  • Make fried foods at home in a snap!
The Presto 05466 Stainless Steel Dual Basket Pro Fry Immersion Element Deep Fryer has completely changed the way I cook fried foods at home! With its simple and efficient design, frying foods has never been easier or more enjoyable. First and foremost, I have to mention the convenience of having dual baskets. This allows me to fry two different foods at once, saving time and making meal preparation a breeze. Whether I'm frying up some crispy chicken tenders or golden onion rings, having the option to cook multiple items simultaneously is a game-changer. I'm also impressed by how well this deep fryer maintains temperature. Even when adding frozen fries or other frozen foods to the vat, it regains temperature fairly quickly, ensuring that my food cooks evenly and comes out perfectly crispy every time. Plus, the stainless steel construction feels durable and looks sleek on my countertop. However, one downside worth mentioning is that it takes a bit longer than expected to heat up. While this isn't a deal-breaker for me, it's something to keep in mind and plan for when preparing meals. Despite this minor inconvenience, the overall performance of the deep fryer more than makes up for it. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase of the Presto 05466 Stainless Steel Dual Basket Pro Fry Immersion Element Deep Fryer. It simplifies the frying process, produces delicious results, and offers excellent value for the price. If you love fried foods and want to enjoy them at home with ease, I highly recommend giving this deep fryer a try. ... show more

  • Still going strong!!!
I bought this back in April 2021 so I think it's time to write my review now in March 2024. I do a lot of frying with this. Not small amounts for a family of 4. I fry for about 30 people each time from my RV. For a countertop fryer, it does what it's supposed to. It has held up well. I've done 30lbs of chicken wings in a night. 20lbs of fish on others. Oil heat recovery time is minimal if you use the lid. Cleaning is easy. I boil the baskets in another pot to get rid of the grease when I'm finished. It hasn't broke even once. I'm thinking of buying another to increase my capacity. There are only two downsides although minimal and don't affect my rating. It is difficult to remove the enameled pot when still full of oil. There should be some kind of extrusion on each side that serves as a handle and over time, the metal under the lid separates but after some careful bending, I got it to stay in place. So IMO it's 4 and a half stars but I'll still give it 5. ... show more

  • Better than expected
Well frying is probably something most of us should really avoid at home. It stinks up the house, requires vast amounts of oil we need to dispose of, is the least healthy way to cook foods, the fryer is bulky, grease spreads around the kitchen, 375 degree oil is dangerous, etc., etc. Still, when you want awesome french fries, onion rings, tempura, fried chicken, fish&chips or want to pretend you are at a carnival and make donuts, fried candy bars, have a seafood/fish fry or to just experiment trying to copy Long John Silver, KFC, or some other fast food or restaurant fried food you need the fryer. Reading the reviews for this fryer started me thinking about how my fried chicken would work in this fryer. How about the twice fried fresh french fries I saw on Food Network? Would tempura work? How would a home beer batter work? This item received very high ratings with just a few people complaining about the fryer not getting hot enough, so I decided to take a chance and order one for myself. My fryer doesn't have the temp not high enough problem. If anything, the fryer gets too hot and I have to set it around 350 vs 375 as suggested in order for the inside to cook without the outside looking like it was fried too long. I've tried my fried chicken and it turned out excellent, but the real star so far was the french fries. I bought a potato/vegetable cutter and did the twice fried french fries and they are really some of the best, if not the best fries I have ever had. Tried frying shrimp and making onion rings and I found out the secret. With fries and chicken you can place them in the basket and lower them into the oil. With a wet batter the basket should be lowered first empty and then you should use tongs or something to drop the shrimp, onion rings, or other wet items directly into the oil, otherwise they will stick to the basket. Had to learn that one the hard way. This fryer works great. If I were rich and had this thing built into the counters next to an indoor grill and six burner range it would work just fine. Cleanup is not bad at all. Wipe down the outside with a grease cutting cleaner. Dump the oil pan outside. Soak any stuck on food on the baskets in water. This isn't a day to day use item. First it would be really unhealthy. Second the cleanup stinks. Third the oil disposal is a pain. No, this is something to have for groups, for a week or so of frying foods every 1-2 days for a week, etc. All that isn't tied to the actual product. This fryer for it's function is excellent and I highly recommend it. ... show more

  • It Fries! What else did you want?
This does take a little over a gallon of oil, which I was prepared for, however, I did expect it to hold a little more in the baskets. My old fryer had a deeper basket and I was a little disappointed in the size, but it did have 2 so that was helpful. I usually cook for a family of 5 in this and I also purchased the one big basket to work with this in certain situations, it did enough but I still had to do a second fry for the remainder of the food. It wasn't a big deal, but it was what I was hoping to get away from. The last fryer I had was a PRESTO and I loved it, that's why I went with this one. This heated up nicely and seemed to maintain temperature pretty well. Cleanup wasn't bad as the main bin is removable and the baskets cleaned up nicely. We hand wiped the elements/burners off after cooled. My main bin also had a small dent in it when it arrived, but I didn't see where it was a huge deal and was very minor so I just used it. My husband seems to think it has a shorter cord (I don't see where it differed from our previous fryer), but I can't figure out where he would be using it if not on the counter by an outlet so that was not an issue for me. Overall the function, and durability seem to be there to last, or at least that's my hope. I gave it 4 stars just because of the most minor things like the depth of baskets, but otherwise, I don't regret my purchase! ... show more

  • Great product!
This is a great product. It does need the bracket removed between the temperature sensors and heating element to get the oil to an accurate temperature. The problem with the little bracket is that it conducts heat directly to the sensor and the unit "thinks" the oil is hotter than what it actually is. With the bracket removed the sensors are held in place by the semi-rigid wire connecting them to the unit. It's sufficient support; the sensors are slim and lightweight. Don't let that discourage you from getting this. It's no big deal! If you are competant enough to use a screwdriver to remove a screw, you will be able to complete this task :) One of my favorite features of this product is that it is all dishwasher safe, with the exception of the heating element. The corner of the metal oil basin is rounded over sufficiently, so pouring the cooled oil through a strainer into a funnel is simple. I Iike that this product doesn't have it's own filtering and storage recepticle. I feel that this unit is more sanitary for that omission, fewer areas for food debris to get caught. Not to mention less areas of possible breakage/problems. It heats up quick enough for my needs, and keeps the oil at an even temperature for cooking food at a steady pace. If you are expecting to cook whole chickens with this unit, seek professional help and a different type of fryer... I did a lot of research before buying a fryer. So far as to look at a few of the more "commercial" types until ultimatly taking a chance on this one. I have owned this fryer for over a year and use it several times a month, cooking with only peanut oil. It works great! Shrimp, doughnuts, hush puppies, fish, French fries, onion rings, fresh tortilla chips, pickles, Guinness beer battered anything, chicken, whatever you can imagine! I think I will pick up the single large fry basket just for the tortilla chips. For the price and performance I am thoroughly pleased! Update: 02/10/13 It still works great! Update: 02/11/21 it is still working perfectly ... show more

  • Best fryer with great capacity!! Great review!
I’ve been searching for a good deep fryer for years. I love fried foods, especially chicken wings. I can’t get great wings where I live so I started the adventure of making my own. There are TONS of deep fryers to choose from, but this caught my attention because of its size. I’ve fried foods using the stovetop before so I knew I needed something that can fit more than 3 chicken wings at a time. Also, I needed a fryer that was durable. I am clumsy and break stuff all the time so I needed it to be tough, durable, and easy to use. Setup was a breeze. Not too many sharp edges or anything I can hurt myself on. The cord is super short, maybe a foot long. It’s magnetic so I needed to make sure I had a power supply close. I mounted a surge protector on the back of a table in my garage. This allowed me to not cook in the house so it doesn’t stink it up, but I can easily plug and unplug the unit with no issues and it’s not in danger of getting pulled out. The thermostat actually lies in the oil so you get a good idea of the oil temperature. It’s extremely easy to put on an take off. There is even a safety function so if it’s not on correctly it shouldn’t power the unit on. MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR OWN DIGITAL THERMOMETER TO ENSURE EXACT OIL TEMPERATURE!!! One the fryer is set up, just dump your oil in and it’s ready. Heat up time is about 20 minutes. I would fill it more than 4 quarts if you are planning a lot of frying or doing real big fried chicken. Great thing about this is you can take the baskets out and just use the fryer alone and it frees up some room. Plus batter doesn’t stick to the basket. You need some fryer tongs or a strainer if some sort but the option is there. I’m looking forward to making donuts this way. I used this fryer 6 times before I had to change the oil (I use peanut oil. It has a low smoke point and tastes identical to restaurants. I’ve been able to find it by the gallon for as low as $12 on sale, Wallymart usually sells 3 gallons for about $35 which is a great deal.) Cleanup was much ‘easier’ than I expected. I saved the old oil bottle so I had a place to put the used oil (just use a funnel). I had no idea if any of it was reusable so the whole 4 quarts were dumped and sent to recycling. I’m not sure how us regular folks strain oil to reuse it. Restaurants have big machines they use to filter it again and again. Once oil was out just wiped it all down, rinsed the baskets (the handles even fold in for easy storage) and filled it back up with fresh oil to the fill line on the oil container. And done. I’ve had the product for about a month and a half and have used it well over 10 times. It doesn’t get too hot anywhere on the unit that I have noticed. The cover is great because it helps with splashing and spitting of the oil. When the unit is full and turned on, ALWAYS BE CAUTIOUS OF THE BASKETS IN THE FRYER!!!! It’s easy to get a sweatshirt or something to pull the basket while frying and then you will have a giant bad accident to deal with. BE SAFE AND SMART! READ THE DIRECTIONS! If you do this you shouldn’t have a problem. I am successfully making chicken wings, fried shrimp, mozzarella sticks, fries and more with ease. I’ve started making most of it from scratch and the food is definitely restaurant quality. some of it is very tough and it’s a trial and error process but the reward is delicious!!! ... show more

  • Take you cooking to the next level!
Many people have a little Fry Baby (probably got it as a wedding or house warming gift), and might have even tried making more than just finger food with it and weren't impressed (like me). Well, this fryer will completely rejuvenate your cooking experience and get you all the WOWS at the table that you want. With the included dual baskets, you can fry 2 different food items at the same time without them mixing with each other. No, there isn't a separate temperature for each basket - it is all in the same vat, so just one temperature, but lets face it, you are going to set it on high (or just below) and probably never change it. The absolute best part of having a fryer like this is that it is always ready to go. Just plug it in and 20 minutes later your are ready to fry. When done, just move the fryer out of the way. No more pouring oil out of your frying pan (down the drain or into another container) each time you want to fry something. I use peanut oil as it's not quite as bad for you, and it smokes less, and the after-odor doesn't smell fishy like vegetable oil does (to me). I've had mine for 2 years now, and it has completely transformed my menu variety. Foods that will love you for cooking them the right way: French Fries - almost the same as your favorite fast food place Leftover Fries - no more dry/burned/soggy fries from toasting or microwaving. Leftover Chinese - to reheat their deep fried chicken/pork/shrimp. Onion Rings Battered (or breaded) mushrooms or cauliflower (and other veggies I haven't tried yet). Cheese Sticks Corn Dogs Battered/breaded Fish Southern Fried Chicken or Pork - OMG! So tender, hot, juicy! You won't believe how great these are. Chicken Nuggets Pizza Rolls or Puffs- you haven't lived until you've had them deep fried. Deep Fried Calzone - also called Frittelle in southern Italy. Think pizza fritter - OMG!!! Any kind of tempura. Funnel cakes Okay - so cleanup isn't great. Every couple of months I'll drain the very used oil into an empty container to put in the trash, then clean up the vat and surrounding surfaces as best as I can. The first few times I was meticulous about it. Now, not so much. I have my fryer housed inside of an unused side oven (that I slide out when I use it and slide back in when done), so I (and others) don't see it when not in use, so I don't care that it looks, well.... yucky. But who cares! The food that it produces is fabulous! ... show more
