Zumic Small Deep Fryer vs MyMini 1.5 qt. Electric Deep Fryer

Buy the MyMini if you want an actual electric deep fryer. It holds 1.5 qt of oil, heats to 400°F on a dial with a temperature display, and has a removable wire basket that is dishwasher safe. The Zumic is a 500 g stainless steel pot you use on a stove, with no cord, no thermostat and no basket. Owners rate the MyMini 4.4 out of 5 across 2,747 ratings; the common complaints are small batches and oil that cools when you add cold food.

• Choose the Zumic small deep fryer if you want a compact stainless pot for stove-top frying or steaming small portions, and you already control heat with your own burner.
• Choose the MyMini if you want plug-in electric frying with set temperatures, a basket to lift food out and dishwasher-safe cleanup.
