I have a Delonghi Roto-Fry and am pleased with it. Hard to tell what you
are looking for without more information though. How often will you be
using it, size requirements, price range, etc?

All of the large rectangular friers in the $100 range use too much oil and
don't heat enough, IMO. I just bought one and took it back. I have used a
10" round cast aluminum deep frier from Presto for 25 years. I just replaced
it at Walmart for about $25.
Again, as above, it depends on your specific need. The Presto heats up to
450F without a problem.

I belive there's one that's a double wide also if you need bigger. The
heating element goes in the oil, so it heats the oil, not the pot, and
there's a "cool zone" below it so the drippings don't burn. Alos makes for
easy cleaning.

Tis the one that Alton Brown used, or similar, in his "Man Food Show" where
he made corn dogs & homemade "sliders"/

I take that back,

_dp_k2a_1_txt/002-9816007-0067221?ie=UTF8 is the one. Digital temp set
instead of analog. But it's $20 more, so it's your call if it's worth the
20.

Go over to Amazon and browse the Lodge Cast Iron. There's a fryer kit
with basket and thermometer and a 5 quart chicken fryer. You can get
Lodge just about anywhere, the hardware store, Target, Walmart... Deep
frying is easy, it dosn't require as-seen-on-TV equipment. The Lodge
pots are easy to clean. It helps to have a good oil filtering and
storage system ie: a metal funnel and paper coffee filters.

I've had this identical fryer for over a year now. I've owned probably
5-6 deep fryers over the years and this baby is far superior to all of
them.

I just plug it in, set it for 375 degrees and the green light comes on
when its up to temp.

Bought it at BJ's for $39 and was skeptical it was any good, but I
figured if it didn't work I'd just pitch it and only be out 39 bucks.

Gave it one thorough cleaning to date, as the oil gets "baked" onto
the immersed heating element and (obviously) reduces efficiency.
Sprayed on oven cleaner and let it soak overnite, wiped it off in the
AM .... returning it to its original pristine splendor.

I'd definitely recommend it. Actually, I wish I'd bought a spare to
have on-hand when this one craps out.

Are you after a domestic fryer or a commercial one? There are several
commercial ones that are fairly cheap and faster.
