Cook restaurant quality fried foods at home with this professional style stainless steel deep fryer. Its 9 cup food capacity allows for making family size batches of anything from french fries, onion rings, or mozzarella sticks before the big game to yummy doughnuts on a lazy Sunday morning. The easy to use appliance features an adjustable thermostat and an 1800 watt immersed heating element for fast, even heating, as well as for super speedy temperature recovery times after adding food to the fryer. Thoughtfully designed, its frying basket comes with a cool touch exterior handle for safely lowering food into the hot oil with the cover closed to prevent spattering, and its spatter shield cover offers a filter to help reduce odors no need for the whole house to smell like a fish fry. Other highlights include an on indicator light, a light to signal a ready oil temperature, a digital timer that alerts when food has finished cooking, and an exclusive QuickCool system with a built in fan that cools the cooking oil in less than half the time for faster cleanup. The porcelain enamel pot, which doubles as a large capacity container for steaming and boiling, cleans up easily by hand or in the dishwasher (with the heating element removed). The 1800 watt deep fryer measures 12 by 13 by 12 inches and carries a one year limited warranty.
