Some observations. 1 / Cooking time said: better to reduce the recommended time. Example: 38 minutes for 1 kilo is enough, 35 minutes was enough. It's better to cook less time and add more time if necessary, it is also easy to see the level of cooking through the cover. 2 / It is better to stir fries and oil before cooking. Indeed, there is little oil and it's hard to permeate the whole, making some fries are overcooked, others not enough. 3 / According to the complaining, this fryer seemed quite loud, which made me hesitate to buy. In fact, the noise level is acceptable, progress has certainly been made on this point. 4 / In short, very simple device to use and clean hand. I prefer this to the dishwasher that may damage plastic parts and I do not want to take that risk. In short, this first test is very conclusive. I added salt and pepper after cooking but I do not know if it's better.
