Brentwood DF-701 vs Presto 05411

I have this deep fryer, and it was driving me crazy with the temperature- it kept turning off when it was no way near hot enough. I was even checking with a thermometer (so lid was off). I decided to try one more time, and I don't know WHY, but I used the lid. I had never deep fried with a lid- my old deep fryer only used the lid for storage when oil was in it

frying needs specific temps, so...? As you might guess it is difficult to keep temp spot on like this

I used coconut oil and canola oil. Also, since the capacity is small, it can only handle small portions otherwise it’ll boil over so you have to watch it like a baby. The pic shows two regular size egg rolls which can handle ok. If you add more, it will boil and bubble over as pictured

That's right for you personally, therefore be conscious of it. Small annoyance, once you are searching to get the superb selection of substances, crea...

Markings inside show the minimum and maximum amounts of oil. In response to toddlers getting severely burned by pulling on power cords and overturning pots of hot oil, UL now requires appliances like deep fryers to have magnetic break-away power cords. Works fine, in my opinion. Safety is also the reason for the short cord, which is a plus for me as I use mine near an outlet

It's the difference between using a "professional" fryer, as opposed to "something that works." I wouldn't tout this as a fryer that can handle 4-5 portions, but 1-2? Absolutely. It can put out a couple of orders of fries, falafels, etc., if your key temp is around 350F

There's been no issues with the product itself, just is small and for us that is what we required. If you're looking to feed more than 2 - 4 people in one sitting or on average, then you might need something larger. It comes with the little basket and considering I'd used to have to pull them out with tongs in an older model, that is extremely useful and efficient. There's no real criticism to give as it's exactly what we asked for and expected in the product

Our old Presto GranPappy, which we had for over 30 years, finally needed to be replaced, so we purchased a new Presto GranPappy. But when the new one was delivered, we found that the new one is very different from the old one. (1) The new one is visibly smaller than the old one. We had expected it to be the same size
