- How much oil does it hold?
- It is a large-capacity countertop fryer, so expect to fill it well above the small 1.5–2 liter home models. Check the tank markings before filling and never go past the maximum line.
- Can it run on a normal kitchen outlet?
- At 3400W it draws close to 15 amps, so it wants a dedicated circuit. On a shared outlet with other appliances it may trip the breaker.
- Is it dishwasher-safe?
- No. The tank, baskets and lid should be hand washed with hot soapy water and dried fully before the next use.
- How does it compare with a smaller home fryer?
- It heats faster and holds temperature better through big batches, but it is much bigger and heavier to clean. A compact fryer suits small households better.
- Does it have a timer or presets?
- No. Temperature is set with a dial and there is no digital timer, so you time batches yourself.
- What should I do with the oil after frying?
- Let the oil cool completely, then strain it back into a container for reuse a few times. Discard it once it darkens or smells off.
