I bought this before Thanksgiving in anticipation of using it for the big holiday. It arrived in plenty of time. The fryer is extremely well made, very sturdy and easy to use. The directions were extremely helpful in preparing and deep frying the turkey. The outcome was wonderful. A tender, juicy turkey with succulent, crisp, tasty skin. It presented beautifully at our thanksgiving dinner. I had used a outdoor propane deep fryer for years, the outcome was good, but at what cost, a lot of time and babysitting the flame and the turkey, to keep the cooking process safe and providing a tasty outcome. This indoor electric deep fryer is quiet and efficient, the oil maintains a constant temperature without supervision, allowing you more time to cook sides and more room in the oven to bake pies. I will not trade this invaluable appliance for anything. It makes the Thanksgiving main course delicious and effortless. Thank you Masterbuilt!
