Secura 1700-Watt Stainless-Steel Triple Basket Electric Deep Fryer with Timer Free Extra Odor Filter, 4L/17-Cup,Silver

Smooth transaction, exactly as described

I’ve only used this appliance one time; but it did a fantastic job of frying chicken legs. Previously, I used a cast iron skillet to fry my fish or chicken. Love cast iron; but on the stove top, you have to continuously adjust the burner settings to keep oil temperature constant.
This Secura deep fryer automatically makes temperature adjustments. As I cooked, I monitored the oil temperature with an infrared thermometer. It exactly matched the dial setting throughout the cook. It knows when to turn the elements on to raise the heat. And, it has a light on the panel that confirms this process.
Setting up the appliance for first use was extremely easy. I didn’t even read any instructions. (not advising you to take shortcuts.) Mostly it was common sense. The heating element can be removed from pot by simply lifting the control panel straight up. Clean the appliance before first use.
There are a couple of cons. The power cord is very short. (about 30 inches.) I’m guessing the manufacturer made it short for safety reasons. If the appliance should ever fall off the counter, the power cord would easily detach because it is held in place with magnetic contacts. This sucks if you have 12 inch-deep cabinets that protrude over a two foot-wide counter. Putting the appliance at the very lip of your counter will still mean that the exhaust from the fryer will baste your cabinets with hot moisture. Could damage the finish of cabinet doors.
I’m not advising anybody to connect an extension cord to this appliance. The manufacturer strongly says Don’t.
However, I do own a bunch of 10 gauge extension cords, ranging from 4 to 100 feet in length. Bought most of them from Amazon. 10 gauge is a safer wire than the 12 or 14 gauge socket you currently use. Just saying.
I use my 10 gauge cords for a lot of heavy electrical drain devices such as pool pump, infrared heaters, induction cook top, welder, battery charger, log splitter, air compressor, etc. Again, not advising you to use a 10 gauge extension cord with the Secura Deep Fryer. Just saying it is the perfect length to allow me to place my deep fryer on top of my stove which has a vent fan to remove moisture and cooking odors.
The next “con” involves the wire cooking basket. I suppose these wire baskets are common throughout the industry among all manufacturers. The mesh on these baskets is small. OK, insures you can fry peas or termites without items dropping from basket.
Somebody please manufacture a basket that will not clog up with egg battered recipes. (half inch spaces between bars.)
On your first use, I suggest you lower basket into hot oil BEFORE adding battered food. Otherwise, coating might stick to mesh basket. On my second load of chicken legs, they did not stick. In fact, drumsticks floated as they neared completion. Don’t overload basket. Fried foods need lots of space between portions. Unlike competitors, the Secura will quickly reheat for the next batch. My oil was ready before I finished coating the next round.
In summary, the Secura 4litre deep fryer is a great first buy for the typical consumer. Very affordable. Cooks perfectly. Heats oil quickly, and maintains desired temperature. As an Amazon customer, you know you can return any defective purchase, so don’t put too much weight on those one-star ratings.
By the way, large chicken drumsticks (twice battered) were done in about 14 minutes. Many foods will probably require less time. There is a glass port that allows you to see when food is floating. This is when you need to remove cover and check doneness with a food thermometer.
YouTube is a great source for deep fryer recipes.

Gone through a number of deep fryers over the years and until this one, I had favored another popular brand and thought that was the best. This one tops it in performance and quality all day long! It is able to maintain the set temperature better than any other household fryer I have ever owned! With useful safety features like a timer that shuts off fryer when time runs out and the usual breakaway cord, as well as replaceable filter on the lid to help screen out strong odors, this one is tops! AND THE SIZE – 4L capacity and being able to cook 2 foods at once with 2 baskets (or a large quantity of one item using third large basket), this is awesome! Cooking for a picky family on a day we decide to do fried foods, I often find myself cooking up 4, 5 or more different things between nuggets, fries, hashbrowns, battered fish, cheese sticks, etc. – and with other models it took forever with only one frying basket or smaller capacity – now cooking is done in under 10 minutes for the same variety of items for the whole family – definitely never going back to a single-basket fryer again!

Disassembly for cleaning is incredibly easy, so that’s a bonus too!

1. **Capacity**: The triple-basket design allows you to fry different foods simultaneously, making it a convenient option for preparing meals for a group or multiple dishes at once.

2. **Powerful Performance**: With a 1700-watt immersion element, this deep fryer heats up quickly and maintains consistent temperatures for efficient frying.

3. **Adjustable Temperature Control**: The adjustable temperature settings give you control over the cooking process, allowing you to achieve the desired level of crispiness for different types of food.

4. **Easy to Clean**: The stainless-steel construction is durable and easy to clean, making maintenance a breeze.

5. **Safety Features**: Many users appreciate the built-in safety features such as a cool-touch handle, splatter guard, and magnetic breakaway cord for added peace of mind during use.

6. **Versatility**: Besides traditional deep frying, this appliance can also be used for tasks like steaming vegetables or boiling pasta, adding to its versatility in the kitchen.

In conclusion, if you are looking for a high-capacity deep fryer with multiple baskets and reliable performance, the Secura 1700-Watt Stainless-Steel Triple Basket Deep Fryer is worth considering based on its positive reputation and features.

With all three baskets, it’s so flexible, I love it.

We made wings, onion rings, and fries today. Everything came out perfect!! So happy with this purchase. Easy set up.
