Presto 05466 ProFry Stainless-Steel Dual-Basket Immersion-Element 12-Cup Deep Fryer January 8, 2008

One word: Amazing.
The glowing reviews were my reason for buying this model, and now that I’ve had the chance to use it for a while, I feel I should contribute mine.

It may not have an LCD display, a thermometer, or a timer, but this thing can fry. Everything I’ve made in it has turned out great. French fries, jalapeno poppers, popcorn chicken, and chicken wings all come out perfect.

A recent review has stated that the temp knob is wrong and the oil isn’t hot enough, and while I’m sure it isn’t perfect, the exact opposite happens for me. The oil, when set on 375, is usually higher than that, so if I want to cook something on 375 (fries, for instance), I will set the knob a little under 375, and they come out great.

A couple tips: For crispier foods, fry with the lid off. Frying french fries twice (frying them for around 3-4 minutes, just enough to become soft, and then letting them sit for 15+ minutes, then frying again until done) works really good. When you take foods out of the oil, they’re still cooking, keep this in mind so you don’t burn things.

Presto FryDaddy Deep Fryer

You don’t need a 6- gallon oil vat to enjoy deep- fried foods at home–this petite deep fryer makes four big servings with just 4 cups of oil. A compact 7 inches in diameter, the fryer features easy controls for precision frying: it automatically maintains the proper frying temperature, letting you focus on cooking instead of fussing with the controls. The fryer features a snap-on lid, so you can store oil right in the fryer for reuse. All surfaces are nonstick for tidy cleanup (the fryer is not dishwasher-safe and should never be completely immersed in water). A hand scoop is included with the fryer for easy stirring, lifting, and draining, and the 120-volt AC cord unplugs from the outlet, while the attached handle makes the fryer easy to move around the kitchen. The fryer has a two-year limited warranty. –Ariel Meadow Stallings
