I used the De'Longhi Livenza Dual Zone Digital 4.5L Stainless Steel Deep Fryer with Easy Clean Dreain System for the first time this weekend and I've gotta tell ya, I love it! It heats evenly and in turn my french fries and onion rings came out beautifully crisp just the way we like them! The only qualm I have with the unit is the buttons are a bit wobbly, it's not a major set back or turn off to the machine, just a slight annoyance. We do love the easy clean drain system, the spout on the unit does make it uber easy to drain the used oil and the subsequent warm soapy water after. It's a beautiful unit, perfect for table or countertop and I can't wait to try the other recipes I've found in addition to the usual fries and onion rings!
