Amazon.com Review
Deep-fried foods are usually something we eat at restaurants, partly because it seems like making them at home would be messy and complicated. But this restaurant-quality deep fryer means that making fried treats like French fries, onion rings, shrimp tempura, and doughnuts can easily be done in any home kitchen. The brushed steel housing with black accents has the look of a professional kitchen tool. There is a simple temperature knob, and a green ready light tells when the proper oil temperature has been reached. A view window in the lid helps with keeping an eye on what's frying inside.
Safety features include non-skid feet, sturdy lid and side handles, an exterior housing that stays cool, and a magnetic cord that will detach if the machine is jostled, effectively shutting it down. It also has a filter in the lid that traps odor-causing smoke during cooking. The basket handle folds into the basket for more compact storage, and there's a basket rest for holding food up out of the oil while it's draining. A ticking kitchen timer rings to say that the food is done.
The stainless steel oil reservoir detaches for easy cleaning and is dishwasher safe. The deep fryer measures 16 by 9 by 10 inches (unit is 21 inches long when 5-inch handle is extended). Rival includes a one-year warranty against defects and comes with a detailed booklet of instructions, recipes, and tips. --Garland Withers

This review is from: Rival CZF600 Cool Zone Digital Deep Fryer, Stainless Steel (Kitchen)
Over the last 25 tears a lot of companys have made some amusing deep fryers. I've tried many of them. Not enough cooking room, poor grease temp. control, total pain to clean(and keep clean)my old ones are made of plastic and you just can't get rid of the grease on the outside or around the rim . Well you know what I mean. We purchased this unit recently from Target and gave it a real good shake down. I'm an experienced fry man from food services in school to resturant work, and know how to handle a deep fryer, be it pressure fryers for huge batches of chicken, to a counter top presto fry baby,and everything in between. I've never been happier with a counter top than I am with this unit. It is big enough to suit a small family, breaks down easily for cleaning (stainless steel cleans easy with just plain window clearer, in a dishwasher, or a sink with just plain soap and water) and grease storage, is a lot easier than with other units the oil pan lift out easily, just pour through a funnel(lined with cheese cloth to clean out scraps) mine is in the cupboard temp. control is a dream. My 2 old fryers are in the trash.If you're serious about good fried food, this is the one to buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars
flawed but workable.,
By Conrad (CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rival CZF600 Cool Zone Digital Deep Fryer, Stainless Steel (Kitchen)
1. People with issues with the unit not working may want to check the white plastic switch on the heating element control unit. For some reason the designers of the fryer didn't create it so that the control unit would sit flush against the body. This simple design flaw renders the fryer useless since the white switch will never depress fully and remain on as intended. Solution: A couple zip ties or something similar to tightly wrap around the unit to make sure the switch is fully depressed. Sure, it's unsightly, but the thing frys like a champ when it's working properly. I've had the thing goin for 2 hours before without any signs of wear or "overheating" like some other users posted.
2. People complaining about needing more precise temp controls don't really know too much about frying. There really isn't any reason you HAVE to fry your crab cakes at EXACTLY 352.41932 degrees. 340 will do. I actually prefer 375(due to the temp drop when the cold food hits the hot oil.) just fry to desired color. most of the time it'll be done, but if it isnt, finish it in the oven to the desired doneness. Simple. You'd probably never use 265 or 300 unless you're making homemade french fries and doing your initial blanch. frying anything else at that low of a temp, and you're asking for limp, soggy, greasy food. And 400 degrees? That's way too hot for most foods. At that temp, you're really breaking down the oil and you'll have to toss it sooner than if you would have fried at 375. Burnt oil makes food taste bitter and disgusting anyway. I can't really think of much that requires that high of a temp other than rice stick noodles or something, but most foods from french fries to fish sticks, chicken wings, taquitos, fresh tortilla chips, egg rolls, etc. are all perfect when fried at 375 degrees. 3. Go ahead and store your oil in it. I've had the thing for almost 2 years with oil in it the whole time except for a few moments in between cleaning and refilling with fresh oil. Maybe the manual doesn't recommend it, I'm not really sure, I threw it away the day I got it. But who cares, those writers are just trying to cover their butts. Unless you plan on going a really long time between fryings, there's no use to transferring it into a separate container. It's oil, not sulfuric acid. Just cover the oil reservoir with plastic wrap if you're concerned about stuff getting in your oil. I personally don't even go that far. Heck, I leave the thing outside for weeks at a time and it STILL frys like a champ. being a professional chef, this fryer meets all my needs and gets 4 stars due to the design flaw only. otherwise this would have gotten a 5. chef tip #54: Thanks to the fast food industry, most people actually prefer their food fried in slightly rancid oil. Yum. Keep frying in that old oil, folks.

5.0 out of 5 stars
I love this fryer!,
By Kathee Baylis (Renton, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rival CZF600 Cool Zone Digital Deep Fryer, Stainless Steel (Kitchen)
This is a great fryer! I use it at least 4 or 5 times a week.. sometimes more. Someone said that the level of oil was really low.. well, it is. But when you place food into the basket and then into the oil, the oil rises.Yes, you do get an oil smell in your house after using it, but you get that with every fryer. We love the stainless steel look of this fryer and everything about it! We have had this for about a year and it still looks new even though we use it so much!!! If you are looking for a fryer, this is definately the one to get!
