Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Hamilton Beach 35020 Cool Touch Deep Fryer
Customer Review: A pleasing product!
Summary: 5 Stars
This model holds up to eight cups of oil, with a minimum of six to run it, and features such pluses like a dishwasher safe nonstick pot, cool touch exterior, adjustable thermostat, cooking timer, breakaway cord, well-designed fry basket, and states it provides splatter free frying.
Upon the initial use (to make fried chicken), after filling the tank with oil then waiting roughly twelve minutes for it to register as being "Ready to Cook" by the indicator light, I then dropped in the first batch of (battered) raw chicken and twenty minutes later, out came some very nice, golden brown fried chicken.
Continuing on to fry the remaining six batches (six legs and six large boneless/skinless pieces), the cooking time continued to be consistent throughout for obtaining a good internal temperature of 180 degrees (for cooked bone-in chicken).
However, the true test of this kind of product is also it's clean-ability, so once the unit cooled, the interior metal pot was lifted out with no trouble (for it was light enough to not only remove but to pour out the contents without a struggle) and cleaned up in a snap.
After removing the lid (it is detachable), it cleaned right up with soapy water-no problems. The white filter cleans in soapy water as well. After wiping down the main assembly and drying all the parts, reassembly was a breeze.
One note: There is still some odor with this product, but as with any kind of frying/fryer, that is to be expected to some degree so just don't expect it not to emit anything odorwise even thought it has filters.
Overall impression: Pleased with it's performance, ease of use, and of course, simplicity in cleaning. Like the way the lid can be shut before lowering the basket to limit splattering.
Length of ownership: Under one month.
Planned usage: Occasional.
