This is super easy to set up and then take down and clean. It’s not huge so it doesn’t take up a ton of kitchen storage space, but it is a perfect size for frying chicken wings, onion rings, french fries. It heats up really fast also. Love this and highly recommend!

For years I did not want to take up my already packed kitchen cabinets with a fryer. I eat healthy and I would just use a pot and oil. I didn’t feel the need–until I watched a friend fry up some appetizers far more easily and perfectly and wondered why I didn’t have a fryer.
Let’s face it, the key to perfectly fried foods is the temp of the oil. You can’t guesstimate that and you don’t have to with this. When it’s the right temp for frying (which you can adjust but it has a chart with it–pretty much turn the knob up all the way and everything fries perfectly if you want the easy way–it’s a no brainer) the light goes off. If you fry a batch of something and it cools the oil down, the light is back on so you know when it heats back up to being perfectly ready. If you have to add more oil, you will also know when it gets to frying temp. No more guesswork.
The basket just makes everything so much easier too–no scooping anything out of hot oil…just lift and dump out on the paper towel.
Diet is all about balance and when I entertain I find myself using this every time. I can have something cooking in the oven and fry up instant hot appetizers or you can make a protein and fry up some fries, you can get fancy like the Texas wontons I made placed over guacamole and garnished with red pepper jelly (but still super fast to make–just stuff cut eggroll wrappers with cream cheese, Mexican cheese and green chiles), or shrimp and okra beignets…or funnel cakes and donuts for the kids. It’s a treat maker and a go to gadget for party food and entertaining, let’s face it.
Plus it will pay for itself when you do things like make your own fish sticks, french fries, donuts, etc. You also eliminate the chemicals and preservatives and everything tastes better.
Chili cheese fries? Get yourself a spiral slicer and you can make spiral cut potatoes literally in seconds.
fried mozzarella? You will never eat store bought again.
Get a fryer cookbook–the Southern Living one is excellent, and you will be as addicted to this as I am. Plus when you invite people over for dinner they love to watch you use it. And want one.
This one is the perfect size and heats fast and fries evenly. If it broke, I’d buy the exact same one again.
I make my own taco and tostado shells from leftover tortillas but my favorite thing is to make soups and slice tortilla ribbons and fry them up–great on soups and salads and better than croutons! Looks prettier too!

Our old deep fryer stopped heating for us, so we replaced it with the National Presto 05461 Stainless Steel Pro Fry Immersion Element Deep Fryer Silver in color. My husband loves that it has a lid that keeps the splatters inside and not on the counter. It makes great French fries, chicken wings, thighs and breasts and hush puppies. It holds as much as our old one and takes about half as much oil. All these ways to save and the food tastes better and the chicken gets crisper so eating the chicken skin is tastier and meets the need I have for it at the request of my doctor. Great fryer at a reasonable price too.
Undate: My husband loves to cook and does most of our cooking. He was changing the olive oil he uses in the deep fyrer and after ownin four or five of them in our almost fifty years of marriage, he said, “This is the easiest deep fryer we have ever used to clean,” as he finished cleaning it in less than thirty minutes. The time includes draining the oil, taking it out to the garbage and washing up the frier and letting it dry in the dish drainer.

I would not recommend buying this deep fryer if you are in Europe, as the plug is not compatible even with the use of an extension. Additionally, the manual suggests a frying time of 13 to 18 minutes for chicken, but I found that I needed to fry the chicken for more than 20 minutes and it was still raw.

May not be worth a 5 star review, but it does what i bought it for. As long as the heating element works, is good for me. Am using it outdoors. Not suggesting to use it indoor!! The filter is useless, but then again, aren’t them all? The thermostat is also useless. Instructions are for french fries 375F 10-12 min. Good luck with that!! Oil was way over 425F and after 4 min. fries where almost burned! But that is minor, as far as i am concerned. Try and learn. Set at 320F, light goes out, potatoes go in, 4 min. later have fries the way I want them. WAY better than at any fast food chain.

You don’t realize how much better, faster, easier and less greasy fried food is over pan frying until you try it. Because it cooks food so much faster the food absorbs a lot less grease, seems counterintuitive but I swear to you. We put Yuca fries on the paper towel and theres hardly any oil at oil on the towel vs A LOT when we pan fry them. Plus they are so much crispier, cook a lot faster, you can cook a LOT more than you can with a pan, its just way better. The only down side is the amount of oil it takes, two medium sized bottles worth of oil, so you have to have a lot cook or its not worth it, but you can save and recycle the oil.

Love this! Great size! Not too small and not too large! Doesn’t take up a ton of room. I put it away in a cabinet when I’m not using it.
Fries chicken so evenly crispy and FAST! I love how the temperature stays steady unlike frying on the stovetop.
Easy to clean too! Great value for the price!
The only minor bad things is that it uses a more oil than stovetop frying and also that the vent warps a little when the hot steam comes out when you’re frying but these were not dealbreakers for me, considering how well this fryer works.

I used to have problems whenever I try to deep fry something. It usually requires my focus or the food will burn. And the oil gets hot and starts smoking. The Presto Profry immersion deep fryer takes the guesswork out of the equation. There’s a temperature control dial, so you set it exactly as the recipe calls for. The basket is roomy and strong. It’s easy to use and it’s not messy like the regular pan fry. It’s an absolute joy to use! I love that I don’t have to pay attention, because I know the oil won’t burn up in smoke like regular pan fry. Worth every penny.
