Hamilton Beach Professional-Style 4.5 Liter Deep Fryer With 2 Fry Baskets

I’ve been using this deep fryer for a long time, and it has worked great. It heats up quickly, cooks food evenly, and is easy to clean. It’s perfect for making fries, chicken, and other fried foods at home. I’m very happy with its performance.

Great fryer. I usually use the fryer more in the summertime here in Southern California, but lately I’ve been using it a little more. My old fryer wasn’t working anymore, so I thought it was time to upgrade. This fryer is larger than my last one, although it is not a giant fryer, it handles everything that I need. The design is nice and I like the fact that it has two baskets. The heating element got the oil hot in a relatively short time, and it retained its heat when things were dropped into the fryer. I like the fact that the heating element detaches from the fryer which makes it easier to drain the oil and to clean the element. Having two baskets gives you versatility. The wife like tempura vegetables to go along with dinners on occasions. I usually make Po’boy sandwiches so it’s nice that I can separate the vegetables from the protein.

Wonderful fryer.

Don’t write reviews quite much but I will say for the money with a discount or coupon it’s most definitely worth it. 1st off I only cook in Peanut oil or Avacado oil and food comes out light bouncy and crispy & only eat well done Proteins. It cooks items easily, gets up to temp 375 in about 7-10 minutes but that’s fine cause it’s just turning on from cold you can cook from frozen or raw you just have to fry it till minor color comes in and take it out for a few minutes to let it get back to desired heat since oil just gotten frozen flashed. Then back in and repeat works like a charm. Basket design is ehh, questionable but it does the job fine and is big enough for a Grown up meal not just deep fried snacks. Easy to clean beware oil is going every where and when it does put that top on but don’t let it touch the heating Line just to where it covers and block the oil so you better have a dedicated area to cook this in. You can make anything in here but I keep it simple everything naked because peanut oil is 18-22 bucks a gallon so I get more usage with the help of straining ofc. Only knocked it down for cheap basket and price but it’s pretty much pitch perfect.

I was skeptical on this as the price was so low. got it home. unboxed. easy set up. timer is always on, off, and then in five minute increments. Only goes up to 375. Takes about 3.5 liters for oil. pros: almost everything! i have never tasted cheesesticks so perfectly done! easy clean up. top vent to make sure it cools off without leaving heat/grease on anything if you set it under your cabinets on a counter. fry baskets are separate so you can make 2 different things at once. cons: not many. takes a bit to warm up, but once it does, it is READY. no spattering or anything. no popping/mess. but prepare the fryer. turn it on first before you even start to pull out any food. it does take several minutes. it has a lot of grease to heat. the sides get SUPER HOT. even though there is another pan in the unit to take out and easily clean. i kept forgetting to use the handles and touched the sides when trying to move it back after use. 2 handles on the side, sturdy, and do not get hot. remember to grab them! this unit is not like most fry daddys. the sides do get heated. its metal for the frame/box. just a reminder! not sure if this is a pro or con. but if you time your food and the normal temperature, cut down the time by 1 or 2 minutes depending on what you are making. when they say this thing will fry it up, IT DOES. SUPER SUPER FAST! i had to pull out 3 different things a couple minutes early such as mozz, buff chicken nuggets, and jap poppers. even though the bag said 6 minutes, i had to pull out the mozz 1 minute early, 2 minutes early for japs, and 1 minute less for the chick poppers. this thing is AMAZING. ive owned so many, but never got something this great for so cheap. buy it!

I love the double basket, heats quickly and evenly. Clean up is a breeze. Definitely recommend. Bought one for my MIL so we can do double the amount of fried chicken.

Double fryer from Hamilton Beach eorks great. I love the double baskets. I have the ability to cook a small two person meal of fried chicken and potatoes at once or a large portion of just one of the other. Super easy to use right out of the box. Wash and fill with your desired cooking oil. Outside wipes clean with damp sponge after use. Oil storage bin lifts out for easy oil changes and periodic changing. Cover filters out some of the oily smell while using. Great buy for the family of two or many!

This fryer took almost 20 minutes to heat up and when I added 12 wing segments the temperature dropped like a rock and took almost 5 minutes to come back up to temperature of 320 degrees. Dial goes to 375 degrees - something that I seriously doubt it can achieve. I cooked those twelve chicken wing segments in the fry for almost 20 minutes and the wings were only a very pail golden brown. Other fryers I've owned fried more wings in half the time. The power cord needs to be longer by at least a few more inches - the fryer needs to be very close to a wall socket because the cord is so short and the fryer can't be pulled out from under cabinets because of the length. The maximum amount of time you can use the fryer is 60 minutes out of 120 minutes (in the manual). When we make fries or chicken we use a double fry method of initially frying at a lower temperature, removing the food and heating the fryer to a higher temperature and frying a second time to finish off the cooking. When you add in initial heat up time, and recovery time between batches you don't get a very long cooking window. I was trying to finish the cooking of the wings when the fryer turned itself off - resetting the timer didn't bring it back on.

Excelente producto, sencillo y muy fácil de usar y muy funcional. Además al ser desmontable se puede lavar de forma rápida

Ya fuera de produccion es para uso domestico pero lo use tambien para un pequeno restaurante. Se limpia excelentemente, practico y barato.

Excelente producto, un poco confundido con lo de las dos charolas pequeñas pero excelente para trabajar, rápida de calentar y resistente.

La freidora electrica de aceite Hamilton es de muy excelente calidad en funcionalidad, diseño, acabado y material.

If you follow the instructions it works really well and it’s easy to clean. The only problem is it’s expensive to use and every month you have to refill the oil so if your gonna use it you better plan a whole month of deep frying or buy an air fryer to do a similar cheaper job.
