Product review (4 stars): Cool Hot Fryer Makes Tempura EZ
This was a highly recommended deep fryer, and the quality of construction, ease of use and ability to clean up quickly were all important considerations.  It is very carefully packaged, instructions are good, perhaps not great, but easy to follow if you take a moment to look at the pictures.  It is fast, clean and no one gets injured!  I had sort of hoped that the frying basin area might be larger in surface area (not necessarily deeper) so that I could do more items at a time, but for most foods, fries, etc., I can see that having them stacked works fine.  I just love doing tempura, and that cannot be stacked as successfully because the batter will get all gigantically encrusted -- must keep the tempura pieces separated by a bit of space.  Otherwise, you can dip and fry, remove items and dip and fry to your hearts content, with minimal mess and still have relatively healthy meals.  Great for fish, but toss that old oil if doing seafoods!  With veges you can recycle the oil and that saves a lot of money.  We buy the big 1/2 gallon of 50% olive oil, 50% Canola blend and that works perfectly.
