Price range: Low, around $50

Rating: Medium

Description: Brushed Stainless Steel 1.1-Liter Deep Fryer. Comes with an extra-wide removable fry basket that accommodates up to 3/4 pound.

Pros: Small design for small batches of fried food. Takes up less counter space. Heats up fast.

Cons: This machine doesn't feel very well made. The temperature knob is made of plastic and the frying basket doesn't work very well.

Conclusion: It is much safer to fry food using a deep fryer instead of using a pot on the stove top. This fryer is nice because of its small size. It's perfect for two people, great for frying small amounts of fish and seafood and vegetables. However, this fryer doesn't have a very good feel. The frying basket doesn't work very well and there are plastic parts that heat up to fast.
