I have tried two...a T fal and another one (probably blotted it out of
memory) and hated them both. Neither EVER came to the promised temp.
Neither EVER was able to maintain any sort of temp during cooking,
either. Each was a waste of money.

Back to the good old Lodge dutch oven and a thermometer. I only fry
things maybe once or twice a year & thought these fryers would be
convenient and practical.

Grrr.
