the heating element ... drain off the bottom part of the oil to remove sludge residue ... THEN add whatever oil I needed to add - THEN cook the second turkey .... Don't forget to remove the water that gathers in the top trap - the 2nd turkey way over filled that.
I'm STILL cleaning the black off the heating element ..... will probably have to get a replacement heating element.
The only draw back is .... it puts out a LOT OF STEAM - ..... will quickly fog up any window it is next to.
I'm anxious to try other recipes in this. Don't bother looking - as of this review Amazon has the BEST price - Target may be a couple of dollars less - but, you can't beat Amazon service.

Top Notch table top Fryer and Steamer

This Professional series fryer is much more than a typical fryer. It is loaded with safety features including a magnetic pull away power cord and a heating element that only turns on when properly installed.
As a professional in the food service industry I put this piece of equipment through it's paces. I deep fried wasabi pork pot stickers to a delicious golden brown and had very little oil retention on the pot stickers. I tried them with canola oil and vegetable oil/olive oil blend and each performed beautifully in the fryer. I also took some pork dim sum and some veggie pot stickers and steamed them in the elevated basket over water. The flavors were bright and the exterior skin came out at the perfect consistency, not too mushy or chewy. By simply adding some aromatics to the water I was able to lightly infuse the steamed items with additional flavor.
I then put together some General Tso's chicken and went about deep frying the chicken. After the chicken was cooked to temp I set it aside and steamed off some broccoli and then added it to some spicy orange sauce. I cooked up several batches at the same time, back to back and the recovery time was almost instantaneous. I only waited about a minute between cycles for the oil to return to temperature and began to fry the next batch. The ease of use in setting this machine up was great and switching from frying to steaming was a snap.
When it came time to drain the oil the drain spout on the side and removable heating element made clean up a breeze. I really enjoyed using this fryer and I am looking forward to coming up with some new ways to fry some old favorites. Perhaps even using chili infused oils to cook off chicken fingers for buffalo chicken wraps.
All in all this fryer/steamer is quite universal and wonderful to use. The only difficult cleaning was getting breading off the fry basket, but a quick soak in some hot soap water did the trick. You will enjoy creating with this indoor Turkey Fryer. |
