This Cuisinart small appliance is perfect for any single person! It's just the right size for me and anyone who loves fried chicken, French fries, or fish. Makes delicious fish and butterfly shrimp to use in poor boy sandwiches or as an entrée. Food cooks to the perfect temperature, always between 165F and 180F in record time and it remains golden brown and juicy and crispy on the outside. Use your favorite breading recipe and just put it in this fryer to expect perfection every time! I also bought a small Tfal timer to use with it, since it doesn't have one built in.
