For side dishes for 2 people, this fryer is completely sufficient. The handling of the mesh basket is a bit strange. The times are about 10 minutes longer than indicated on the scale. I fritiere with normal rapeseed oil and the fries are so golden and crispy. Advantage: after cooling of the oil can be returned to fill in the oil bottle it until the next use. A good compromise to the giant deep fryers, if they are not needed every day.
