... What more could you want for the purpose. Of course, not soo comfortable, the cover is not removable but unfolding, but nothing can happen, it is not even "coffee warm" and is easy to handle with the help of the built-in handle. A basket-lift function with the lid closed, no. It lifts the lid off, then you can lift out the basket and hang it in the top of the oil tank (see product photo). But the unit has a removable oil reservoir, which was very important for me, given the cleaning experiences with fryers in one piece, always mean that a lot of effort and care, you can get such a machine not indeed put in the dishwasher into dishwater let alone and must be careful even with wet clean, is indeed an electrical appliance. There are no bells and whistles as z.Bsp. an electronic timer whose electronics after a while the mind gives up due to the heat and of course the oil - also because there are various experiences on my part - but only an adjustable thermostat which works pretty much, but of course applies: test. Which also means you can connect the device firmly, it will only consume power when you turn the thermostat (I've tested). Correction with regard to the amount of oil when one is determined by the maximum mark is 1.2 L, but also to get to terms with the standard 1-liter oil bottles. With solid frying fats (Palmin etc.) I have not tested the device, because I think absolutely nothing of hydrogenated fats in person. The basket and the handle are separable, which simplifies the cleaning again, only I had a little modify to make sure the two basket Bracket that nothing wobbles or suddenly slipping slightly. For draining the handle an extra bracket which is simply "hooked" into the oil reservoir boundary has (again see product photo). The filter in the lid, well, the is anyway ascribed too much importance, but is quite useful when the device is placed under lighting equipment and absorbs at least a portion of the exhaust steam, but all he can not prevent either, because the lid is indeed only launched and maybe not use therefore "hermetically" sealed, so better under an exhaust hood. The housing heats up even during continuous operation moderate, you can not burn yourself, but only get a shock when touching, but it has in the case of reacting-wollens Plast handles that remain almost cold. A little tip: always fill ago Erstzubereitung of what the maximum amount of oil, set the maximum temperature and wait until the heater shuts down and do not be surprised about any strange noises or smells, but that is really all new devices like this. Recommended for small portions and casual use and therefore for the single household, but also very good for fondue.
