My New Year’s resolution is to learn how to make donuts. I got this deep fryer and glad I choose this one. There are few fancier ones with presets and whatnaught, but the temperature set is really all you need and this thing holds temperature well. It’s big enough to fry 6 3-4 inch donuts at once. I probably could have gone with a smaller size since donuts fry up quickly so batching wouldn’t be too time consuming, but if I ever make something that requires longer cooking (like chicken wings) , the larger capacity is good. One thing other reviewers have mentioned is the power cord is connected to the fryer with a magnet and can come off if the fryer is jostled. Once it was set up it wasn’t really a problem though (I mean you probably don’t want to move/ jostle a fryer filled with a gallon of hot oil anyway.)
A note about fry oil. We strain our fry oil with a funnel and cheese cloth so we can get a lot of use out of it. This fryers insert was light enough for me (someone not very coordinated or strong) to hold up and pour into a funnel lined with cheese cloth. My husband held the bottle and the funnel while I poured. Though light the insert still feels very sturdy. As someone who struggles lifting cast iron fry pans, large casserole dishes, and lasagna pans, the lightness made me happy. I was really worried saving the oil would be a pain especially for such a big fryer, but the lightness of the tray helped a lot.

CDF-200 Won't Heat Past 340F
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.
