• 1800-watt immersed heating element — heats oil for quick, even frying.
• Adjustable dial from 265°F (129°C) to 375°F (191°C), plus a ready light — set the cooking temperature and see when the oil is ready.

This electric deep fryer is made for home cooks who want to prepare fried favorites without frying in an open pot on the stove. Its large oil capacity suits family-sized portions and a range of foods, including french fries, chicken tenders, battered vegetables and seafood. The basket choices also let you keep two foods separate during the same cooking session.

How much can this Hamilton Beach deep fryer cook?

The fryer holds 4.7 quarts (4.5 liters) of oil and can fry up to 12 cups of food. Choose the large basket for a single batch, or use the pair of smaller baskets to cook two foods at once. The chrome-plated baskets hook over the oil pot after frying, allowing excess oil to drain back into the fryer.

• One 12-cup basket is included for frying one food.
• Two 6-cup baskets are included for separating two foods.
• The listed food capacity is up to 12 cups.

How do the heat controls and lid work?

An adjustable temperature dial sets the oil between 265°F (129°C) and 375°F (191°C), while the ready light indicates when the oil has reached the selected heat. The 1800-watt immersed heating element is designed to fry food quickly and evenly. A vented lid helps reduce splatter, and its viewing window lets you watch the food as it cooks without opening the lid. Food can be lowered into and lifted out of the hot oil with the lid closed.

• The breakaway cord is designed to help prevent the fryer from tipping if the cord is snagged.
• Use the window to observe cooking while keeping the lid closed.

What parts are dishwasher safe?

The oil pot, frying baskets and lid are dishwasher safe. Remove the heating element and wash it by hand in warm, soapy water. The fryer is designed to come apart and reassemble easily, making it straightforward to separate the components for cleanup after frying.

• Dishwasher: oil pot, baskets and lid.
• Hand-wash: removable heating element in warm, soapy water.

This Hamilton Beach fryer suits home cooks who want capacity for larger batches, the option to fry two foods separately, and visible temperature control during cooking. Its 4.7-quart oil capacity, three-basket arrangement and removable components make it a practical fit for preparing fried meals at home and cleaning up afterward.
