12-Cup Deep Fryer

The Presto ProFry 12-Cup Deep Fryer offers 1,800 watts of power to help you quickly achieve the ideal oil temperature for a variety of foods.

A signal light alerts you when the oil has reached your set temperature and the cover and filter add safety by helping to prevent spattering.

I had originally been using a fry daddy from wal-mart. The warm up time is about the same but the difference is I can cook so much more food and it cooks faster and more evenly. Also because of the speed it cooks food at my food ends up much crispier and less soggy than with my previous model. I have used it almost every day for a month now and no complaints. Okra cooks at 350 for about 5 mins. French fries take about one minute longer. I have also made cheese sticks and popcorn chicken. All of it comes out perfect.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I like the 12 cup Presto Deep Fryer. It cooks pretty good and precise. I have fried everything I possibly can in it so I could get a feel for how it really is. On the upside it fries well but on the downside the double baskets are not big enough to hold anymore than 4 pieces of chicken at a time and this thing uses a bunch of oil so if you are health consciencous like me and use Peanut oil your looking at 30 bucks and if you use regular oil around 15. I would definately buy it again but I really think you should get the big basket that you have to buy for 12 bucks extra free because this thing is like 100 dollars.
Yes, I recommend this product.

this product helps the cook in all kind of ways.
1. keeps oil ready to cook covered , and off of the stove top .
2.cooks even, without making a greasy food or taste.
3. when cooking like fish fry you can cook two things at one time.
4. or you can take the bastets out and cook large items
5. makes your kitchen safer from a greese fire also , because its'contained.
i love it. and am going to buy one for my kids for their safety. the single size one else where is $59.00 or more. so this is a great buy ,
(one con is ) this is a fairly big cooker ,so if your short on room in your kitchen you need to find a storage place for it before buying.in-order to be happy with your purchase
i hate to buy something i have to sit in the way
just so you know.great cooking!!!!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Cooks large amounts and the double baskets are great. If the pieces are bigger than usual you can go without the baskets! Easy to clean with the lift out tub and Iove the basket rests. Great buy!

My wife spotted this fryer on the Paula Deen Show. She had never seen a two basket system. This fryer is well constructed and very easy to clean. I do believe the heating element is under rated, it gets hot very quickly. A very good product so far
Yes, I recommend this product.

I really enjoy the dual chambers for cooking, it gives the opportunity to cook more than one thing at a time.
The unit is easy to take apart and clean.
I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for a gift for a friend, or a gift for themselves.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This deep fryer is verastlie and is a great investment. It is large enough to fry several pieces of catfish. I really like using both baskets at the same time to eliminate my childrens' wait time for fries and chicken. I really liked that I could wash in insert.
Yes, I recommend this product.
