Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This won't replace deep frying. I love deep fried foods but I hate the mess and the amount of oil that is used and wasted -- and that ultimately ends up in my gut! I am still experimenting with it but have found that my recipes have to be modified for food to taste good. I have found that its hard to get flour crispy so you need a coating like Panko or crushed corn flakes. Schnitzels come out amazingly crispy and not greasy. This appliance would be perfect for a small kitchen or college dorm room. It produces some heat and smell but relatively very little and it is portable so you can set it by a window so it can vent outwards. I place it on the kitchen counter next to my range and turn on the hood. Why 4 stars? They have should have included a grate to increase the amount of food that can be cooked in it. Otherwise you are piling food on top of each other and can cause them to stick and cook unevenly. I have purchased the following item to use as a 2nd level for cooking: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0027SH7B8
