Bryan,
I didn't realize that you needed so much oil in order to avoid a soggy mess. I will definitely make sure to get a larger one. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
The more oil the fryer holds, the less the temp drops when you lower the cold or frozen food in. Even with the 5 litre, I tend to over-crowd the basket at times. If the temp drops too low, then the oil gets absorbed into the food, not good. HTH
