Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
You don't need a 6- gallon oil vat to enjoy deep- fried foods at home--this petite deep fryer makes four big servings with just 4 cups of oil. A compact 7 inches in diameter, the fryer features easy controls for precision frying: it automatically maintains the proper frying temperature, letting you focus on cooking instead of fussing with the controls. The fryer features a snap-on lid, so you can store oil right in the fryer for reuse. All surfaces are nonstick for tidy cleanup (the fryer is not dishwasher-safe and should never be completely immersed in water). A hand scoop is included with the fryer for easy stirring, lifting, and draining, and the 120-volt AC cord unplugs from the outlet, while the attached handle makes the fryer easy to move around the kitchen. The fryer has a two-year limited warranty. --Ariel Meadow Stallings

What We Wanted4
A simplistic approach to deep frying small amounts. For that purpose and this price, it's all you might need.

Good little fryer5
I owned one of these guys about 15 years ago but somehow lost track of it. I tried those plastic fryers with closable lids that are supposed to keep the smell inside but hated it. It was difficult to keep the outside clean, the filter got clogged and the smell came into the house anyway. So got rid of that and returned to this little guy.

I don't fry that much anymore because the latest health reports are that you should not eat that much of it so this is reserved for those times where you just have to have french fries or deep fried fish. The advantage is that it is small and you don't have to use a lot of oil. The disadvantage is that it is small so you can only make a small amount. It is really smaller than I realized but that is what it is designed to be so I am not complaining about that. That magnetic safety plug is very safe. You surely wouldn't pull it down upon yourself but I did accidentally unplug it by just moving it over a little bit. Now I know how sensitive it is.

It's good for once in a while useage so it is perfect for what I need. However, if you have a larger family you should buy something bigger. They have the Fry Grand Daddy or you could just get two of these and keep one for fish and one for other. Hey, I might just do that! I like it!

Customer Reviews

Compact and efficient4
I bought this deep fryer to replace an ancient Tefal unit that had finally gotten too gross to use. The DeLonghi deep fryer suprised me initially, because it is so much smaller and lighter than the Tefal, but it has turned out to be a great appliance for me -- although I'm not cooking for a family, the capacity is at least as good as the Tefal it replaced.

The best thing about the DeLonghi is that it is much easier to drain when cooking is over, and so much easier to clean that it's difficult to credit. The deep frying unit is an immersion heater rather than a built-in heat supply and the entire deep fryer breaks down into components that are very easy to wash thoroughly. There are no hinges or any other crannies to trap grease.

It also has a very nice temperature control unit, with far more settings than the Tefal had. The only downside I've found was that the magnetically-attached power cord had a tendency to fall off when I first used it, resulting in a batch of chicken wings sitting for a long time in cooling oil. Now that I've gotten the hang of it, there have been no more problems.

Excellent5
Just received my ProFry and I can say we are delighted with it. The main concern I had was that it wouldn't get the oil hot enough to cook the foods the right way and we were happy that it worked perfectly.
I tested it first by making tortilla chips...amazing! These are so wonderful; just as good as my favorites at the neighborhood Mexican restaurant.
I'm looking forward to making all kinds of great tasting foods.

Presto 05466 Profry SS Dual-Basket Deep Fryer5
Having read previous reviews on this product prior to purchasing it, I knew how to avoid problems with the unit and it worked perfectly. It didn't take long for the oil to heat and the food cooked fast and evenly. I just kept the oil at the mark set on the side of the container and didn't overload the baskets. By only putting a single layer of fish in at a time, the cooking was fast (about 3 minutes) and the food evenly cooked. I'd recommend this product to everyone.

Amazon.com Review

This impressive appliance is designed to be easy and safe to use, clean to operate and wash, and produce exceptional food. It delivers on all accounts. The detailed instructions lead you through the process of heating oil to the correct temperature, then lowering the frying basket into the oil as the lid remains closed. This means that odors and mess are kept inside the fryer.

A Better Frying Experience

The D895UX features a patented rotating basket. This titled rotating basket revolves the food through the oil provides. The end result if that it allows you to use half the amount of oil normally required--without sacrificing anything in taste. The whole process makes surprisingly nongreasy food because the oil is heated evenly to the correct temperature. You end up with healthier, but still scrumptious, fried foods. And, the windowed lid allows you to monitor the cooking process safely.

A Host of Great Features

The fryer has a non-stick interior that is easy-to-clean, while the adjustable thermostat with indicator light allows you to set frying temperature from 300 to 370 degrees, giving you the flexibility to fry foods jus the way you like them. A built-in digital timer with bell can be pre-set; a viewing window lets you check on the food while it's cooking. Safety is built in--the sides of the fryer remain cool, and the hot oil stays inside, and non-slip feet keep fryer in place. When the food is done, there's an exterior lift handle that makes it easy to raise or lower the basket with the fryer lid closed to prevent splattering. The 1.5-pound capacity accommodates ample French fries, calamari, or tempura for four.
Easy Cleanup

DeLonghi gives careful attention to cleanup. Forget dealing with messy, hot oil. The ingenious easy clean oil drain system makes draining and recycling cooking oil safe and easy. Simple open the door on the front of the unit and drain. A tube unfolds from a hidden compartment and efficiently drains the oil so that it can be used again--a system that's both easy and clean. The lid and frying basket are dishwasher-safe. There are two replaceable filters--dual filtration prevents the release of oil vapors and odors in the kitchen—and a detachable cord with patented condensation shield. For safer operation, the magnetic cord easily detaches from the fryer if accidentally pulled. This unique safety feature is designed with a patented condensation shield to prevent dripping onto the cord connection. The fryer measures 14-3/4 by 12 by 9-1/2 inches and weighs 10.8 pounds. --Sherry Smith
