Smaller than expected. Think the lid should be designed for easier cleaning as lots of hard to get to pockets where the oil gets trap in.

The one-quart deep fryer category is problematic. This is the third product I have tried, and although better than the other two, it doesn't really live up to Cuisinart's reputation. The lid is not securely attached, and the thermostat runs 50 degrees hotter than indicated on the dial. It's all the two of need though, so I'll keep using it.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you sharing your detailed feedback. For best performance, we recommend ensuring the lid is properly aligned and secured, and verifying the oil temperature with a thermometer if possible, as overfilling or debris buildup can sometimes affect thermostat accuracy. If you continue to have concerns, please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 so we can further assist. Thank you for your feedback, as it helps us improve future models.

Growing up we had a deep fryer. You could almost cook a whole bag of french fries in there. I am obviously not familiar with quarts because I didn't realize how small this was going to be. It does the job it's supposed to do and it does it well, but the portions are tiny. This is not meant for cooking up food for a party. It's easy to clean mainly because it is so small it doesn't take much to clean it. If you plan on using this occasionally for one person, than it should be fine. For large gatherings, than no.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love that the CDF-100 keeps the desired temperature. When I fry fish, I want the oil to stay at the high temperature during cooking. The CDF-100 accomplishes this for me.

Since I’m only cooking for one this is the perfect solution when I want to deep fry.
Ease of use make this a no-brainer. I use a 4 cup measuring cup to fill and drain with a strainer. It really performs well! The basket was the selling point for me. You can fry without it but the basket is great for fries and other smaller items!

I highly recommend this for single/small batch frying!

This little fryer exceeded my expectations. We are a gluten free family and have been craving donuts and other fried foods for a long time. I found this compact fryer and thought it would be nice to try making our own yummy snacks. It’s compact for storing and leaving on the counter, but big enough to fit a couple of donuts at a time. It was easy to use and cooked the food perfectly every time. Highly recommend!

Very easy to use and to clean. Size is perfect and doesn’t take up a lot of room.
