Sunbeam 5 Qt Aluminum Deep Fat Fryer 1500W Adjustable Thermostat Basket Lid

Vintage Sunbeam 5-Quart Aluminum Automatic Cooker / Deep Fat Fryer with adjustable thermostat, removable frying basket, vented aluminum lid, and detachable power cord.  This vintage Sunbeam appliance is very clean for its age and has been tested. It was plugged in and the heating element became hot as expected. The thermostat adjusts from OFF through WARM and SIMMER, with temperature settings up to 400°F. It was tested for basic heating operation only and was not tested through a complete cooking or frying cycle with food or oil.  The built-in cooking guide on the handle provides suggested temperatures and cooking times for items such as pot roast, soups, stews, vegetables, chicken, French fries, fish, doughnuts, fritters, onions, and shrimp. Its large 5-quart aluminum vessel and 1500-watt heating system make it useful for deep frying, simmering, stewing, and general countertop cooking.  Included exactly as shown:   Sunbeam 5-quart aluminum cooker/deep fryer  Adjustable thermostat and control handle  Detachable power cord  Vented aluminum lid with black knob  Removable perforated aluminum frying basket  The pot, lid, and basket are clean and free of heavy burned-on grease or food residue. As expected with a genuine vintage aluminum appliance, there are scratches, scuffs, utensil marks, light discoloration, and other normal signs of age, use, and storage. The black handle, red temperature dial, lid knob, feet, cord, and basket are present as pictured.  Please review all photog
