Enjoy restaurant-quality fried food at home--without taking up a lot of counter space--using this mini deep fryer. The machine's user-friendly control panel makes it easy to adjust the heat up to 375 degrees F, while its powerful 1500-watt immersion-style heating element provides fast heat-up and recovery times. Simply add up to 1-2/7 pounds of food to the heavy mesh frying basket, then lower it into the hot oil using the cool-touch handle for safety. Batches of French fries, battered onion rings, doughnuts, and more come out fried to crispy perfection--just lift the basket to drain. Other thoughtful design details include "power" and "ready" indicator lights, a 2-quart enamel-coated oil container with a pouring spout, stabilizing feet, and stay-cool lid, basket, and side handles. When finished, the lid, oil container, and detachable basket handle clean up easily by hand or in the dishwasher. Attractively housed in brushed stainless steel, the mini deep fryer measures 14 by 10-1/5 by 11-4/5 inches.
Best small fryer!
I originally bought the Cuisinart CDF-100 fryer because this unit was always out of stock. This was the one I wanted. The Cusinart fried good, but clean up was a lot more time consuming. You had to pour water in the unit while its on your countertop. With this, the oil box is seperate from the base. You can throw it in the dishwasher or wash under the sink. It has a lot of plastic parts, this has a lot of stainless steel.
This basket is nice and big, the side walls of the oil box are high and probably double the size of the Cusinart, less oil splattering everywhere. The cusinart has a charcoal filter for smell. I fry with peanut oil, the oil has no smell compared with cheaper veggie or canola oil. This unit has no charcoal filter, you don't need it. Lots of condensation would occur if there was a filter. Everytime I opened the lid to the Cuisinart, I had to wipe inside of the lid, if not, the water would drip in the oil and you get the popping sounds from the oil.
So why do I have this after I have the Cusinart? The basket on the Cusinart rest on the bottom of the frying box. The interior of the box is coated with a thin non stick coating. The coating got scratched in a few spots and I'm not going to fry in that. This happened after only a few weeks after I bought here on Amazon. Amazon's policy is returned only if unopened or defective. I didn't want to deal with the hassle and just ordered this. I'll probably give Cusinart a call soon. But its not worth it to me if it will cost me money to ship it, I would rather throw it away. With this Waring unit, the basket rest on the heating elements. The heating elements do not touch the bottom.
Spend the extra few bucks for this unit and you might have to wait because this is always selling out.
