Presto Pro Fry Dual Basket Deep Fryer

Overview

Frying two foods at once in separate oblong baskets is the idea behind this stainless steel fryer. An immersion heating element preheats the oil, and a cover with a charcoal air filter reduces spatter and odor.

Quick heat recovery and two baskets suit family-size frying, and the removable element and pot make cleanup practical. The limits are the oil volume required and the footprint.

Who it's for

Households that fry for a group and want two foods cooked separately suit this fryer. Single-serving cooks will use more oil than they need, since the listing sets a minimum fill.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The immersion element heats the oil directly, which speeds preheating and lets the oil recover its temperature quickly after food goes in. The thermostat sets the frying temperature and the signal light shows when the oil is ready. The cover and charcoal filter hold back spatter and odor.
