Easy to use. Temperature is steady.
Gets the job done. One big basket or two smaller ones. Built in timer. Cover keeps oil from splattering everywhere.

Hamilton Beach Deep Fryer
I stand by Hamilton Beach products. They are a reputable company. This deep fryer is nice. The double baskets allow me to fry my breaded shrimp and fries at the same time.

Double Baskets!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this Hamilton Beach Professional Deep-Fryer! This comes with 1 - Huge basket for frying a large quantity or 2 -smaller baskets to fry different items at them same temperature at the same time how convenient. I like how you have a vented cover so the grease doesn't splatter everywhere. I recommend this Deep-Fryer to family and friends.

Great flyer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love my Hamilton Beach Deep Fryer. What's not to like. There is a choice of using 2 smaller baskets for cooking separate dishes, or a third larger basket if you need to cook a big batch of food. All the parts are easy to assemble. The fryer is simple to operate and the food comes out delicious with a nice color. Best part is the trouble-free cleanup.

Super Deep Fryer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a super sized deep fryer! We can all enjoy eating at the same time!Yes,it does accommodate a jug of oil,but it is Not wasted.We made batter dipped zucchini and hand cut fries.Delicious! Like County Fair food! Temperature remained steady thru out cooking.Clean up was easy.When the oil cooled we used Cheesecloth over the oil jug to remove the small bits.We then refrigerated the oil.Easy clean up,as well.Baskets minus the plastic handles into the dishwasher.Easy to remove the heating element and wash the oil pot.This deep fryer has opened a whole new window for meal preparation.No more bland food that in the past was made in the oven! Everything,so far,tastes GREAT! Unit itself is well constructed.

Another Perfect Product!!!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first this product did scare me; it is much bigger than what I thought it would be. I have not had a deep fryer for many years though I have been wanting one since my old one died about 20 years ago. Once I unpacked the Deep Fryer from the box and read the manual I was ready to get started. I use Crisco Pure Vegetable Oil in this fryer. I would love to try Peanut Oil but, for my Daughter-In-Law’s sake that has a peanut allergy I keep to Vegetable Oil so we never have any mishaps.
This fryer has been used everyday for 11 straight days. I am so happy with this product, and though the size of it scared me at first…I am now relieved that is the size it is. I’ve been preparing meals and snacks for four grown children and ten grand-children. First request was French fries…”NO MORE OVEN FRIES” was everyone’s response.
The HB Deep Fryer measures: approximately 10½ inches (from counter to top of lid handle) high by 14 1/8 inches (from left-handle to right-handle) wide by 21¼ inches (from rear to end of basket handles in front) deep. Note: I place my deep fryer on my chest freezer for use as my freezer top has more depth than my counter-top. (Just makes me feel safer with grand-children running around).
It holds approximately 2¼ inches of oil right at the middle of the maximum level. The instructions state that the fryer will hold a minimum of about 15 cups of oil to no more than 19 cups. (I did not measure oil by the cup; I just eye-balled to the middle of the max line). Note: with an empty basket (large size) this will appear to be ½ the depth of the basket, just remember the oil level will rise depending on how much food is in your basket. I fry three to four chicken breasts (depending on their size) in the large basket at one time and they come out beautifully every time. I make sure to pat the breast dry with paper towels before dipping in my batter to absorb as much moisture as I can to avoid as much splatter as possible once placed in the oil. DO NOT USE REFRIGERATED OIL…refrigerated oil can condensate (collect moisture) which will cause splattering.
Be aware of all safeguards in the instructions for safe and happy experiences in your frying endeavors! As per instructions “Do Not Use for more than 60 minutes in a 2-hour period”.
The model I have (#35034) came with a removeable lid that has a nice size view window, three sets of slots for the accompanying fryer baskets (each with their own removeable handles); each basket has an attached drain bracket. Each basket handle can either remain attached and swiveled into basket for storage or removed (as I do, so all baskets, handles, and electric cord can be stored inside the oil pot). The Electric Cord is magnetic, which I found to be really nice safety feature as well.
The Heating Element Assembly contains two controls: The Timer and The Temperature Control, plus indicator lights (one for power; one for when the fryer is ready). So far, I have only used the timed settings; I have not used the “STAY ON” setting as yet.
Be extra careful when removing lid; I remove lid with my right hand by tipping up from the left and rear a little to let heat and steam escape first. I also take extra care to make sure the fry baskets are seated securely on their drain brackets…you don’t want a nasty burn from splashed oil or the mess either.
Thus far we have enjoyed Deep Fried Vegetable Medley consisting of batter dipped vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, onion, mushrooms, carrots, sweet potato, zucchini) I blanch my veggies first, then drain and blot the moisture off before dipping into my batter, then fry to deep golden brown. Also of course French Fries, Hush Puppies, Chicken Breast, Fish Filets, Potato Wedges, Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers, and Mozzarella Sticks. Now I’m making my own Breaded Cheese Bites using my favorite cheeses in large bite size chunks.
I clean my fryer after every use and use coffee filters and a mesh strainer for filtering my oil.
I’m thoroughly delighted to add my new Hamilton Beach Professional-Style Deep Fryer to my kitchen collection.

Handy fryer cooks up things nicely.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fryer has worked perfectly for making great snacks. It is used regularly for different homemade French fries and each time the potatoes cook up nice and crisp. It takes up very little room on countertop. I might get a second so that we can make homemade chicken or veal cutlets the same time as the fries.

Awesome features!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this fryer over the past weekend. Looks like the fryers At a fast food place, only much smaller. Figured I would try a COPYCAT recipe to use it the first time. The homemade chicken tenders came out great! The professional size frying area was awesome! I fried 6 pieces at a time, and prolly could have done 8. Took about 10 mins to heat to 350. The lid is a nice touch. The baskets fit together for easy storage. It has a timer too, which is good for me should I forget to turn it off!

This Thing is a Monster!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is fryer is huge! Comes with 3 baskets. At first I considered frying a whole small chicken in here. I have never been able to fry a decent piece of chicken, ever! The results were perfectly cooked and delicious. The family loved it and that dinner will go down as a PLUS in the history of my kitchen. Comes with two different types of timers. Easy to break down/clean and dispose of oil. A+ Frying unit.

Never bake again
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had to wait a bit to decide what I’d try to review. I decided on onion rings, cheese sticks and curly fries...of the three the cheese sticks won out...not greasy but, awesome. I was surprised at the amount of oil required but being it’s reusable it’s not a issue. These products were prepackaged so results may vary. My next attempt will be chicken tenders which I know will be perfect. A great product with loads of options. Attention does need to be given to temperatures and cooking times when cooking two items. I cooked the onion rings and cheese sticks in the separate bins since temp and times were close...I had to cook the fries in the bigger bin since cook time and temp were different. a wonderful addition to household.

NO MORE COLD FAST FOOD.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used the Hamilton Beach Professional Style Deep Fryer from the first day it was delivered to my home. Why I waited so long to own one is beyond me.
This Fryer is a mighty little work-horse. I made chicken and fries but that's not all.
Would you believe breaded shrimp and sole were done in less than 8 minutes?
All you need is a high quality cooking oil and your imagination, because I did not stop there. Other vegetable sides and quick deserts were on the menu in no time.
My favorite veggies I had to try were batter dipped cauliflower, zucchini, and broccoli. The first dessert I tried, a real treat was the recipe for apple fritters
printed in the instruction booklet.
With the two baskets a main course and sides can be done in no time. I used the larger basket for donuts since I wanted a sizable quantity to share with friends. They disappeared in a blink. The idea of three baskets makes this Deep Fryer a
go to appliance in the corner of my kitchen counter to turn out quick hot meals in
no time. It's a nice way to get children to nosh on vegetables after school since
clean up is easy and done in no time. Imagine fresh crisp snacks without waiting
in line at fast-food outlets and most importantly you know what the ingredients
are because you put them there.
I do wish there were more recipes along with the instructions. I plan on making egg-rolls soon.
The instructions could have been a bit more comprehensive but the Hamilton Beach Professional Style Deep Fryer is a cinch to use. Few parts and no mess. Delicious hot faster food at home. Yes Hamilton Beach, this is good thinking.

Great product
Great product i would give it a 4 star. The reasonfor the 4 star is that cleaning the heating area that going into the oil takes some time to clean. The wires i am afraid to touch

Great Convenient Fryer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using this Fryer for a solid 2 months, I'm very happy with the unit. The larger basket is a great bonus as well. I've cooked Chicken Wings, Fish, French Fries and Onion rings with great success.

Food was done perfect
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I missed one of the features that was on my old deep fryer. It had a container that the oil drained into and stored until next time the deep fryer was used.

Frying made easy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used this and was surprised how quick it heated up. Very easy to use and directions are easy to flow. Was disappointed in magnetic power cord. Safety wise good ideal but I had trouble with cord staying connected if you just nudge the fryer. Used it second time and seemed to stay connected better. A good buy though.

Deep fryer
I purchased the Hamilton Beach deep fryer expecting a safe and reliable appliance, but it turned out to be a serious fire hazard. After only a few uses, the unit began smoking heavily during preheating—well before it reached the proper temperature. The smoke was so intense it set off my smoke detectors and filled the kitchen within minutes.
What’s worse, I noticed the heating element glowing red-hot and the plastic exterior becoming alarmingly warm. I immediately unplugged it and moved it outside, fearing it was about to catch fire. After cooling down, I checked for any user error, oil level issues, or blockages—none were present. This was purely a malfunction of the device.
I’m extremely disappointed and concerned about the lack of safety mechanisms in this product. A kitchen appliance should never pose this level of risk. I strongly advise anyone considering this fryer to look elsewhere—this could have ended in disaster.
