Multi-purpose gadget you'll actually use
By John I. Carney
I was about to buy a "FryDaddy" small deep fryer at a retail store when the clerk at the checkout asked whether I'd looked at this item right next to it (she'd just bought one herself). I went back and swapped my FryDaddy for the Kitchen Kettle, with no regrets. This gives you deep-frying capability but also functions as a sort of non-crockery slow cooker. My first weekend, I deep-fried chicken wings on Friday night and then made a chicken-and-rice dish on Saturday, with fine results both times.
The heat does come from the bottom, I should note, not from the sides as in a true slow-cooker. Some may not like that. The instructions include recommendations for cleaning the non-stick bottom if it becomes discolored. The kettle is non-stick inside and out.
Best of all, unlike my older-model slow cooker, this one can be immersed (after you unplug the electrical unit).
Because of the danger posed by hot oil when you deep-fry, the unit has a magnetic breakaway cord. Tripping over or tugging the cord will simply separate it from the unit rather than tip the unit over. (Even so, be careful with kids around.)
All in all, seems to be a good buy -- a multi-tasker rather than a specialized item that will wind up in the yard sale.

By Zen Williston
This is a great product that heats up VERY fast, shows quality in design and the teflon seems to be thick rather than the paper thin coating on cheaper appliances. Only time will tell if it holds up but so far, no problem, even using the Whirley-pop popcorn maker top on it to avoid the aluminum pot that comes with the Whirley. It makes the best popcorn I have ever had with no burning and every kernal popped, set at 350... and it does it FAST. Here is my recipe: half cup premium popcorn, tablespoon of canola oil or peanut oil, 2 tablespoons of raw, unprocessed sugar or brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt. Within minutes the lid starts to rise right off the pot. It is great for soups, deep frying, baking potatoes, etc. Great product that inspires creativity.

Great except for non-stick finish not sticking to the pot!
By Charles C. Chaney
I discovered the Kitchen Kettle while searching for something to make my daily pot of soup... and keep it warm. The Kitchen Kettle is fantastic for this BUT, after only a couple months use the non-stick surface is coming off at a tremendous rate! Is this usual or do I have one that is defective. Except for this fault I would rate at the highest level. Is there anything out there that is remotely the equivalent of the KK? I suppose, at about $20/pot that I could replace one every 2-3 months but that seems rather silly.
