Need a fryer that is well-priced, works well and carries more of a prestigious lineage? This T-fal fits the bill. I got this at a good price and wasn't sure what to expect when it arrived but was pleasantly surprised.
When you open the box, it is obvious that this is a no-frills, fairly basic fryer that is good for an average sized family. We fried some chicken breasts cut up (about 1.25 pounds) and it took 2 full baskets to fry them to perfection. Seriously, the chicken looked beautiful and tasted outstanding. This model holds a good bit of oil (it is a 3 quart model) and has a nice window to see your food cooking.
Something that I noticed right away (and a reason I would rate this 4.5 stars if possible) is the way the basket feels when you set it down. There doesn't seem to be a place for it to sit perfectly but rather feels like it is just sitting on the heating element...which happens to be the case. This did not impact cooking, however and when you put the lid on (as is absolutely recommended), it holds it in place).
I wish the handle could fold down when you were cooking to avoid bumping it but for this price and value, I am not complaining. You are absolutely able to fold the basket handle when you are not cooking (do not attempt to do when it is hot) and it enables you to keep it stored as a nice box shaped item but during cooking that is not an option; as was the case with the model it replaced...which was much larger.
When you are frying and ready to take the food out of the fryer, the basket does have a nice feature to allow you to rest it on the lip to enable the grease to drip-dry. This is nice, helpful and lends itself to less greasy food (but not dry).
Overall, we love this fryer and T-fal as a brand. It has served us well over the years with cookware and their foray into fryers seems to be going well. The larger (and more expensive) model has a nice oil filtration system which is really cool-looking. If we fry a lot, we might just upgrade.
Either way, good value, functionality and form factor resulting in a very solid 4.5 star rating!

It works well
Since the reviews were good, I ordered it. I don't regret it, since it worked well. Although I had to use a lot a oil, but other than that, all was good.
