Product review (5 stars): Rival CZF530 3-Liter Cool touch deep fryer
My husband got this for me about two years ago. It has lasted quite a while considering how much we use it. It's element comes out using only one hand to lift it out of the oil. The pan is removable, and washable, which is a nice feature. It holds about six pieces of chicken at a time, not a whole chicken, unless you use a banty chicken. Even if you pour oil past the recommended oil line, it won't hold a whole chicken, I tried. If you stuff too much chicken in at a time, it won't cook evenly. The recovery time on heating oil after you take out a batch of cooked food is quick. We have been very happy with this fryer, and we've cooked everything fry-able if there's such a word. We haven't been disappointed yet!
