how do the drains work on this if you are frying potatoes with the skins on?

I really like this unit, it works great, frys like a champ. Make sure you use a thermometer to reach the proper heat, which I use 170-190 for my frying chicken, fish, & French fries. The drain is large enough for the cooled oil to drain properly, the heat element raises up so you can remove any large particles or peaces. I use a towel in the floor underneath. Cleaning is a project but it's quite rewarding when I cook for large groups. It makes fried foods crisp, and golden brown. I keep it clean when not in use, and cover it until I need it again... I love it!!!

Make sure u have the screen in front of the drain.when u ready to drain the oil. Make sure power is off & the heating element is on upward position & then u can take the screen off and turn the faucet to open position

Yes, it has a removable grate at the bottom, for wood, and another on top that you can use for cooking. No drain holes.

It drains by a short length of hose you provide to wherever you want it to drain. Remember, it's just water/soap/rinsing product that goes out and into/onto wherever you aim it. No chunks. This is not a kitchen sink. It's your gardening/grilling/fish cleaning friend.

I've never used mine for anything but potatoes (& it works great!). My gut response is to say no, I think the bean skins would clog the holes.

Hi There, Girl!.....I use mine with waffle-cut frozen potatoes.....just put a single layer on a shallow pan that isn't so big, that the hot air can't circulate.....Use the tall rack.....I set the temp at 400, and set for 10 mins per side.....the timer tends to cut the heat off at about 7 mins, but the potatoes get brown and pretty fast.....I hope this suggestion helps you:)

There are overflow outlets at the top of the barrel that will drain the excess. These are probably closed over when you get them so you can just punch or drill a drain hole the size that you want

There is a drain stop inside of it. You just pull the stopper out and it drains.

Yes, that is exactly how I use mine. My husband drilled several holes through the plastic drain pan it comes with so it wouldn't hold water. I didn't want the metal scratching my sink or leaving rust marks so I place the plastic drainer down first to protect it.

I do not need oil with mine. I have put battered fish & frozen potatoes on to crisp without any extra oil so I do not have a problem with oil dripping through the holes.

There Is a grease container under the drain holes. At least on my stove there is.

This product is for draining grease from pan after frying. It separates grease from bits left in grease after frying so the grease saved is clear. Strainer not large enough to use with meat. You need a collander for that

There are multiple holes in this splatter guard. I only use this for frying, to try & keep the grease in the pan. I would have to assume, because of the holes, that there would be very little steam build up by using this cover.

This particular sink has the off set drain. There's not any problems with drainage that I can see. Works just like a normal center drain.

I find it drains very well. Easy to clean. Once in a awhile I put it into the sink to wash it. Easy.

Hey Anna, I put a Meyer Lemon in it and they need superb drainage. There is no on/off solution with this product, I used a drill.

I haven't used it in that way. I use it for chopping vegetables and nuts. If needed just drain it by pouring excess off.

The drain insert allows you to steam--not quite as deep as the pot--pulls out and has holes around the sides to let any water drain out and back into the pot before pouring out the crabs, lobster, etc
