TaraLee says "When you want it fried and you want it fast." about Waring Deep Fryer - DF250

I have to confess, I love fried food. I am trying to not eat fried foods as much, but there is nothing finer than a fried potato, if you ask me. I first saw the Waring Deep Fryer at a friends house. We were having a cooking contest and I accused him of having an unfair advantage because he was using the Waring Deep fryer. Although I ended up winning, the deep fryer made it easy for him to win the appetizer portion of the contest. This deep fryer heats quickly and has a deep basket, that is sturdy and has enough room for a large piece of fish, the handles stay cool and the mechinism for lowering the product seems to minimize splashes. the stainless steel oil resevoir looks professional enough that it is not unsightly to have on your counter. I was resistant in purchasing this because it is so easy to use that my consumption of fried food will increase.

I finally broke down and registered for one for my wedding. We received it a few weeks ago and already I am making homemade potato chips....

After hours and hours spent surfing web sites and buying guides, I finally settled on a hand-full of deep fryers. I wish more stores were like Best Buy in that you can see if an item is available (in-store) for immediate pick up. Most other places don't include that information on their respective web sites. Helps save on gas too.

Finally decided to actually do some detective work and search several stores for hands-on inspection of the various styles and construction. Checked out Sears, Macy's, JC Penneys and Bed, Bath and Beyond. I go to BB&B so often the girls there know me by name. Everytime I walk in they ask me if I just received a new coupon in the mail. I go there quite often to purchase my Keurig coffee cups.

Not only did BB&B have the Waring Pro Deep Fryer, but it was marked down from $119.99 to $99.99. I 'stacked' a couple of coupons and ended up purchasing the unit for $77.37 (tax included). What a deal!

Came home, cleaned up the unit, set it up and cooked up...

Nean says "A heavy duty item" about Waring Deep Fryer - DF250

I have a waring. I purchased mine from Bed, Bath and Beyond. IT was the only fryer they had. the price was bit on the high side. I think it was a little to big to store, but you have to have the space. I have not really used it yet. I tried to use it one time, but I needed a lot of oil. Once I use it. I can give better advice. I am excited about using it. It seems very easy to clean. most of the items can go into the dishwasher. I cannot wait to use it....

Waring Pro Deep Fryer is reliable, fast and so far seems to be high quality. It gets to temperature fast, recovers temperature fast and fries consistantly.

I have owned a number of other Deep Fat Fryers and although I have liked several of them initially, I have found that on the larger fryers the heating elements or the electronic controls seem to fail on regular basis soon after purchase.

Some of the Tub type fryer (Fry Daddy, etc.) seem to be more reliable but are slow to heat have limited capacity and are very slow to recover temperature if frying multiple batches. As a restauranteur I have high standards for kitchen appliances and am often disappointed by consumer models. After having access to high temperature gas deep fat fryers it is hard to find a countertop electric that is satisfying.

High temperature, large capacity and fast recovery are key to getting a meal for many to the table and this model for a consumer product does its job nicely. No it is not the same as a $3,000...

Snyd76 says "Waring Pro DF250 deep fryer is the BEST" about Waring Deep Fryer - DF250

I am absolutely delighted by the durability and output of the Waring Pro DF250 deep fryer!After having had many fryers, with another disappointing adventure awaiting me, I looked hard and reviewed many articles and reviews before purchasing the Waring. My last ones' heating element went out upon the fourth time using it. Waring received a lot of good articles on it, so I purchased it. I've had it for three months now, and have used it too numerous of times to count. I feel as if I have finally found a product I can rely on for quite some time to come. The re-heat time between adding foods and frying is very minimal.It recovers very quickly. Is very simple to clean, and the basket shape is quite unique by comparison of. It is wide rather than just deep.So the foods are placed ON the basket,not just in, and fry evenly without having to stir them up. The on drawback is the plug on the unit. It does not clamp on very well. So if you should move the unit while frying,even slightly, it will fall...
