Cuisinart CDF-130 Deep Fryer, 2 Quart, Stainless Steel

Estéticamente me gusta, es pequeña para mi cocina asi que cuadra bien. Calienta super rapido

Muy buena la recomiendo

I had a Waring Pro version of this that has served me well for almost 20 years. Then one day it gave out. Searching on Amazon, this came up as an exact replacement. It seems Cuisinart took over Waring Pro as this is very similar to the original except for one major thing; how the basket hangs on the edge of the oil pan. In the original there was a small tab inside the oil pan, and the basket had a little metal wire. On this one the basket has an "L" shaped tab, and the basket sits on the edge of the pan. Why is this important, you ask? Because with the original you could have the basket hanging and put the lid on the unit. With the new one, you cannot put the lid on, as it will not sit flush. Why change perfection? Otherwise the deep fryer is great, and I hope to get another 20 years of usage out of it.

Just replaced our last fryer of 8 years. Same name brand so why change?

It works great! The fried food is delicious. It is easy to clean.

I found very few reviews for this Cuisinart CDF-200 and bought it mostly on Cuisinart reputation, hopefully my review will prevent others from wasting time/effort/money on this deep fryer.It has what I (I'm a mechanical engineer with a background in data aquisition and controls) consider to be a fundamental design flaw. There are two temperature sensors mounted on the heating element. One that provides closed loop feedback control to regulate temperature and one that provides a hard cutoff if the high-limit temperature is exceeded. The high limit thermostat actually touches the heating element rather than being surrounded by oil which causes it to be hotter than the actual oil. I suspect this was intended to provide a safety shutoff in case the fryer was turned on with no oil, but it causes more problems than it fixes.My unit would heat to about 340F (should go to 375F) and would stop working with no easily visible indicator (power light still on, etc.) and would not reach the set temperature. I finally realized that the small recessed reset button had popped out, and pushing back in would allow the unit to start heating again but not beyond 340F.Overall, the build quality is trash, with lots of sharp edges and very thin sheetmetal, but I've come to accept that all consumer products are built this way and could have looked past it to give it 3-4 stars if the unit actually worked.Even if my unit was faulty (I certainly hope not all of their fryers are bad from the factory) I can point out multiple BAD design decisions. As an engineer, I'm begging consumers not to tolerate this garbage.

If you are looking for a deep fryer and have limited space and performs like restaurant cookware- this is for you! It’s small but does an excellent job. It’s very easy to cleans and does French’s fries golden brown in 3 minutes. Totally impressed and it has a very fair price. They have could have done a better job on the electrical connector tho- David

Have only used this fryer a few times but find it to be a purchase worth it's value. I bought the 2 quart size, overall footprint is about the size of a toaster but It holds more than I thought! The onion rings in the photo were all cooked in one batch and are sitting on a 10-1/4 inch paper plate. Verified the temperature settings with a separate oil thermometer -- oil temp was the temperature set on the controller. And the controller has a "stand by" setting you can use to keep the oil hot but not actively heating if you need time to prep another batch of food to fry. The removeable oil pan has a pour spout for easy draining. Cleaning was pretty easy -- I started with Ajax dish soap and hot water, but components still felt a little greasy so I sprayed with Dawn Powerwash and that did the job. Used a water-dampened microfiber cloth on black controller box as recommended in owner's manual and it did remove the oil splatters. As others have mentioned, cleaning the heating elements themselves is a little tricky as you have to be careful not to bend/damage anything and you can't immerse because of the controller unit, but, again, some Dawn Powerwash spray and a dishcloth did the job. Be careful cleaning the outside unit housing -- the bottom inside edges are sharp. Overall, I feel this fryer is worth the purchase price and do recommend it.
