A:Answer Yes it's hot, has taken me some practice not to burn stuff.the time and temp settings are both off. I suggest practicing with in start low with frys. I stayed in kitchen and watched it, and still burned food it cooks fast. And hot. I have used 7x I'm 50% good sofar. When it works it's good. Burning the food suchs, not just the waist but the burnt smell. But at this time I will keep it. It's much better for your health then using oil to fry. So good luck and have fun. Remember less time less temp and watch it for the first couple times your get it.
