The Costway 3.2Qt is a compact countertop deep fryer with a stainless steel body, a 1,700-watt element and a 3.2-quart oil capacity. It tops out at 375°F and includes a frying basket, so it covers the basics of home frying without the filtration or digital controls of pricier fryers. It suits small households and occasional fryers who want a simple, low-cost way to make fries, wings or donuts. Against rivals like T-fal and Presto, it gives up oil filtration, a viewing window and precise temperature dialing, and owners report the temperature control is the weak point.
