This fryer is wonderful. Can cook and fry about anything in it. Fried foods are not greasy at all, and the inside is soooo scrumplous, and moist. Don't know how I lived so long with out it. Another thing is that before I got this fryer, when I fried large batches, I had to go outside, or in the garage because of the smoke and odor. NOT so with this one.
Would reccommend this for large crowds.

I love the way this cooker fries chicken. It comes out so nice and crisp. Eventhough it takes a lot of oil, it is still worth it. I haven't used it to steam or boil yet but I know I will enjoy it!!

This was a great item - but it also takes up a lot of counter space - a lot - it would do everything it says it does - but unless you have a big place to set it or store it - you are going to have trouble.

LOVE my deep fryer! My fried chicken wings turned out crispy and moist… (Better than a Deep South restaurant or Paula Dean) and Cajun shrimp were unbelievably delicious. One reviewer was right that this cooker does use a tremendous amount of cooking oil. I had to return to the grocery store twice. So make sure to have at least 2 gallons before you start up your cooker.

This product is good in theory.. the on/off switch is defunkt. It just stopped working after i washed the unit the 1st time.
I bought 2 of these and had to return them both before the month was out. HSN refunded me promptly and the return process was smooth.

Bought this fryer for it's duel function, have a small family and was just planning on deep frying every once in a while, but this deep fryer needs almost a gallon of oil to fill it to it's minimum level. It worked great but I had to return it b/c it's not very efficient if you're not planning on frying a lot.

I have cooked veggies, meat, and potatoes perfectly with this product. I have also fried deliciously moist chicken as well. I would recommend this 100%. Easy to clean. Safe to handle. WTG!

I am so glad I purchased Multi Cooker. The whole chickens I cooked were so moist and tender. The wings were so great also.
I couldn't believe how easy it was to clean up after using it. Great fot quality, price and performance. I tell anyone to buy this great item.
