 Very practical October 29, 2008
I originally had some doubts about getting such a large deep fryer because I normally just cook one or two servings at a time. However, there are times when the rest of the family is over for some of my home made french fries, fresh fried flounder, amberjack or whatever was put in the fish box, so I needed a larger deep fryer. The Presto ProFry works very well for all occasions. Because of its large capacity you will not experience a very large heat drop when you start cooking your food. And, the heat up time is not out of line with smaller units.
It is easy to clean, and I did order the single basket from Presto for a reasonable price, but have not used it yet.
You may have to make a little more room for it when it is not in use because it is fairly large as compared to a fryer like the small rounds ones that are so popular.
The lid is rather flimsy, but functional and does not justify a reduction in my rating.
It is simple - no LED displays or other electronics to gum up or fail. There is just a rotary knob and an ON/OFF light - simple and effective.
I have not checked the temperature with a thermometer, but my cooking experience (too many years to mention) tells me the oil is getting to the correct temperatures in a reasonable amount of time.
Great Product - great gift! October 15, 2008
Presto 05466 ProFry Stainless-Steel Dual-Basket Immersion-Element 12-Cup Deep Fryer
This is the best deep fryer I have ever used. Easy to clean, easy to use. I like that the pan can be removed. I purchased a large strainer and add a cheese cloth to strain the oil. It works perfectly. Products are aways crispy. Great for large families or for individual use. I have cooked fries, catfish, hushpuppies, chicken, calamari, shrimp with excellent results. I get about 15 to 17 uses out of the oil because I strain after 4 or 5 uses continually adding new oil to bring up to oil level. Do not let fryer stay on continuously because you will burn the oil. I have had other fryers but they were too hard to clean because the nozzle stopped up and the pan would become caked.
Frys up a whole mess of products. October 10, 2008
I have used this daily for large quantities and am thoroughly satisfied with the way the fryer operates. Everything cooks uniformly, batch after batch, and the cleaning is relatively easy, considering that it is after all - cleaning. Seriously, this double fryer definitely does the job, day after day and keeps on working flawlessly, with no problems of any sort, except that I DO HAVE TO CLEAN THE DARN THING. Now if they would come up with this exact item that would clean itself, I'd be the first in line to invest. This is an item I'd highly recommend. It, and its brother are being used in a commercial operation and holding up extemely well.
Great Frier!!!! September 19, 2008
Frier does what it advertises. I didn't have any problem with the temperature. Fries come crispy and delicious. The only con is that it doesn't come with a big basket, but you can always bought it from the Presto website.
