User questions & answers

Question:	where to get extra oil filters for Secura 4.2L/17 cup
Answer:	The fryer does not come with any oil filters. I comes with one set of installed carbon filters and also one extra set so that when you have the lid on, all vapors pass through the carbon and really helps with any smell in the kitchen. I purchased the oil filter that Amazon usually shows that would be a good accessory for the fryer. It does let small particles pass through but so far they have not affected anything. The next time I see a restaurant supply store I think I will check out their filters. The one that Amazon recommends is certainly better than nothing and only costs around $10.
Question:	Is there a dispenser for the removal of the oil, or is it removed the old fashioned way
Answer:	There is not a dispenser. You have to pour it out
Question:	Where can I purchase a replacement power cord? Ours got knocked into the trash, but we did not notice until it was too late
Answer:	http://www.amazon.com/Secura-Deep-Fryer-Magnet-Power/dp/B007P03668
Question:	Does this come with any kind of cooking booklet
Answer:	Not that I remember. I have used a fryer before, so I would likely have tossed it if it did. Pretty simple operation. Fill with oil to max fill line, plug it in, turn heat to highest setting, turn timer on, allow to heat up, lower food into oil and put the lid on. Check food every few minutes to see if done.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it easy to clean
Answer:	Yes it is very easy to clean. The reservoir alone with the heating element lifts out of the unit, that makes it a snape clean.
Question:	The oil filter it self, does it need to be replaced or cleaned
Answer:	The filter is a built in wire mesh type and doesn't need to be replaced as far as I can tell. The only part that may need to be replaced at some point is the rubber seal around it. Hope that helps. I've been using mine for a few months and absolutely love it. The best part of this fryer is the filter system and how you can drain your oil and store it in the plastic container until you need it again. It makes for cleaning and replacing the oil a breeze.
Question:	Can you leave the plastic oil container in while frying
Answer:	Yes - The 'fry" switch keeps the hot oil separated from the plastic oil storage container while frying. Once the oil has cooled, the switch is turned to drain and it flows into the storage container.
Question:	How many oil re-use cycles is recommended? I know there comes a time when the oil goes bad, gets overloaded with flavors from previous cookings, etc
Answer:	Big Ron,I've used it 8x already and probably could maybe squeeze a couple more out. But, I think 8-10 is a good estimate depending on the type of foods your cooking. I've used it to cook meat, desserts, ect... in all the same cycle of oil.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this product maintain temperatures of 350 + over reliably
Answer:	Sorry, but i only have used it once. We used it for a fish fry and did great! We feed about 30 people or more and had no problems.
Question:	Can you cook with the lid on the unit or must it be removed
Answer:	Yes, you can cook with the lid on the unit.
Question:	what is pot made of
Answer:	I spoke with Hamilton Beach tech support and they confirmed my suspicion that the pot is enamel coated, NOT teflon coated.
Question:	Do you have to take the oil out or can it be stored in the deep fryer
Answer:	Depends on what you are going to fry. If you are going to fry any type of sea food like fish or shrimp you should change the oil before you use the fryer next time. if you fry other items other than seafood you can leave the oil in the fryer. You should definitely use peanut oil instead of canola oil or any other cooking oil. Peanut oil fry's your food better and it does not leave your food greasy taste. You can reuse you oil 3-4 times before changing the oil and cleaning your fryer. I love my little fryer it works great. I hope this is helpful to you and happy frying. Just remember that hot oil and water don't mix so when you're going to fry something make sure that you lower your basket of food real slow so the hot oil doesn't overflow and cause a fire.Bob

SAMPLE RECIPE:

To make the sauce:

1. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the sesame oil, garlic, and ginger, and cook for 1 minute.

2. Add the broth, soy sauce, sriracha, and hoisin, and whisk to combine.

3. Whisk in the cornstarch and continue cooking over low heat until the sauce starts to thicken, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover, and set aside.

To make the chicken:

1. Add the chicken, soy sauce, and cornstarch to a medium bowl. Toss to combine.

2. Place the chicken in the air fryer basket, spray with olive oil, and bake for 16 minutes, stopping halfway through to toss the chicken and spray with a little more olive oil. Continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 180°F and the juices run clear.

3. Once the chicken is done cooking, transfer to a large bowl and toss with the sauce.

4. Top with the scallion and sesame seeds, and serve.

Variation tips: You can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. Feel free to add in some dried red chili peppers if you like to heat it up even more. You can also add 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes to this recipe. To keep things on the lighter side, you can also skip tossing the chicken in the soy sauce and cornstarch.

User questions & answers

Question:	With the lid covered, does this deep fryer produce a lot of smoke when frying? I don't want to set off my smoke detector... Thanks
Answer:	To correctly answer the question - no. It requires 120vac @ 60hz. British supply is 230vac @ 50hz. Need to buy version made for the juice where it will be used; this appliance is made to work on a 15amp 120v breaker which is common is US households.
Question:	amount of oil required for frying
Answer:	It hooks inside high out of the oil
Question:	where can I order the charcoal replacement filter
Answer:	There is a magnetic connection between the cord and the fryer. If you attempt to connect the cord upside down, the cord will fall out of the fryer socket. Note which side you are trying to put the plug into the fryer socket, if it falls out turn the plug over and plug in with the opposite side up. Also the cord can't have ANY TENSION on it. The cord needs to be able to be plugged in to the wall socket without any form of pulling on the cord connected to the fryer. If you can't do this then you need a appliance extension cord (a heavy duty since plug extension generally 3ft long with only 1 plug) Don't just buy any cheap extension cord or power strip as they aren't designed to handle the load of the fryer and can overheat and start a fire.
Question:	Is there a way to save the oil
Answer:	Counting the plugs at either end, 35".

Question:	is the power cord magnetized/polarized? or is it the standard power cord
Answer:	Just a standard plug. Works great.
Question:	Has anyone tested the max temperature that the oil gets? What is that temp
Answer:	On the one that I got, it was maybe 325. Not high enough to do good french fries.
Question:	What is the minimum amount of oil that can be used
Answer:	Geez what a bunch of bad answers.Marks on the inside.Manual states that max = 3 liters(approx 3 quarts) and min= 2 liters.My experience verifies this. 2 liters of expensive oil brought the level up to min. One more brought it to max.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do you have to tip this over to change oil, or is there a spout that opens somewhere to release the oil
Answer:	There is no convenient spout to drain the oil. In fact you first have to remove the immersion heating assembly by lifting it up and out, then lift out the removable pot containing the oil from the outer housing to be able to pour the oil out.
Question:	Can the fryer be used for doughnuts that need to be fryed in lard
Answer:	I would disagree. I've used solid fats in every deep fryer I've ever owned (both lard and shortening). After they melt, they're synonymous with oil. Cleaning the unit after it has cooled is a different matter, but the solution is simply to pour the liquified fat into a separate container before it solidifies.
Question:	Does this have a lid, (I assume it does but it is not pictured)? Also what kind of lid? Does it have a filter, can you leave it on while cooking
Answer:	Yes there is a lid and you can keep it on while cooking. You can find this information on the product's website: http://www.gopresto.com/products/products.php?stock=05466
Question:	How hot does the outside of the unit get while in use
Answer:	The outer shell is separate from the inner container that holds the oil. So, there is about a half inch of space separating the inside container from the outer shell. The heating element is immersed in the oil and does not touch the bottom of the unit. The sides get warm to the touch. It is quite safe for a kitchen countertop.
