(More customer reviews)After one use the aluminum coating degraded for the pot and for the basket. The residue had a metalic taste and was dark grey. This will contaminate your food. I asked for a exchange and I was denied.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this to brew beer, and it worked great. Arrived a day early, in fact, and the price was right. Sturdy enough, HUGE, and just a tremendous value for the price--I think I paid almost as much for my 8-gallon stock pot from Bass Pro. I'd definitely recommend it.

Bayou Classic 1144 44-Quart All Purpose Stainless Steel Stockpot with Steam and Boil Basket Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Before purchasing this pot, or any other stockpot for that matter, you need to determine your primary purpose for the pot. Steaming or boiling. The basket sits two inches or so off the bottom of the pot which makes this pot excellent for steaming. If you are mostly going to boil then you should look for a pot where the basket sits closer to the bottom. That gives you more room to boil. This pot is very attractive and cleans up easily. The only drawback is that the handles are too close to the sides and top of the pot. It makes it difficult to carry for people with average to large hands.

Presto 6020 Options 6-Quart Electric Multi-Cooker, Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The SS pot is awesome. Love the rubber feet on bottom and it cleans up beautifully; like Stainless Steel does. However, my temperture dial and control is defective and I can't use it on any setting except 'barely on warm' or it goes into FULL ROLLING BOIL and the food burns! This is suppose to be a deep fryer AND a slo cooker. Right now it's only an extremely FAST and INTENSE Deep Fryer.
I have written and I expect to have a new gauge/cord soon. Hopefully, I just got a bad cord and a new one will solve the problem I stated above. I had a PRESTO deep fryer with ceramic insert FOREVER and LOVED it, but due to my dropping a plastic lid into the bottom and not knowing - I damaged my pot of 15+ years. So I bought this new one. Here is hoping that replacing the defective cord will solve the temp problem. I would be interested to see other reviews on this to see if anyone else had/has this same problem.

DeLonghi D14427DZ Dual-Zone Deep Fryer, Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have no excuse for buying a fryer, I have a high stress job, am an ex-athelete, whose eating habbits have gone down the drain. Buying a fryer, especially one as good as this, has further added to my fat and cholestrol intake.
This fryer comes from a very good design house, DeLonghi based out of Italy makes some really good products, but be advised, this unit is : "Made in China". So it is not that well built. The outer body is thin sheet metal which will bend very easily.
But that said, it has a solid inner oil chamber and a good and solid frying basket. What I like is the concern for customer safety, often at times, a person might mistakenly pull a power cord and trip the appliance. Now if you do that with a fryer filled with boiling hot oil....I leave possible implications to your imagination. The DeLonghi takes care of such an eventuality by 2 very simple, basic, yet very effective principles.
1) The power cord is short, so you wont have any extra length to get entangled in.
2) The power cord is connected to the fryer by a magnetic connection. Nothing plugs in, it is just held by a permanent magnet. So in case there is a minor tug, the power cord will disconnect, and you wont trip it.
Regarding operation, really it could not be simpler. I am used to complicated sequences and special dances which need to be performed whenever any new appliance is being used for the first time. So I picked up the manual, connected the unit to the power supply, filled it with oil between the min and max limits, and then looked up the manual for setting the temperature and timer. It was ridiculously simple. The unit automatically sets the temperature to 320, all I had to do was to press + or - to increase or decrease (respectively) the temperature. After that, you press the mode/start button now the timer display comes on, you press + or - to increase the time to the desired number of minutes. Then you press the mode/start button again, and the unit heats the oil within to the desired temperature and beeps to let you know when that is done. Now you immerse the basket with the goodies inside, and press the start button and the unit counts down the time till the timer runs out and then beeps to let you know.
The beeps are loud and clear, so if you set the unit in the kitchen, to heat up or are waiting for the food to be cooked, and you are seated in the living room catching a movie, even then you will be able to make out the beep. That is a good feature. God knows how many pizzas I have burned in convection ovens which never beeped loud enough for me.
The lid has a glass window, which is basically useless, because when you start frying, the vapor obscures the view. But thats not a major problem. I have never seen this sputter, so you can safely take off the lid to check how the food is being cooked.
There are 2 problems however.
1) The oil takes way too long to heat. Almost 12 to 15 minutes to heat from 68 degrees to 356 degrees. Thats a lot of power consumption.
2) The manual states that the unit must be filled with oil in between the min and max levels which are pointed out on the inner side of the container. Now thats kind of hard to make out after you have fried food in the unit a few times. The remains obscure the markings.
Apart from these few minor complaints, I am pretty pleased with its robust performance, ease of use and excellent quality. The food is always cooked to perfection. I have absolutely no complains here.
I would honestly recommend this unit, because of its safety features and great quality and the excellent brand name of DeLonghi. I do feel this unit is built to last.
Thanks,
Kaushik

Presto 06006 Kitchen Kettle Electric Multi-Cooker and Fryer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This unit is similar to the one I have (old style 06000), so I have included my review here as well.
I bought one at Walmart last year. I use it pretty often, but mostly for making popcorn. Turn temp to 350, put a couple-three tablespoons of peanut oil in the bottom, and then when the oil heats up throw in 1/3 to 1/2 cup of popcorn. Put the cover on and keep the pot moving while the corn pops. When the corn has just about stopped popping, turn the heat off and pour the popcorn into a bowl. Butter, salt and eat. YUM!
I've deep-fried scallops in it, steamed vegetables, cooked rice, made soup and even baked potatoes. The thing works great! I wasn't going to write a review until I saw Alton Brown talk some trash about it on Good Eats. I got pretty defensive about my humble Presto cooker! He was doing a silly episode about "man food" like corn dogs and thin, square hamburgers. Well, when Mr. Brown was explaining how to fry the corn dogs he said (while holding a Presto mutlti-cooker) that a pot with an heating element on the outside of the bottom wasn't a good idea because first the element had to heat the pot and then it had to heat up the oil. Too slow. After that he displayed three home-use rectangular fryers with immersion type heating elements. He said they were also better because they each had cooking baskets and break-away magnetic cords. He picked the one with the digital controls, while implying that this was somehow better than the manual rotary temp control.
I don't know if A. B. gets paid for product placement on his show, but I really thought he was being disingenuous regarding the Presto "pot." First of all, about the heating element on the bottom of the Presto cooker: During the frying demonstration, Mr. Brown had some text placed over the screen that said that if you didn't have a special electric fryer, that a pot on the stove-top would work fine. Isn't that interesting? What the heck is a pot on the stove, but just a heating element on the outside of a pot that heats up the pot and then the oil inside? That's exactly what he was criticizing the Presto kettle about. What gives? Secondly, the Presto cooker DOES TOO have a magnetic break-away electric cord to keep the unit from tipping when the cord is yanked by accident. Also, the Presto cooker DOES TOO come with a frying-steaming basket, which Brown implied it didn't have. Nya, nya, nya! See, I can be just as immature as Alton Brown!
I don't know if the rectangular fryers are really better, but I'm sure they cost a lot more. My Presto cooker was $26.85 at Walmart. I keep it in a lower cabinet - it doesn't take up much space there. I pull it out when I need it. It's inexpensive, easy to use, and simple. When we go to Maine in August, I'm allowed to take only one of my counter-top appliances. So, I just take the Presto cooker with me. Normally, I cook steel cut oats in a small bowl, sitting in water, in a slow cooker (a bain marie - sort of - found the idea here [link deleted]) I can do the same thing with the Presto cooker. And I have a pot with me on vacation that I can do so much more with.
One last thing. With my slow cooker I use a plug-in timer called a Rival Smart-Part. But it's not rated to control the wattage of the Presto multi-cooker. I found a heavy-duty programmable digital timer that I use to turn the Presto cooker off and on automatically. This device really allows me to use the Presto cooker like a slow cooker, without over-cooking stews and such when I am out of the house all day. The Presto multi-cooker is a terrific appliance! Buy one now, and don't believe everything you see on TV!
Flash Update! Here is another reason to buy a Presto multi-cooker: I'm making a beef stew with red wine tonight. What a mess browning the stew beef! I have a 3 quart Wagner cast-iron chicken fryer, and this is what I used to brown the beef chuck cubes. These days the meat hasn't been aged much, and so it is very difficult to brown properly. I managed to do it in batches, but the stove-top got pretty messy by the time I was done. I put the browned meat, vegetables, and garlic into the Presto cooker ( I made sure to deglaze the chicken fryer with wine and include all the tasty bits) and continued to cook the stew. And then I could proceed to clean up the stove-top while the beef stew simmered away in a different part of the kitchen. I am very pleased not to have to clean up all that oil splatter after dinner!
