Is Exactly What It Claims To Be

CDF-100 Compact Deep Fryer
(CUICDF100)
Pros: Perfect size for someone who lives alone but still likes to deep fry
Top is dishwasher safe
Doesn't take up much counter space
Cons: Somewhat awkward to clean fryer compartment
Other Comments: Capacity: This fryer is the perfect size for someone cooking for one. It will hold a couple of chicken thighs. Haven't tried chicken breasts, but I expect it would handle a single large breast or two small ones at a time. Can vouch for one large battered fish fillet. Would estimate you can do a reasonable serving of French fries at once.
Responses to several negative comments I noticed in reviews before I purchased the product: (1)Those who complain about a lack of capacity are asking it to do something it wasn't designed to do. If you're cooking for a family, this isn't, and isn't intended to be, the fryer for you. (2)Some complained that oil either didn't come up to or didn't maintain temperature. I've not found this to be true. The oil reaches temperature in about 10-12 minutes, which seems reasonable to me. (I haven't actually taken a temperature reading, but my food cooks perfectly in the amount of time I expect it to cook in.) (3)As to complaints about the magnetic cord connection not being strong enough, that's not been a problem. The first time I plugged it in, it did indeed not want to stay connected. Then I experimented by turning the plug over. Problem solved! I had been trying to plug it in with the plug upside down. Smooth sailing after that. (4)The one complaint I read in the reviews that I think has some merit is that cleaning the fryer compartment is a bit awkward. You can't remove it to put it in the dishwasher, and the unit isn't submersible, so you have to clean it by emptying the oil, wiping down the interior with paper towels, and then wiping it down again with a damp sponge and drying it.
Bottom line: If you're cooking for one, this is a great little deep fryer. Its small capacity is ideal for the amount of food you want to cook for a meal, and because of its size, you don't end up using tons of oil for a single serving.
Yes, I recommend this product

Cuisinart Deep Fyer

Review submitted for
Cuisinart
CDF-100 Compact Deep Fryer
(CUICDF100)
Pros: Delicious Results, Temperature Control
Cons: Limited Capacity, Difficult to Clean
Other Comments: I used this product for frying chicken, but
a little scare of cleaning it because of the
outlet in the back of fryer might get water
in it. It appears to be so small to get the
job done. It takes less time to fry and the
food comes out so tender and moist and well
done. The product is quite small but it
get the job done.

CDF-100 Compact Deep Fryer
(CUICDF100)
Pros: Delicious Results, Easy To Clean, Compact Storage
Cons: No Cons No Complaints
Other Comments: I have large deep dryers. Not worth it to fire them up for small meals and waste all that oil for food for 2 people. This is perfect. You also don't lose cooking area to the heating element. Very easy to clean.

CDF-100 Compact Deep Fryer
(CUICDF100)
Pros: Compact Storage, Temperature Control, Delicious Results
Cons: Limited Capacity
Other Comments: This little guy is great! It is so small that I can leave it on my counter, but it will fry up a relatively large batch of snacks pretty quickly. I use mine for fried pickles, and we were able to make a whole jar in 3 batches very quickly. Plus, because it is so small, it does not need as much oil! I just got it, so no complaints yet!

CDF-100 Compact Deep Fryer
(CUICDF100)
Pros: Quick heating, Easy To Clean, Compact Storage, Delicious Results, Temperature Control
Cons:
Other Comments: This heats quickly, flash fries using little oil, produces great results. I hated deep fryers I had previously used…messy, smelly, hard to clean. This little jewel has none of these problems. It uses very little oil, doesn't smell up the kitchen, and most important, produces great results.
