Only tried the cage once, for chips, using raw potatoes. They all stuck together and moved upwards a little way then the whole lot slid back down in a block. No 'tumbling' action at all. But I guess it might work OK on a lot of smaller, non sticky things - but I'm not sure what! Might be OK for popping corn??

Otherwise the main issue with the cage is the fact that after you have pulled the cage out of the fryer you then have to remove the shaft and open the door and tip out the tucker with it all stinking hot. Can't do it wearing oven mitts as it's far too fiddly.

Overall, I find this oven quite good, but there are far bigger ovens available, which seem to actually be the capacity they say they are (which is a bonus!), and appear far better 'appointed', for not much more than this cost. So I can hardly wait for this one to stop working!!

(And talking of size: they say, size isn't everything, and in that spirit I guess you might use the rotisserie for a quail or a starling, or even an escargot, but a chook?? Would have to be newly hatched.)

Thanks mate,i'll skip using the cage. I recieved this fryer as a birthday present so i hope it keep's going,but yeah,i'm sorta keen on it to pack it in so i can buy a better product.

I just select the first menu, or any menu, and adjust time and temperature to my liking after that. It lets you change the temp and time after you select a menu. I couldn't figure the same thing out so worked my own way around it.

I give that a go thank you

Yes, just click + or - as you want. The 'pre-selections' just select a time and temperature, choose one closest to what you want, and adjust from there.
