Product DescriptionFry two different types of food at once or extra-large batches with this professional-style dual-basket deep fryer. The unit's generous 12-cup food capacity allows for frying family-size quantities in a hurry, while its oblong-shaped baskets nicely accommodate large pieces of chicken or fish. An adjustable thermostat allows for selecting a variety of frying temperatures, and the signal light indicates when oil is ready for frying. Another highlight includes the unit's 1800-watt immersion element, which provides quick preheating and fast oil-temperature recovery. The appliance's cover acts as a spatter shield when lowering food into hot oil, and its heating element and enameled pot remove easily for quick cleanup. For great restaurant taste in a convenient at-home size, the deep fryer measures 16 by 15 by 11 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty
What Others Say
Deep Fryer
Excellent for one or two people. Good but slower for larger groups. Prepare two different foods at the same time. Fairly quick temperature recovery considering the foods being fried were still frozen.
Works deliciously.
Works deliciously. I love zuchinni fries and onion rings with a deep firey passion, so I figured I'd buy something like this. Little did I know how good it works, I have had friends come over and think my food's as good as restaurant food. Really, this works amazing, if you're deep frying onions to chicken wings. It makes a delicious treat.
There has to be a better fryer out there
After reading all of the wonderful reviews here I was almost ready to order it. Fortunately I held off and found the same unit at a local retailer for less than advertised here. I would not buy Presto 05466 ProFry Stainless-Steel Dual-Basket Immersion-Element 12-Cup Deep Fryer again. While I have not got a thermometer that reads high enough to verify the temperature, my guess is that it is running cool as others have reported. I have used it now four times, twice for home made fries, once with sweet potato and once with regular potato, and once for beer battered halibut, and most recently for beer batter onion rings. The results were no better than using a heavy pot on the stove top. Food still comes out every bit as oily and greasy as cooking on the stove top, maybe even worse, which leads me to suspect ...

Excellent
Ive owned 3 other fryers but I must say this one is the best by far.Ive had no problems with oil temperature at all. The fryer takes a bit over a gallon of oil so be sure to invest in a decent strainer to strain and conserve your oil. We fried chicken,fries,fish etc in large quantities and came out with uniform great tasting results every time.Ive had the fryer for a month now and it was well worth the money and cleanup was a breeze. It really does give restaurant quality results and I highly recommend it for the price.
Presto 05466 ProFry
I love it! It works great. The tempura and fried chicken that I tried the unit on was excellent. Everything came out crispy. This is my first fryer so I can't compare it to anything else. I'm very happy with it.
