I find it an outrage this fryer to evaluate bad just because you can remove the cover !!! After all, it is indeed the same one Fondue ... fondue with lid is really not ... Imagine times before someone gets stuck with his sleeve !? Since I take the lid but rather from him as required simply to lay on it again !!! And with the cool touch housing .... Yes what do you expect for ?????? The thing that remains outside Eiskalt ... A pot whose lid or pan stay but not cold !! ?? Since you have to stop a little careful ... Cooking just has to do with heat that brings the name nunmal already with them. Shutdown allows the fryer class only on the plug ... Find me, it is not safe !!! I'm totally excited !!!! For a 1 to 2 man budget the part is really great !!! It heats very quickly to, is big enough and you can stow super save space in the cabinet thanks to the removable lever of Fritierkorbes ... For the price that's really good !!!!!!!!
