Presto 05462 Digital ProFry Immersion-Element 9-Cup Deep Fryer

Comment: Everything works as promised on this model. Everything works to satisfaction and easy clean up. Takes about 15 min to heat up oil, But that is usually the time as other models. I would suggest this to anyone who wanted a reliable deep frier. Im Happy with it.

Comment: We used the deep fryer to make homemade flautas and corn chips. They were delicious. Crispy without being greasy tasting. The best thing was the ease of clean up with the fryer itself. All of it comes apart in pieces that are very manageable to clean.

Comment: Got this a few days ago from the mall. I like it. The instructions are clear and easy. It has a Min/Max level imprinted in it to tell you where the oil should be. But what I learnt with fryers is that they take a lot of oil. I brought the biggest Wesson oil bottle, and it still wasn't enough. This uses about 1 1/2 bottles of the biggest size, Wesson oil, comes in. The booklet tells you what foods (chicken, fish, fries, even cheese, for some reason) should cook at and how long. Even though it's digital, it's not confusing at all because it's really just 3 buttons you work with. Anyone can figure how to work this fryer. When the red light is on it means it's heating up. When it beeps and the green light comes on you can put the food in. There's an easy timer. The basket is neat too. It can hang on the fryer, as in the picture, so the food can cool down. I would highly recommend this fryer if you want to have some fried food sometimes.

Comment: Have only used it once (chicken) but everything worked great right out of the box! Seems to be just the right size for 2-3 people. Cleanup was easy. The temp was right on with a candy/frying thermometer. The extra features ie, basket, timer, digital readout, etc. were worth the money.

Comment: I have not used the deep fryer but a few times and so far I really like it. Instructions say to cook high moisture food with the cover off, I use it outside on the patio so I like the cover off anyway and have no problem with oil splatter...I bought a screen to cover it with but have not needed it. I do put the cover on to build the heat back up after adding food and it recovers pretty quick that way. It is easy to use and easy enough to clean, the heat recovers quickly, it's digital readout (recommended)....the food is great. Cons: The digital readout is only the temp setting not the actual oil temp...there is a red and green light...red means "wait" green means "cook" that works fine for me. If the fryer keeps working like it does today I would give it an A+.
