Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Hamilton Beach 3 Liter Deep Fryer Digital Timer
Customer Review: Fryer's remorse
Summary: 3 Stars
This Hamilton Beach Deep Fryer was my first deep fryer. What attracted me to it the most was the low price (when I bought it. Thanks Black Friday!), and all though it is perfectly serviceable, after using it a few times I wish I had done a bit more research and gone with a model that was perhaps more expensive but overall more functional.
As far a simple deep fryers go, it has all the necessary features. The pieces are all separate, making for easy cleaning. The power cable is a magnetized quick-release that prevents any tripping of the cord resulting in a downpour of hot oil. The heating element goes directly into the oil, heating up the oil first instead of heating up the metal which then heats up the oil. All of that is pretty good.
The analog dial lets you chose only four temperatures, 300, 325, 350 and 375 degrees. This isn't too different from deep fryers like the Presto 05462 Digital ProFry Immersion-Element 9-Cup Deep Fryer which claim to be "digital" but still only allow you to select from the four pre-set temperatures. I have seen others that give you far more control over your temperature, but you get what you get here. There is a small digital timer you can set, which is basically the same as a cheap stop watch and gives you a little beep when it times down. Not a bad function, but nothing exceptional.
Everything fries in here just fine, and I don't have any complaints there. I did have some trouble with my beer-battered fish sticking to the basket, but I think that is more a matter of cooking skill and familiarity with the proper oil levels rather than a problem with the machine itself.
One of my biggest problems with this model is that it is just too small. I wanted to make hand-made fish and chips for a party of four, and the capacity of this fryer just isn't up to it. By the time I got done frying the fish, the potatoes had gotten cold and needed a quick dunk back in the oil to get them hot and crispy again. The size is probably fine if you are just doing a few fried things to go along with a meal, like if I wanted to fry up some french fries to go with hamburgers, or maybe a few bulbs of deep-fried garlic, but if you want to do a whole fry-themed meal for friends then it is a bit small.
If I could do it again, I think I would have gone with the Aroma ADF-212 Smart Fry XL Digital Dual Basket Deep Fryer, which doesn't cost too much more but delivers quite a bit more in flexibility and function.
