Extremely impressed with the performance of this fried. I did find that two litre capacity actually means capacity with food in it - it takes around 11/4 litres of oil to the max mark, which makes it quite economical in the oil department, but the description doesn't make that very clear so a little common sense comes into play!!! It is well made and good quality although the basket is perhaps a little flimsy. It reaches required temperature quickly and cooked the food well. It is very easy to clean and since it's of a square compact design doesn't take up much space on either work surface or in a cupboard if you're short of working space to leave it out. I've always used a larger fried but since I'm now cooking for two downsized. It cooks just as well as my larger professional fried. It cleans easily, although I was a bit sceptical that would be the case as I have always had a removable oil basin. However as it's small and lightweight it presented no problem. Would recommend to anyone, but be sensible and don't try to over fill it !!!
