Title: Does not heat up!!
Review: Fryer has a great concept. Had mine for about 1 year. I often wondered how come my old "Fry Daddy" cooked food much faster; then I measured the temperature (about 25-30 times) in different areas within the grease and used 3 different thermometers. Never did the temperature go past 327; even after it heated up (without any food) for about 30 minutes. I took it to an authorized repair shop and they advised the part (degree dial) would cost [$$]and take over 2 months to ship (also, I would have to pay S&H charges!). I did just call T-FAL and they said that they would honor the warranty even if I have had it for more than 1 year, and replace the heating element. Will have to wait and see what the outcome is. ............ But, I would shop around for the same design before buying a new one.
