Verdict

The Masterbuilt MB20010118 electric fryer has received mixed reviews from customers. While some have found it easy to use and have had success frying turkeys, others have experienced issues with the unit not reaching the desired temperature or shutting off unexpectedly. The size of the fryer has also been a concern for some, as it takes up a lot of counter space. The magnetic plug has also been a point of contention for some users. Overall, the fryer seems to be a good alternative to outdoor frying for Thanksgiving, but users should be aware of potential issues and take care when using the unit.

The Safety features make this Fryer look bad/faulty when it really could be Awesome

This fryer started out awesome. I unboxed it and put the oil in and plugged in the power cord. At first the fryer did not come on but when I closed the lid it may have tightened the safety switch and it turned on. I set the temp and once the oil was hot I slowly lowered the whole turkey breast in. T...

Very convenient but has issues

If you want a fried turkey this is the easiest, most convenient option. I fried two small turkeys over Thanksgiving (about 13lbs each) and the family loved it! We will never go back to oven roasted. Some issues though: It doesn't actually hit 375.. I put a thermometer in the oil as it was heating up...

Quick, but not impressive

In my experience, this was easy to use and cooked our turkey very quickly, like, in 1 hour. I barely had time to prepare sides for Thanksgiving dinner! So that was good. That was probably all I really loved about this machine though honestly. It was fast. And I suppose it's safer than a traditional ...

First unit never got up to temp.

The first unit ordered never got up to temp. Red and green lights turned on with start up but went 'dark' after 45 minutes or so. Dropped in an eight pound chicken and the lights (light) never came back on again. Chicken was 'yellow-ish' when it was removed. Probably not safe to eat and was disgarde...

Wow. This thing is humongous! Make sure you have a big kitchen with lots of counter space and storage as it will take up most of it. I just wanted something for cooking for my wife and I. This will cook enough for the French Foreign Legion. My bad for not realizing how big it was. Interestingly, the...

Temperature takes forever to get to were it needs to be

It took so long for the temperature to get where it was needed, I thought about unplugging it and tossing it in the trash, but finally after an hour and half the green light came on, I lowered the turkey down into the grease and it cooked it perfectly.

Great Tasting Turkey - but too much of an "oily" mess.

This fryer makes a great turkey in about 2 hours. But the fryer is just not for me. Here is why: Operating Costs: It needs about 3 gallons of oil. I used peanut oil and the price was around $35. I read that you can use the oil up to 7 times, but I am only going to use it maybe 1-2 times a year. Not ...

Wouldn’t stay hot enough

I love everything about this fryer. After years of using propane, I thought I would give this electric fryer a try. So I ordered it and thought we should try it out before using it for Thanksgiving, so we had some friends over, fried some turkeys and whatever else we could think to throw in there. I...

Mostly awesome cooker

I love this thing apart from two things. First, the power cord. It's incredibly short, but the instructions say to NOT use an extension cord.....You pretty much have no choice. Unless you want this thing on the counter creating steam, removing your wallpaper, you need to use an extension cord. I use...

No customer support. Terrible temp control.

The good news. The item was fairly priced and arrived intact and on time. The bad news. Customer service is non existent. None. Zero. The instruction manual gives you a phone number to call. If you do it, a recording, tells you to go to the website. Did that to register my unit. I've yet to hear bac...
