Presto 06000 6 Quart Kitchen Kettle Review

Presto 06000 6 Quart Kitchen KettleI bought one at Walmart last year. I use it pretty often, but mostly for making popcorn. Turn temp to 350, put a couple-three tablespoons of peanut oil in the bottom, and then when the oil heats up throw in 1/3 to 1/2 cup of popcorn. Put the cover on and keep the pot moving while the corn pops. When the corn has just about stopped popping, turn the heat off and pour the popcorn into a bowl. Butter, salt and eat. YUM!

I've deep-fried scallops in it, steamed vegetables, cooked rice, made soup and even baked potatoes. The thing works great! I wasn't going to write a review until I saw Alton Brown talk some trash about it on Good Eats. I got pretty defensive about my humble Presto cooker! He was doing a silly episode about "man food" like corn dogs and thin, square hamburgers. Well, when Mr. Brown was explaining how to fry the corn dogs he said (while holding a Presto mutlti-cooker) that a pot with an heating element on the outside of the bottom wasn't a good idea because first the element had to heat the pot and then it had to heat up the oil. Too slow. After that he displayed three home-use rectangular fryers with immersion type heating elements. He said they were also better because they each had cooking baskets and break-away magnetic cords. He picked the one with the digital controls, while implying that this was somehow better than the manual rotary temp control.

I don't know if A. B. gets paid for product placement on his show, but I really thought he was being disingenuous regarding the Presto "pot." First of all, about the heating element on the bottom of the Presto cooker: During the frying demonstration, Mr. Brown had some text placed over the screen that said that if you didn't have a special electric fryer, that a pot on the stove-top would work fine. Isn't that interesting? What the heck is a pot on the stove, but just a heating element on the outside of a pot that heats up the pot and then the oil inside? That's exactly what he was criticizing the Presto kettle about. What gives? Secondly, the Presto cooker DOES TOO have a magnetic break-away electric cord to keep the unit from tipping when the cord is yanked by accident. Also, the Presto cooker DOES TOO come with a frying-steaming basket, which Brown implied it didn't have. Nya, nya, nya! See, I can be just as immature as Alton Brown!

I don't know if the rectangular fryers are really better, but I'm sure they cost a lot more. My Presto cooker was $26.85 at Walmart. I keep it in a lower cabinet - it doesn't take up much space there. I pull it out when I need it. It's inexpensive, easy to use, and simple. When we go to Maine in August, I'm allowed to take only one of my counter-top appliances. So, I just take the Presto cooker with me. Normally, I cook steel cut oats in a small bowl, sitting in water, in a slow cooker (a bain marie - sort of - found the idea here [link deleted]) I can do the same thing with the Presto cooker. And I have a pot with me on vacation that I can do so much more with.

One last thing. With my slow cooker I use a plug-in timer called a Rival Smart-Part. But it's not rated to control the wattage of the Presto multi-cooker. I found a heavy-duty programmable digital timer that I use to turn the Presto cooker off and on automatically. This device really allows me to use the Presto cooker like a slow cooker, without over-cooking stews and such when I am out of the house all day. The Presto multi-cooker is a terrific appliance! Buy one now, and don't believe everything you see on TV!

Flash Update! Here is another reason to buy a Presto multi-cooker: I'm making a beef stew with red wine tonight. What a mess browning the stew beef! I have a 3 quart Wagner cast-iron chicken fryer, and this is what I used to brown the beef chuck cubes. These days the meat hasn't been aged much, and so it is very difficult to brown properly. I managed to do it in batches, but the stove-top got pretty messy by the time I was done. I put the browned meat, vegetables, and garlic into the Presto cooker ( I made sure to deglaze the chicken fryer with wine and include all the tasty bits) and continued to cook the stew. And then I could proceed to clean up the stove-top while the beef stew simmered away in a different part of the kitchen. I am very pleased not to have to clean up all that oil spatter after dinner!

Russell Hobbs RHDF260A 3-1/2-Quart Cool Steel Fryer with Cool Zone Review

Russell Hobbs RHDF260A 3-1/2-Quart Cool Steel Fryer with Cool ZoneThis fryer is supposed to internally regulate itself to keep within 10 degrees of the desired temp... what a crock! I had it up to the highest temp (375), and it fried foods terribly, so I got out my candy thermometer: the highest temp it got to (and this was measured in the so-called "hot zone") was 350, and it was more often than not in the 325 range. Use a candy thermometer in a high-sided pot. This product was a terrible disappointment.

Product Description:
This versatile cooker prepares a variety of foods and makes it easy to get dinner on the table quickly. The all-in-one appliance operates as a deep fryer, a steamer, and a slow cooker. Steaming and boiling retain foods' moisture, while frying sears food, making it crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. When frying, the unit's roomy basket and deep oil level combine to accommodate a 2-pound bag of frozen fries or an entire 4-1/2-pound chicken. A complete chicken can be fried in about 35 minutes, quicker than oven roasting or rotisserie, making it a perfect choice for hectic weeknight meals. For added convenience, the basket can be raised and lowered with the lid in place, avoiding messy splatter and protecting the hands. The basket contains a hook to hold it above the liquid, which allows oil or water to drain off the food. Other details include a 5-quart liquid capacity, adjustable temperature control, ready lights, and a breakaway cord, which helps prevent the cooker from tipping over if the cord gets snagged. The unit assembles in no time and disassembles easily, making cleanup a snap. The multi-cooker appliance measures approximately 15 by 15 by 17 inches and carries a one-year warranty.

Hamilton Beach 35135 Meal Maker Multicooker, Stainless Steel Review

Hamilton Beach 35135 Meal Maker Multicooker, Stainless SteelAlthough this versatile appliance will steam and boil as well as deep fry, it was its frying ability that caught my interest and convinced me to buy it.And am I glad I did for last night we enjoyed some of the best fried chicken ever to come out of my kitchen.And yes, that's saying something.While we don't overindulge in fried foods, through the yearsI've fried my share of chicken, most of it to positive reviews.This batch was particularly moist and juicy, yet crisp on the outside, a fact which I attribute, at least in part, to the adjustable temperature gauge on the Multicooker.None of my other deep fryers had that feature.With the others, I was forced to rely on the manufacturers' preset temperature which I suspect wasn't really hot enough to prevent the chicken from absorbing some of the oil and becoming somewhat soggy.The Multicooker allows a range of 250° to 375 ° F.I set it at 375° as the manual suggests and the results weremouthwatering.

As for capacity, it's generous.The basket measures roughly 8" longby 7" wide and 3 1/2" deep.I was able to fit 4 large chicken thighs per batch with room to spare.I'm sure I could have added two more but I preferred to err on the side of caution to avoid overcrowding. Because the chicken was boneless and skinless, each batch only took about 10 minutes and was perfectly done.I fried three batches back-to-back and had no problems with the fryer overheating.

Deep frying is usually messy no matter how careful you try to be but my experience in that department was pretty positive too.The cooker is solidly built and simple to assemble.The lid fits the pot securely and the basket is easy to raise and lower with the lid in place, which greatly reduces spattering and the risk of burns.

I have no doubt that I'll use the Multicooker for boiling and steaming at some point but if all it ever did was deep fry, I'd still consider it money well spent.

DeLonghi D650UX Cool Touch Deluxe Deep Fryer Review

DeLonghi D650UX Cool Touch Deluxe Deep FryerFor $50 you can't beat this as a basic fryer, especially if purchasing for a smaller household. The capacity is enough to cook for 2 or 3 at a time, the unit is well-designed and solidly built, and even though it lacks a temperature control it heats the oil to 375 degrees (I checked with a cooking thermometer) which is what most recipes seem to recommend. The filter system works well to contain odors and the drainage tube makes cleaning a breeze. The only issue I've had is that it's hard to avoid condensation on the viewing window, but that's no big deal. Highly recommended.

Euro-Pro F1066 5-Liter Electronic Stainless Steel Deep Fryer Review

Euro-Pro F1066 5-Liter Electronic Stainless Steel Deep FryerAfter reading the reviews here that prompted me to buy this model, I thought it was only right that I share my thoughts after purchasing this model.
I've been using it about a month and am very pleased with the unit. It lets you know when the oil is at the right temperature (probably the biggest failure with deep frying... not hot enough). I didn't time it, but think it takes anywhere from 15 to 20 minutes to reach 375 degrees. Clean-up is 'relatively' easy.
'Relative' because I have come to the conclusion that "hot oil" just doesn't relate to being 'clean' or 'easy.' With this unit you will need a funnel. A plastic funnel is fine, as you shouldn't drain it while it is hot... and typically you are draining it back into a one-gallon plastic container. That's another thing. You're going to use a gallon of oil. Peanut is "suppose" to be the best, but seems to be the most expensive. I've only used peanut oil so far with this unit. Forget hard lard (Crisco) since it isn't recommended (as others have noted the heating element is in the oil, so I suspect that hard fat and the heating element would work somewhat like putting an egg in a microwave).
Also plan on buying a lot of oil. Oil breaks down due to the heat and just because you see them cooking chicken at KFC in one batch of oil all day, it doesn't work for the home unit. In other words, if they cook 15 lbs. of chicken a day per gallon of oil, you won't be able to cook 1 pound of chicken each day of the next 15 days. I think this is because you actually have the oil 'hot' for about 4 hours whether you cook just 1 pound or 15 pounds of chicken. It takes 3 hours for the oil to cool enough to pour it back into the plastic bottle. I would say that at the most, one should use the same oil 3 times... and probably 2 times is pushing it.
My previous experience was with the Presto Fry Daddy, Kid, brother, uncle, etc. I got one of those when they first came out and continued to be grease sick until about three years ago when I picked up another no-improvement Fry Daddy. It really does make a difference cooking hot enough and at the right temperature. But, recalling the complaint on one of the reviews of this unit... folks, this is cooking and you'll just have to do some experimenting. This ain't microwave where you set the time to 24 seconds and things come out perfectly. A chicken breast will take longer to cook than a chicken nugget.
I consider the 'acid' test for these fryers is using hush puppies (375 degrees) and then checking how much they retain the oil. Excellent, in my opinion.
I don't want to sound like a "generic warning label" but I do think you should have some safety concerns. It relates more to the amount of oil. We are talking about a gallon of oil that is very hot and stays hot for a long time. If you have little ones around (or a family get-together) I think this thing should stay in the cabinet. Yes, it has a unique plug that "should/might" detach if it is pulled, but accidents happen. I've worked in a burn center before and no matter what you can imagine, it IS worse. And to the patient, it is worse than what I can imagine looking and listening to them. The entire 'family' is changed forever.
Everything but 2 things can go in the dishwasher. The heating element is attached to the plastic display panel (one piece) and you'll need to hand wash the heating element (or wipe it down with a paper towel). The display will need some wiping with a cloth also since it gets some splatter. The outside wrapper (part that you see in the photos) is not recommended to be placed in the dishwasher. I sort of doubt it would cause any damage on the outside wrapper so I'll probably put it to a test someday, just like my "hand washables." Basically all the real dirty/greasy stuff goes in the dishwasher.
I would have given this product a 5 star but think a funnel or other way of easily pouring the oil back into the neck of a one-inch container should have been included with the fryer.
I bought this at Sears (higher price than Amazon) and they keep this model in stock. You might consider the GE unit that looks 'very' similar to this unit for less money. Do some research first, however. I was willing to pay the extra due to the numerous times that I got things that "looked the same" but turned out to be a different animal.

6 Cup Grandpappy Electric Deep Fryer Review

6 Cup Grandpappy Electric Deep FryerI have had this deep fryer in the past, tried two others since and have kept going back to this one. I like the Grandpappy size because I can fry a lot or little at one time. It frys evenly, even when it gets the flour at the bottom, and it is so easy to clean and use. I have given away my fancy ones for this down to earth "best of the best" fryers. Thank goodness I was able to find it on Amazon after the one I used for a zillion years lost most of its coating and I decided to retire it.

Maxi-Matic EDF-3500 Elite Gourmet 3-1/2-Quart Deep Fryer, Stainless Review

Maxi-Matic EDF-3500 Elite Gourmet 3-1/2-Quart Deep Fryer, StainlessI got this fryer as a free gift! Upon opening the box I was not intially impressed with it.
But now that I have been using it regularly for some months and it does have some short comings.I dont think I will go back to frying the old fashion way with a pot and temp. gauge.I am considering buying a second one for frying pastries only.Below I have listed the pros and cons I have run into while using this fryer.

CONS:
1.The wire backet has a handle that is designed to distach from the wire basket.When dealing with HOT oil, this was an accident waiting to happened and not worth the risk.My solution was to take the wire basket to a welding shop and have the handle perminately welded to the basket!

2.The white lettering denoting the tempature settings ect. is not permanent. The first time I cleaned this fryer with just dishwashing washing liquid and water.The white lettering wiped right off, never to be seen from again!!!! I have'nt thought of a solution yet to replace the white lettering.Because the white lettering wiped off the first time I cleaned it I'm only giving this fryer 4 stars,else I would have given it 5 stars.

3.It takes 20 minutes to heat up to it's maximum tempature of 375 degrees.

4.This fryer has a break away electric cord.The kind that uses magnets to hold the plug in the socket.
I personally find this a nuisance.Because sometimes the cord will break away due to slight movement.


PROS:
1.Using a tempature gauge I was able to confirm that this fryer when set to it's maximum tempature of 375 degrees.Does in fact reach 375 degrees with no problem.So far I have used it to fry french fries,onion rings,chicken wings,country fried steak and it's done an excellent job on all of them.

2.This fryer has a timer.I have'nt found any other fryers less than $100 that have a timer.Even the table top commerical fryers that cost upwards of $400 dont have timers.Though I have never used it.I think it's good to have.Even the double tank version they sell dont have a timer.

3.It dismantles without tools easily, making it easy to clean.

Bayou Classic 1101 10-Quart Stainless-Steel Fry Pot with Lid and BasketThis pot is lightweight stainless steel. The bottom scorched through, (blackened) on it's first use.I used it on my stove's 16,000 BTU burner, but that has not been a problem for my other cookware.The fried chicken it produced was good, but I'm sure this pot can't stand up to heavy use.Buy it only for occasional use.If you plan to fry alot, buy a basket for your dutch oven or buy a commercial aluminum fry bottom/basket.

Cooldaddy Electric Deep Fryer Review

Cooldaddy Electric Deep FryerWell, I've used my CoolDaddy for the first time and the food turned out great!Fry time was great.The basket worked like it was supposed to.It had easy cleanup.However, I've read the other reviews and nobody mentions that the CoolDaddy is not Cool at all.I accidentally touched the outside housing while frying my food and burned my fingers!Now, while there are no blisters to be had, my fingers were sore for a minute or so after I touched it.So buyer beware, if you are looking for a real "cool touch" deep fryer just as this Presto COOLDaddy boasts, you will be disappointed.I must say though, that it is cooler than the regular non cool touch deep fryers. So other than that, everything is great!

Thunder Group Fry Baskets Review

Thunder Group Fry BasketsI was very pleased when I removed this fry basket from the box and noticed how heavy it is.This is how items should be made.No flimsy handles or loose fitting pieces.It cleans well and the handle is long enough to stay cool when making fries.The basket is the perfect size for the Presto slow cooker/friers and much better quality than the basket that comes with the Presto.Another Amazon great value at a great price!
