Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Presto 05466 ProFry Stainless-Steel Dual-Basket Immersion-Element 12-Cup Deep Fryer
Customer Review: Excellent fryer for the home
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this Presto fryer a while back and have loved it. I read all the instructions first and used a candy thermometer to make sure the unit's thermostat was accurate and it was. I had read the review on here about stirring the oil if it doesn't reach the proper temp and that worked like a charm.
I wasn't sure when I would use it again so after the first fry fest (say that three times fast) I drained and filtered the oil using a large mesh strainer with a round coffee filter. Then I poured the cleaned oil back into the original bottles that it was purchased in using a funnel I bought on here for that purpose. Norpro 5 1/2-Inch Stainless Steel Funnel with Detachable Strainer I was shocked to see that the two bottles were as full as they were when I opened them. This leads me to believe that frying at the correct temp is a lot more of a low fat choice then the conventional wisdom had me thinking.
I have fried at least 8 lbs of vegetables like cauliflower, asparagus spears, eggplant cutlets and onion rings and all were superb and much better than the old stove top way of frying. Everything cooked evenly and had that appetizing golden color but the asparagus did lose some of it's batter.
Boneless chicken thighs and haddock fillets came out excellently. It took only about one minute - maybe less - to fry the fish at 375. I don't remember how long the chicken took because I cook by sight and sound more than time. Food is nothing if not sensual.
p.s. One tip I have, actually two, is to heat the baskets in the oil before adding the food so the batter won't stick. And if you have to do a lot of onion rings don't use the baskets at all. Just gently drop them in the oil and fish them out with a Chinese spider or use long tongs.
