Presto 5 Qt Dual Basket Pro Fry Immersion Element Black Deep Fryer 05489

This Presto dual basket fryer has been a great addition to my kitchen. The overall ease of use is one of the first things I noticed. Setup took just a minute with a quick rinse and snapping the heating element into place. The controls are simple and straightforward so there is no learning curve at all. The build quality feels solid and dependable. The immersion heating element gets the oil hot fast and keeps the temperature steady which makes a big difference when you are frying larger batches. Both baskets slide smoothly and the handles stay cool enough to grab without hesitation. Size wise, the five quart capacity is perfect for cooking for the whole family. I can do fries in one basket and chicken tenders in the other or just use the big basket when I want everything done at once. It does not take up too much counter space either which is a bonus. Oil splatter has not been bad at all. As long as the food goes in slowly, the sides of the fryer keep things contained so I am not wiping down the whole counter afterward. Cleanup is easier than I expected. The pot lifts out, the baskets rinse clean, and the exterior wipes down without streaks. For a fryer that is a win. For the price the value is excellent. It heats fast, cooks evenly, and handles big meals without struggling. If you fry often or just want something reliable for family dinners this one delivers.

Easy to clean and heats up pretty quickly. The two separate baskets make cooking for a group easy. This fryer is a must have for parties and get together. The fryer lid covers the oil and keeps it clean in between uses. Gets hot enough to fry anything from egg rolls to cheese sticks to jalepeno poppers. Bagged and frozen French fries taste amazing when cooked in this fryer.
