In 1956, Presto introduced a complete line of fully submersible electric cooking appliances employing the first removable heat control. Other notable innovations include the PrestoBurger hamburger cooker in 1974, the FryBaby electric deep fryer in 1976, the SaladShooter electric slicer/shredder in 1988, and the Pizzazz pizza oven in 2000.

I bought it for my kid’s party to fry up spring rolls. This does the job well. I like having the temperature button. Compact compared to my other deep fryer and it doesn’t splatter all over the place.

Love this! Great size! Not too small and not too large! Doesn’t take up a ton of room. I put it away in a cabinet when I’m not using it.

Fries chicken so evenly crispy and FAST! I love how the temperature stays steady unlike frying on the stovetop.

Easy to clean too! Great value for the price!

The only minor bad things is that it uses a more oil than stovetop frying and also that the vent warps a little when the hot steam comes out when you’re frying but these were not dealbreakers for me, considering how well this fryer works.

5.0 out of 5 stars The flawless fryer...a needed kitchen gadget even if you normally eat healthy like me.
Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2015
Style: FryerVerified Purchase
For years I did not want to take up my already packed kitchen cabinets with a fryer. I eat healthy and I would just use a pot and oil. I didn't feel the need--until I watched a friend fry up some appetizers far more easily and perfectly and wondered why I didn't have a fryer.

Let's face it, the key to perfectly fried foods is the temp of the oil. You can't guesstimate that and you don't have to with this. When it's the right temp for frying (which you can adjust but it has a chart with it--pretty much turn the knob up all the way and everything fries perfectly if you want the easy way--it's a no brainer) the light goes off. If you fry a batch of something and it cools the oil down, the light is back on so you know when it heats back up to being perfectly ready. If you have to add more oil, you will also know when it gets to frying temp. No more guesswork.

The basket just makes everything so much easier too--no scooping anything out of hot oil...just lift and dump out on the paper towel.

Diet is all about balance and when I entertain I find myself using this every time. I can have something cooking in the oven and fry up instant hot appetizers or you can make a protein and fry up some fries, you can get fancy like the Texas wontons I made placed over guacamole and garnished with red pepper jelly (but still super fast to make--just stuff cut eggroll wrappers with cream cheese, Mexican cheese and green chiles), or shrimp and okra beignets...or funnel cakes and donuts for the kids. It's a treat maker and a go to gadget for party food and entertaining, let's face it.

Plus it will pay for itself when you do things like make your own fish sticks, french fries, donuts, etc. You also eliminate the chemicals and preservatives and everything tastes better.

Chili cheese fries? Get yourself a spiral slicer and you can make spiral cut potatoes literally in seconds.

fried mozzarella? You will never eat store bought again.

Get a fryer cookbook--the Southern Living one is excellent, and you will be as addicted to this as I am. Plus when you invite people over for dinner they love to watch you use it. And want one.

This one is the perfect size and heats fast and fries evenly. If it broke, I'd buy the exact same one again.

I make my own taco and tostado shells from leftover tortillas but my favorite thing is to make soups and slice tortilla ribbons and fry them up--great on soups and salads and better than croutons! Looks prettier too!
