Simply does what a deep fryer does - Happy, Oct 20, 2009
Received the fryer and after reading, before buying, I used a separate thermometer to assure the proper temperature was reached. I could not ask for more. Easy clean up and perfect frying....no problems encountered at this time!!! Recommend buying a funnel/strainer. Would be nice if it had a CD player!!!

Great Fryer for the Price - JL Sick, Oct 16, 2009
I have had several fryers of different brands and this one is definitely the better of the lot. It does take approx 20 minutes to heat the oil but once that's done it maintains and recovers temp quickly. We have been missing wings for football season (can't find a place near that has good wings) and were very happy be able to make them the way we like - this fryer's size lets us continuously put HOT wings in front of our guests (& ourselves LOL). Also worked great for our first attempt at home-made onion rings. Large capacity and quick recovery were what we wanted and this unit EXCEEDED our expectations. Several people that have been over are "grease shy" yet commented the food was not greasy (which I find is a problem when temp drop happens - so recovery time is an issue this thing handled well).
Would I recommend it ? For the PRICE and CAPACITY coupled with temp recovery - YES.

Presto Deep Fryer - S. Timmerman, Oct 14, 2009
Size wise it's a great fryer. The only regret I have is the temperature control tops out at 375 degrees. I have recipes that call for 400 degree oil. Wouldn't have purchased this model had I realized.

Presto Two-Basket Fryer - CHARLOTTE HENDERSHOT, Oct 05, 2009
This is a very good product. I only gave it four stars because the temperature only goes up to 375....400 would have been optimum.

With a little Mod this Fryer will be EXCELLENT - Luis Fabara, Sep 23, 2009
I got this fryer from my dad.He bought it because it was dirt cheap and looked great.At first, even at the 375F setting this frier would not get any hotter than 360F, so I decided to sell it on Ebay, and get another one, since Im starting to do some experiments for a Burger Franchise @Burgerhaus.
I had a burger fest on a weekend so I decided to try frying about 10 KG of fries on a Sunday.
The frier worked great, but sometimes the temperature was not enough when frying 1KG at once on the 2 baskets.
After looking on how the temperature sensors are secured, I decided to try modifying the fryer.
It seems that the sensors are perfectly calibrated for the temperatures on the dial. However, this sensors are attached with a metal plate directly to the heating element, so what the fryer actually reads its an average from the Oil temp and the heating element temp.
Removing the supporting plate and 2 screws that hold the sensors, allows the fryer to correctly read the Oil's Temp.
After doing this, the Presto Profry will get up to 390F as peaking point, and work at an average of 370F on the 375 on the Dial. 365 Peak and 350F average on the 350F ,and so on. The fryer will work perfectly after that. (Look at the pictures with the Thermometer @Customer Images)
I rate the fryer a 4, since this is a little design flaw, and also because it does not have an oil filtering system like other fryers.
Other than that, and after the mod, this is a SUPERB Fryer for only $69.99
I higly recommend using Palm Oil, High Smoke Point Peanut Oil, Soy Oil+Palm Olein. Do not use Canola, Olive, Sunflower or other Higly Monosaturated oils as this have low smoke points and will be health dangerous at any temp higher than 350F.
