Professional-style deep fryer for easy at-home frying! The Presto® stainless steel Pro Fry™ features an 8-cup food capacity for frying family-size batches and an 1800-watt immersion element that assures quick preheating and fast oil temperature recovery. The oblong-shaped basket is ideal for frying large pieces of chicken or fish. Select the desired frying temperature with the adjustable thermostat.
