The description tells how much, 9 cups, or just over half a gallon of oil if that is what you were asking (at least for the one I'm looking at).

The wire basket can hold 9 cups of food. The amount of oil depends on if you fill to the min or max fill line: The MIN and MAX fill levels are embossed inside the removable pot. The maximum amount of oil for this fryer is 4½ quarts and the minimum amount is 3¼ quarts.

It holds a generous amount of food. You can get 4 pieces of chicken in it comfortably. I have owned this for several years and love it!!

It holds one gallon of cooking oil. I had my fryer since 2007. Still going on strong.

Get the 10 inch covered fryer. It has straight sides like a saute pan. But it probably a little shy of 10 inches.

It weights about 27 pounds and the overall Dimensions: 23" x 18" x 12". Hope this helps, and FYI you need to use 2 outlets, 1 outlet will not hold it. My husband loves it, he just made about 120 fillets in less than an hour and the heat did not drop. This is the 3rd deep fryer I have bought for him and it is perfect!

I couple of years ago, I bought the Cuisinart GreenGourmet GG22-30 12". About 4 months ago, food started sticking so bad, I had to get another frying pan, which wasn't a Cuisinart. Purchased the GreenPan, which we are very happy with.

Yes! The clean up is SO EASY. There is a pouring lip at the corner and it's lightweight and a manageable size. When I'm not going to use it for a ewhile, I pour hot soapy water into the reservoir and rinse it out. Otherwise, you can just paper towel it between uses. This is perfect for 2 people and takes up very llittle space on the counter. It heats up fast and uses less energy than bigger fryers. I love it.

7"X8" plenty big enough for us. The best deep-fryer I have owned-really cooks the food well done fast like I like it and is a easy clean.

We keep the fryer close to the outlet. There is slack in the line. However, that was never the cause of ours and the heating issues. We had no problem with this unit for a couple of years. But this year, our issue is that it will not stay heated. But that does not happen all the time. It's hit or miss. If it's new and exchangeable, I would change it out now while it is still new. Overall, the unit has worked well for us. It's only recently that it has had sporadic heating issues.

I reuse it once or twice depending on type of food I fried. I run it thru a strainer and refrigerate it. It's a nice little fryer for everyday use. If I was cooking for more than 2 people, it would be small. It's hard to keep things hot when frying multiple batches.

I would recommend filling the oil up to the max fill level as it is a small fryer. When the oil is at max level the basket is submerged just over 2 inches. Of course when the fryer is on/hot the oil bubbles up higher than that once the food is introduced. I changed the oil last week and it took approx. 72 ounces of oil to fill it. The oil lasts a long time just stored in the fryer on the counter however, you could extend its life by straining it through a coffee filter lined strainer and refrigerating the it. Our family uses the fryer primarily to make single servings of fries, chicken nuggets, and the like. I would recommend filling the oil up to the max fill level as it is a small fryer.

I agree that some reviews look fishy (as are some answers to your question). Yes, this is essentially a small convection oven, not a "fryer". You will get exactly the same results in a convection (or regular) oven.

The basket is 7"x10" and 3.5" deep. The "fill" line is about half way up the basket. You can easily fry 8-10 chicken tenders at a time. I've put in 3 chicken fried steaks at once, and we made homemade fries and but up 6 potatoes and fried them up at one time. Great fryer!

The one I have is a single unit. It works ok for warming for a short time, but it's made for cooking. I've heard that on the double unit, the larger burner works well for cooking but the small one is better for warming. It doesn't get hot very fast and it doesn't get as hot as the large burner.

We had ours for, maybe, six years before it quit recently. I found that we could limit the spontaneous cord detaching to two or three per batch of fries if we held our breath while in the vicinity of the unit. Otherwise, it wouldn't stay attached long enough to heat the oil sufficiently to cook. Perhaps that's the 'safety' part. This 'feature' will definitely weigh heavily when choosing a replacement. Otherwise, I loved this fryer!

The basket measurements are measured from the inside of the basket. 7.25"Wx10"Lx3.75"D. You can fill up to the fill line on the basket, which is 2". You can fill nearly a gallon of oil in the pan. It has a MAX fill line on the inside of the pan. At first I thought it was a little small. I like it more and more every time I use it. It is easy to drain the oil. I drain the oil every second time I use it. The filter screen is very good, so you can keep reusing the oil. I think it is a great fryer, well thought out

I'm not sure as I bought is for a chicken fryer and it does a wonderful job. Especially if you have a problem with your hands and the two handles. I have osteoarthritis and it works great for me. I would say it may be 5 or 6 quarts, however, I really never measured it. It should say in their ad.

Just shor of the dimensions of the fryer itself,however this is a lousy product! The lid does not close over the large basket and it burned out on me after two months use! DO NOT BUY THIS FRYER!

Honestly I don't recall but the tiny sauce pan is about 5 inches diameter and the medium one is about 7 inches. The large fryer is probably 12 inches and the stewpot is perhaps 10 but rather tall...enough for a pot of stew for a large family. I think the two saute pans are 8 and 10 inches. Good luck.
