Excelsteel 6 Quart Stainless Steel Stove Top Deep Fryer

I got this for a friend who goes through the electric deep fryers like toilet paper. He loves this deep fryer. I holds just the right amount of food. It does not take up any precious counter space. And it works perfectly.

Stainless pot, chrome-plated basket. I like the basket design with the integrated handle. The whole thing folds up so the lid can be placed over basket, handle, and all for storage. Looks well made in general.

Two quarts of oil is almost too much without it bubbling over when submerging the basket with 1.5lbs of fries. With 2qts of oil the level just reaches the bottom of the basket in the raised position.

Not too much to say here. I bought this to make french fries, onion rings, etc. It stayed nice and hot once the oil was up to temperature and the basket handle didn't get too hot when the food was ready to comeout. It might serve as a backup pot of some kind but, for the price, I think I'll just keep it as a deep fryer and leave it at that. Recommended!
