Overview
The Presto 05470 is a 1 liter electric deep fryer with a stainless steel exterior and anodized aluminum interior, sized for frying small portions of fries, shrimp or onion rings rather than a full family meal.
Its main advantage is scale: the fryer heats a liter of oil quickly, and the vented cool touch cover with a built in spatter screen keeps splatter and odor down while frying.
- Adjustable thermostat for temperature control
- Brushed stainless steel exterior, anodized aluminum interior
- 1 liter oil capacity (1.1 quarts)
- 120V, 1000 watt element
Who it's for
Best suited to a single person or a couple frying small portions a few times a week. Anyone feeding a family or frying in bulk will find the 1 liter capacity limiting.
Pros and cons
- Heats up quickly for small portions
- Vented cool touch lid with spatter screen limits mess
- Compact enough to store easily
- Indicator light shows when it's plugged in
- Overloading the basket drops oil temperature
- Inner pot doesn't lift out for cleaning
- Oil capacity limited to about 1 liter
Performance notes
The anodized aluminum interior and 1000 watt element bring oil up to temperature quickly, and the adjustable thermostat lets you dial in a frying temperature rather than using a single fixed setting. Because the pot holds only about a liter of oil, adding too much food at once drops the temperature and affects how crisp the food turns out, so smaller batches fried in sequence work better than one large load.
