Product Description

Frying food is fun, but clean-up is a hassle - until now. The T-FAL Ultimate EZ Clean Deep Fryer is the only fryer we could find that automatically filters, drains and stores the messy oil without touching it. After cooking, simply place the fryer on top of the oil container. When cooled, the oil automatically drains into the storage container - filtered and ready to use again. Everything except the heating base is dishwasher safe. A charcoal filter reduces cooking odors.Safety features include a cool to the touch exterior, locking cover, and external basket control to prevent splattering. Set the thermostat and a signal light indicates when the oil is ready. Holds 4 1/4 cups of oil, and 1 1/2 pounds of food.

5.0 out of 5 stars So Far, So Good!!, August 9, 2005

This review is from: T-Fal FA7000002 Ultimate EZ Clean Deep Fryer, White (Kitchen)

Since there aren't any reviews about this product, I decided to write one.

I just got it about 5 days ago, and used it once (last night). First, I must say that I really don't eat that much fried foods. BUT, when I do, the smoke just covers my whole little apartment. So, I saw this on sale and decided to order it.

Last night, I fried some chicken drumsticks just to test it out to see if I wanted to return it or not). Well, it did pretty good!! The drumsticks where great! They were fried evenly and was still juicy (not dried out). When I lowered the food into the oil (which you can do with the lid closed - another plus), there was some smoke out of the little vent at the top but it didn't engulf my entire apartment! YAY!! All I could do was smell the chicken a little!

Then there was the clean-up - A BREEZE!!! I just put the fryer on top of they little plastic oil container that came with it and wala, it filtered the oil. It took a while, but thats okay, I just put it on there and came back in about 20 minutes and it was done! I then rinsed out the basket, lid and the fryer itself and put them all in the dishwasher! How easy is that?!!

What this comes with:

- It comes with the fryer body (dishwashable)

- The lid (removeable and dishwashable)

- The basket (dishwashable)

- The handle for the basket (removeable and dishwashable)

- The oil container (where the filtered oil goes) and lid (dishwashable)

- The electric base (NOT dishwashable, but it doesn't touch the oil or the food)

- The cord (NOT dishwashable, magnetic. I guess this is incase a kid trips it or something. My daugther is 8 months old, so I this should be useful in the near future. Personally, I don't mind it, I just keep it with the base!)

5.0 out of 5 stars So easy - so bad for your waistline, August 27, 2005

As a collector of gadgets, I can say that this is one of my favorites. I bought this even though I thought it was expensive as a splurge since I had an Amazon gift certificate. This is wonderful! I have tried it with doughnuts, french fries, fried chicken, and pierogies. It worked wonderfully. Everything came out golden and delicious. I have had such bad luck with deep frying in the past - either with my skillet or a multi-purpose cooker. I had a lot of trouble keeping the fat at the right temperature, but this appliance does it automatically.

The maintance aspects are what is the best about this deep fryer. Mine takes about an hour to filter from the maximum oil level into the container. I just leave it and come back to it later and plunk the top and fryer into the dishwasher. It comes out of the dishwasher good as new! My favorite part is that it is so easy to use that I use my premade doughnut dough (thanks to the breadmaker) and can have fresh doughnuts in about 15 minutes without having to smell the oil all day and spend an hour cleaning up. The only con I can think of is that the oil pan doesn't have a pour spout on it - but I still have had no problem pouring the oil back into the fryer. It is so easy to use that I have been deep frying far far to often. It would be nice if it had a window, but those never work on appliances anyway because steam always clouds it up - so it would just be a waste of time.

Why I LOVE LOVE LOVE this deep fryer:

1)You can lower the food into the oil with the lid closed, so the oil doesn't splatter everywhere

2)If you want to check if the food is cooked enough, you can raise the food out of the oil, and they lift the lid and examine the food, again, without oil splattering everywhere

3) Everything but the electrical base/cord goes into the dishwasher!

4) When done, you take the fryer off the electrical base and place it on the oil box, and it filters out the oil, and you can reuse the oil 10 times. The oil box is like a big tupperware, easy to store.

5) Food comes out very crispy!

6) Did I mention that I like that oil doesn't splatter everywhere? Such a clean alternative to frying on the stove top.

To address other reviews:

1) My fryer sits stable on the electrical base and does not leak oil

2) My lid opens and closes easily
