I have one of these and use it all the time. We fry everything from fish sticks to chicken nuggets for my grandson in a flash. It 's really handy that the oil stays in the kettle so that you don't have to try to cool it and pour it into a  container to save. Fish sticks come out crispier faster than in the oven. We use our Fry Daddy at least once a week. We bread and fry our own vegetables from the garden. Okra and zucchini are great done in this little kettle. This is one of the best Christmas gifts Santa ever put under my tree!!!
