While purchasing a deep fryer is not the most health conscience things I've ever done, it did satisfy my urge to make home made fries and onion rings and being to explore other fun options. This Deep Fryer totally fit my needs and budget and has been great. Easy to use, easy to clean, perfect size for day to day.
This is a great deep fryer. We’ve made French Fries and chicken wings and they were as good as those from a restaurant. In fact, this deep fryer reminds me of a restaurant fryer. It does require a lot of oil and that oil cannot be stored in the fryer after use. Pouring it back into the original container is challenging.
Gift for son-in-law. His favorites are fried chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks. The deep fryer heats up to a perfect temperature. Easy to clean. Only downside, a little hard to store when not in use due to the size.
I must say that I have used this appliance only two or three times. For the most part, it performed as I expected. It is rather compact, light-weight and reaches the desired temperature in a reasonable amount of time. We have had to go through the "reset" procedure each time we have used it and found that to be a tad annoying. Maybe it is something that we are doing wrong and will be more attentive in the future when using the appliance. We have several Cuisinart appliances and none are "quirky" like this one.
This is a great fryer. I had to replace my deep fryer and purchased this one. This one is wider and not deep like my other one and because this one is wider it cooks more evenly and much better. I love this fryer. It is very easy to clean and much easier to pour the oil out than my other one. I definitely recommend this product!!!!! I have many Cuisinart products and am happy with every one of them.
