I live this little deep fryer. Although it takes awhile to heat up once it’s at the desired temp does an excellent job off keeping it there. Ez to empty and clean. Very help to have the temperature control and the little basket works great. I’ve had all kinds of deep fryer including a very fancy built in one that was a huge pain to clean. Takes up minimal counter space. Great for small as well as larger tasks. Fir larger tasks it may take a little longer to get it all done but more than makes up for it in the ease of cleaning and use friendly simplicity
Great little deep fryer. However if you deep fry things regularly or in large portions maybe opt for the larger size. It also only heats to 375 which is fine for me, but something to be aware of. This is perfect for deep frying for 1-2 people. I am so happy with all of my Cuisinart products!
This is the perfect size for 2 -3 people. It’s about the size of a toaster. Cooks great. Easy to clean. The basket and cord fit inside fryer for storage. I fry with the lid off but you can fry with the lid on (probably recommended) the lid is dishwasher safe. Wipe down the outside. Easy pour spout if you need to get the oil back in a bottle. Easy to use and easy to clean up and store. This was a really good buy.
Works fine for what I needed. Wish I had gotten the larger unit. Cons-temperature dial is not accurate. To compensate, I pre heat the oil for about 30 minutes at max (375 degrees) before adding food. Pros-love the basket and easy to clean
This little fryer did a good job at frying small portions of food. This fryer is not meant for a large family but it's good for just my wife and myself. The one thing I would change is to make the oil pan removable for cleaning in the sink or dishwasher.
