How much oil do you use in each basket?

There is a line inside the tank that will tell you how much to put in. Be careful not to overfill as it can bubble up and overflow easily.

I'm sorry I can't answer your question. I used the basket for a different purpose.

I bought 4 Qts, but it didn't take all of it. Do not overfill! What I do is empty into oil tray then pour the old oil into a gallon milk container to see how much came out. I thinks it was about 3 Qts.

I am uncertain. We have used ours for years and years and always add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Hi John,Here are the Product Dimensions: 9.7 x 9 x 8.5 inches, the scooper works wonders and it isn't that deep hence a basket to use is kind of pointless. If you can find a circular basket and want to use a basket, then yes a 7" basket would work. There is also a fill line for the oil and please be mindful if you are frying a wet item like funnel cake batter to allow room for the oil to expand (approximately 3 inches in height). As a precaution, I use my fry daddy outside on top of newspapers and particle board. The newspaper allows for easy cleanup. You will thoroughly enjoy this product. Clean up is super easy too. I hope this info helps. Hi John,Here are the Product Dimensions: 9.7 x 9 x 8.5 inches, the scooper works wonders and it isn't that deep hence a basket to use is kind of pointless.

we use about 1 liter and leave it in the fryer for next time. Just like a restaurant only we use olive oil for better health. We love this fryer. It makes great banana chips too.

One. I bought one --- it works well, and contents of the basket are drained when you lift the basket --- though using only one basket seems a bit off balance during cooking. I still like it though (I cook only for one).

I use 1 tablespoon but it depends on your individual taste. If you want it heavier, then use more, lighter then use less.

According to the Hamilton Beach deep fryer manual, "fill fryer with not less than 10 to not more than 12 cups of oil to top indicator mark on the oil pot."

I would probably say 1 tbsp. That's what I use and that is more than enough.

Well, that's a tricky question... Each basket could hold 12-14 wings but, that doesn't work because the wings can't move in the oil. I've found a maximum of 8 per basket is ideal.

I did. I put in what I could fit and then the rest when the oil was low enough. I know for sure it can't hurt and it's not that expensive. I bought extra bottles in case I need them but so far I haven't. Hope this helps you. Ami.

Yes, I let the oil cool for about 2 hrs. then empty the oil into a container. It hasn't been necessary to strain the oil. When it is completely cooled I store it in my refrigerator. I don't know if that is necessary but I'm comfortable storing it that way. I wipe out the DeLonghi container and then run hot water through it and dry with a paper towel. The basket is very easily washed. All this takes at most a half hour and when I ready to use it again I'm comfortable about food safety.

that depends on how many you are making. I got three 5 pound bag to do about 200 bags and to have some left over to put into a basket.

Good little fryer..If you are looking at lbs of food by a bigger one...for quicker recovery time buy a gas one... Most of the body is taken up with the heater core...Basket sits on top of that..I think there might be 2 or 2 1'2 inches of grease in basket...Clean up is very fast..Does hold 10L of grease but your only using a little of it... Great LITTLE fryer for a small family not a gathering...for a group go bigger and gas......Mike

I buy a 5 gallon container and use about 3/4 between both sides. That brings it about 4-5 inches from the top. I do that so it doesn't overflow and cause a fire when I put whatever I'm frying into the hot oil. I still use mine and an loving it. I have fried up to 50lbs of fish and fries at one time.
