" ... Very useful and saves energy when cooking ... "
" ... The fries were good, but the drum sticks were out of this world . ... "
" ... Since it's summer, I haven't done much baking/frying, but what I've experienced so far makes me very satisfied. ... "
" ... The entire family really like this method of cooking ... "
" ... You basically have to skim on filling the basket in order to get thorough cooking in reasonable times. ... "
" ... Almost wish I would have gotten a larger capacity to make extras for leftovers but it works well cooking for two. ... "
" ... Not "amazing," but the little mess, no fuss of the machine makes it a fun little cooking toy that beats firing up the oven for a one person meal! ... "
" ... Get good crisp fries without baking forever or having to drown them in grease. ... "

" ... I do however add a layer of aluminum foil to the inside of the fryer so that the main tray remains clean. ... Not too bulky and fits great in the kitchen. ... "
" ... However, larger servings have to be divided into smaller portions. ... "
" ... I thought this was another gimmicky gadget that would just take up counter space and we'd box it up after a month, but I was wrong. ... "
" ... It also fits under my cabinets on the kitchen counter. ... "
" ... about half basket is best. ... "
" ... Place food in basket and turn the fryer on. ... "
" ... I have a larger basket that fits on a pan that I use in in the oven more often because it holds more. ... "
" ... I bought the accessories pack to cook veggies on a separate rack at the same time and it has worked well- through items brown a little faster on the top rack. ... "
