In the homespun days, food was usually fried in a big cast-iron metal pot. But modern times demand simpler solutions. The Presto GranPappy electric deep fryer fits on a countertop and is so easy to use. Just add oil, plug it in, and in 15 minutes it's heated up and ready to fry. Its sleek, black bucket shape matches form to function-- simple and classic.
The GranPappy holds up to six cups of oil or three pounds of shortening, and it can accommodate up to six servings of food at a time. The internal thermostat keeps the oil at the optimum frying temperature. An accompanying scoop, slotted for draining, is for lifting food in and out or for turning food halfway through the cooking time. The power cord has a magnetic safety connection, so that if the unit is jostled during cooking, the cord will disconnect, shutting power off immediately. After straining the used oil, it can be poured back into the unit and stored, covered by the accompanying snap-on plastic lid.
After frying, unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely before attempting to empty oil. Wash the GranPappy with warm, sudsy water and dry it thoroughly; it is not immersible. To preserve the nonstick finish, inside and out, do not use steel wool or harsh, abrasive cleansers. The Presto GranPappy measures 8 by 8-1/2 inches. Presto guarantees this product with a one-year limited warranty. A simple instruction and recipe sheet is enclosed. --Garland Withers

Summary: Thank you for being a GRAND GranPappy 2010-03-13
Comment: Soo Amazon.com came through AGAIN. This is Soo Soo ever soo over the top Brilliant. "It's NOT too big, Not too small, but makes fried foods, Thee best of All!! " It does what it says, and I'm ever soo happy how quicky it heats up. Perfect heat.! The wee recipe book they added was a brilliant idea, and PLEASE, I know you don't think it will be done in soo short of a frying time, but it 'tiss. Amazon is the only way to go. Cheaper, than other places, including K mart,and WOW!! Bloody "ell! It arrived 2 days later, as specified, AND With FREE Shipping !! Well worth the price, cleaning is easy, and I used Lard for frying the food. Then Crisco ( the solid type). The Frenched fries were SPECTACULAR!! Burritos went into the Fryer, and became Chimichangas. Fries were restaurant quality, and people!! I'm from England. Me Fish N' Chips were BRILLIANT! Brilliant I tell you. Thank you GranPappy, and thank you to Amazon.com Cheers and GOD BLESS. Nata$ha V

Comment: Have had a great time using this. Only problem is that there is only one temperature, so if you are cooking fried chicken the outside gets burnt before the inside is cooked.

Comment: Really like it! I sort of miss the basket that I had with my previous fryer, but the GranPappy does seem to cook very evenly and quite a bit at a time.
