This thing rocks! It warms quick, plenty of space, cooks well and easy to use. It has a sight glass in the lid to look at your food while cooking and the filter system is genius. It has a digital timer and makes frying food easy. It goes up to 375° I believe and that should be hot enough to fry anything. My french fries and egg rolls both fried to perfection and the lid helps great to reduce splatter. The stainless steel is gorgeous but that does make it susceptible to smudges, which is a nothing major to me. Considering everything this is a nice fryer and I definitely recommend!
