Our take on the MegaChef Stainless Steel Electric Deep Fryer with Timer

The MegaChef is a 3.2-quart electric deep fryer with a stainless steel body, a 1,500-watt element and a 375°F maximum. It has a timer and a viewing lid, so you can set a batch and watch it cook. It suits small households frying wings, fries or churros in a few liters of oil. Against larger home fryers it holds less oil and tops out at 375°F, so it is simpler and more compact rather than more capable.

Questions and answers

How much food does the 3.2-quart basket hold?
About two to three servings of fries or a dozen wings per batch. For a family meal you will cook in rounds.
Is 375°F hot enough for crispy fries?
It is workable for most frozen and fresh foods, but many recipes call for 375°F to 400°F. Expect slightly softer results than a fryer that goes higher.
Does it have a timer and a lid?
Yes. There is a timer dial and a viewing lid that helps contain splatter while you watch the food.
How do you clean it?
Let the oil cool, drain it, then wash the basket and lid by hand. The stainless body wipes down; the unit itself is not immersible.
Is it good for a large family?
It is better for one to three people. A bigger fryer with more oil capacity will save you batches for a crowd.
