1.0 out of 5 starsthe stupid timer has shut the flame off
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2018
The only thing I can say positive, is the stand and burner works well, is stable and seems well made but that is as far as it goes. The timer that is made into the regulator (which requires batteries, (not included) and the battery box doesn't tell the polarity of the batteries) is an absolute joke. If you are cooking anything besides a turkey ( I was cooking split chicken breasts for a large family party), and having to prepare the food before frying becomes a real struggle because every time you turn around, the stupid timer has shut the flame off.Who has time to be watching a tiny green flashing light on the timer, letting you know the timer needs to be reset. So you have to struggle to go into the stand to relight the burner, with the pot on it, or pick up the hot pot of oil, sit it down on the ground, risking a spill of hot oil on your feet and hands, reset the timer, relight the burner, and sit the the pot back on the burner, risking a fire, and try to get the oil temperature in the pot back to the correct heat. Needless to say, some of the chicken was not cooked consistently due to having to stop and struggle with the stupid timer and relighting the burner. on another note, the cooking pots and accessories are functional, but very thinly made. If you have nothing else to do but stand around a turkey fryer and watch a timer waiting to reset it, you might like this cooker. But if you have anything else to do that requires any time, beware of this product. The stand and burner are good, but from the hose out to regulator assembly, and the cooking pots should be sent back to the recycle bin. If I could give this product a lower score, I would ! I am a very unhappy amazon prime member !! I can not believe Amazon would represent and sell such a poorly designed and cheaply manufactured product. I think every Amazon buyer deserves better, and I will see what action will be taken to remedy our problem. Shame on you !!!!
