The Presto Dual Basket Pro Fry is a 1,800-watt immersion-element deep fryer with two oblong baskets and a 5-quart, 12-cup food capacity. The dual baskets let you fry two foods at once or one large batch, and the thermostat tops out at 375°F with a ready light. The element and enameled pot lift out for cleaning, and the baskets nest inside the pot for storage. It suits families and home cooks who fry in volume; against single-basket fryers it trades a bigger footprint for flexibility, and owners say the element recovery keeps oil hot between batches.
