Overview
The Presto 05411 GranPappy is a compact electric deep fryer that uses six cups of oil to fry about six servings at a time, with a ceramic nonstick PFAS-free surface. It suits home cooks who want an easy-to-clean fryer for fries, chicken and similar foods without a full pot of oil.
- Fries about six servings per batch
- PFAS-free ceramic nonstick coating
- Includes scoop for lifting and draining
- 120V, 60Hz household outlet only
Who it's for
Good for anyone frying smaller batches at home who wants low oil volume and easy cleanup over a large-capacity fryer. Less suited to anyone needing precise temperature accuracy for temperature-sensitive recipes like tempura, since at least one owner found the actual temperature ran noticeably hotter than the dial setting.
Pros and cons
- Uses just six cups of oil per batch
- Ceramic nonstick surface, easy to clean
- Holds temperature for consecutive batches
- Snap-on lid for spill-free oil storage
- No lid during frying, only for storage
- Actual oil temperature reported to run hot
Performance notes
One reviewer's independent thermometer check found the fryer running above the 375F target at full heat, so the automatic maintenance may hold a higher setpoint than the dial suggests. The ceramic nonstick coating is what makes cleanup fast, avoiding the oil residue buildup stainless interiors are prone to.

Frequently asked questions
How much oil does the Presto GranPappy need?
It uses about six cups of oil to fry a full batch, less than most stainless deep fryers.
Does the Presto GranPappy have a lid for frying?
No, the snap-on lid is for storing oil between uses, not for covering the fryer during cooking.
Is the Presto GranPappy's temperature accurate?
It automatically maintains a set temperature, though at least one reviewer measured actual oil temperature running above the 375F target when checked with a separate thermometer.
