Customer Review: Pros and Cons of the Maxi-Matic EDF-3500
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this fryer as a free gift! Upon opening the box I was not intially impressed with it.
But now that I have been using it regularly for some months and it does have some short comings.I dont think I will go back to frying the old fashion way with a pot and temp. gauge.I am considering buying a second one for frying pastries only.Below I have listed the pros and cons I have run into while using this fryer.
CONS:
1.The wire backet has a handle that is designed to distach from the wire basket.When dealing with HOT oil, this was an accident waiting to happened and not worth the risk.My solution was to take the wire basket to a welding shop and have the handle perminately welded to the basket!
2.The white lettering denoting the tempature settings ect. is not permanent. The first time I cleaned this fryer with just dishwashing washing liquid and water.The white lettering wiped right off, never to be seen from again!!!! I have'nt thought of a solution yet to replace the white lettering.Because the white lettering wiped off the first time I cleaned it I'm only giving this fryer 4 stars,else I would have given it 5 stars.
3.It takes 20 minutes to heat up to it's maximum tempature of 375 degrees.
4.This fryer has a break away electric cord.The kind that uses magnets to hold the plug in the socket.
I personally find this a nuisance.Because sometimes the cord will break away due to slight movement.
PROS:
1.Using a tempature gauge I was able to confirm that this fryer when set to it's maximum tempature of 375 degrees.Does in fact reach 375 degrees with no problem.So far I have used it to fry french fries,onion rings,chicken wings,country fried steak and it's done an excellent job on all of them.
2.This fryer has a timer.I have'nt found any other fryers less than $100 that have a timer.Even the table top commerical fryers that cost upwards of $400 dont have timers.Though I have never used it.I think it's good to have.Even the double tank version they sell dont have a timer.
3.It dismantles without tools easily, making it easy to clean.
UPDATE- 1/12/2011-This fryer used maybe only 3 or 4 times a month (only cooking for one person) lasted less than a year.
