Good Things Do Come In Small Packages
By Daniel G. Lebryk
Wow, I’m a big fan of fried foods, homemade french fries particularly fried in Canola Oil. I’ve applied industrial restaurant sized fryers and worked from a stove top. This little puppy is in all probability one of the best little friers I’ve ever seen.
Most of the negative view of this fryer may be solved by plainly reading the instruction booklet. Number one complaint, the cord falls off. Well yes it does, and that is by design. The cord is held into it’s socket on the fryer side with a magnet. This is so you may unplug the unit without pulling the fryer over and burning yourself with hot oil. It’s a mutual mistake, thinking the cord is broken. If you plug this in, attach the magnet end and don’t move the frier, it will not come unplugged.
Number two complaint, the basket is flimsy and falls over itself. It does not do that if you install the handle correctly. You have to squeeze the two sides and slip the pins into two holes and underneath a tab – the handle will never ever move in this position.
Here’s what I love in regards to this appliance, it uses a little amount of oil – around a quart / liter. We don’t have fried foods very often, and I don’t cook a whole chicken at once. It’s just perfective for those side dishes – appetizer mozzarella sticks, egg rolls, jalapeno poppers, etc. You may do chicken fingers, fish sticks, donuts in here. Food cooks evenly and quickly. Heat up time is around 3 or 4 minutes. Cooking time varies a lot, but may be around 3 or 4 minutes.
The cover is ingeneous – it closes down tight around the top and the basket so no splashing of oil happens. Cook on the counter top with no fear of splashing oil everywhere. The carbon filter shouldn’t be cleaned each use, and it prevents splashes from coming out of the lid. The clear window, may see that oil will cloud that up over time, but it’s handy to see inside.
Frankly, I love this unit. It’s well built, solid construction, feels good in use. Cuisinart built a good little fryer in this unit.

Great and Small
By Caroline
I like this fryer. I fried a lot of Japanese-style feed for a family of 4 and there is no oily smell in the house afterwards. It took me a while though. It is all right since I do not want a big appliance on my countertop anyway and that was why I purchased it. The fryer is idealisti for frying chicken nuggets, shrimp and even Tofu. I gave it 4 stars coz it is in truth small. It is too little if you are thinking of frying bone-in chicken [...]

Nice For Two Servings…
By Little
…but I am baffled as to why a good bit of the batter sticks to the bottom of the basket no matter what. I’ve employed two dissimilar batter recipes, have thick and thin-coated the items, use peanut oil, tried heating the basket or keeping it out until loading, cook only 4-6 items at a time, always add items only when it has heated up to Ready…dunno. Other than that, it’s compact, stores well, heats up fast and evenly, cooks beautifully, no spatters, easy to drain and clean, no scratches. I closely want to throw feed in without the basket and then fish out with a spider or tongs.
For the price, a great deal.
