Product Description
Product Description
Delicious deep fried foods - fast and easy! Uses just six cups of oil and maintains perfect frying temperature automatically. Snap-on lid stores oil to use again and again. 120 volts, 60 Hz only
Amazon.com
In the homespun days, food was usually fried in a big cast-iron metal pot. But modern times demand simpler solutions. The Presto GranPappy electric deep fryer fits on a countertop and is so easy to use. Just add oil, plug it in, and in 15 minutes it's heated up and ready to fry. Its sleek, black bucket shape matches form to function-- simple and classic.
The GranPappy holds up to six cups of oil or three pounds of shortening, and it can accommodate up to six servings of food at a time. The internal thermostat keeps the oil at the optimum frying temperature. An accompanying scoop, slotted for draining, is for lifting food in and out or for turning food halfway through the cooking time. The power cord has a magnetic safety connection, so that if the unit is jostled during cooking, the cord will disconnect, shutting power off immediately. After straining the used oil, it can be poured back into the unit and stored, covered by the accompanying snap-on plastic lid.
After frying, unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely before attempting to empty oil. Wash the GranPappy with warm, sudsy water and dry it thoroughly; it is not immersible. To preserve the nonstick finish, inside and out, do not use steel wool or harsh, abrasive cleansers. The Presto GranPappy measures 8 by 8-1/2 inches. Presto guarantees this product with a one-year limited warranty. A simple instruction and recipe sheet is enclosed. --Garland Withers

It works exactly as it is advertised to.
The measurements are 8.25 inches in diameter, and 8.25 inches from the counter to the top edge of the pot. I couldn't find anything that measured 10 inches except the strainer ladle, which has a 4x4 inch spoon. It is sturdy and not likely to bend or get soft from the heat.
The outside of the pot DOES get VERY HOT! So be very careful when using it. Don't have anything plastic or otherwise non-heat resistant, including the lid, near the fryer when it is plugged in. And do NOT touch it with your bare hands/skin!
Depending on the material your countertop is made with, you might consider placing the fryer on a 1/4 baking sheet to protect your countertop from heat.
The plastic lid snaps on easily AFTER the oil and fryer have completely cooled, and fits well.
So, I received my GranPappy yesterday. After reading through the little manual for instructions for use and cleaning, I washed it as directed, made sure it was thoroughly dry, filled it to the oil line with vegetable oil and allowed it to heat up for 15 minutes before making some French fries.
Because I am an avid cook for close to 50 years, I know that oil and water do NOT mix! With that in mind, I placed my frozen fries on a paper towel and zapped them in the microwave for a minute or two until the ice crystals melted, then gave them a quick pat with a paper towel to remove any remaining moisture. I didn't want hot oil splattering everywhere; especially not on me!
The fries took about 12 minutes to cook to a nice golden brown. The time it takes your fries to cook might vary depending on the thickness of your fries, whether they are fresh, thawed, or frozen, and how many you put in the fryer. You don't want to over-crowd food in the fryer or it won't cook properly.
Tonight, I decided to fry up some chicken!
I had 4 pretty good sized thighs that I had just bought. The were raw and unfrozen. I read several comments here saying bone-in chicken wasn't completely cooked and when left in the fryer to fully cook, the chicken ended up burnt. Because of that, I am passing along another tip --
I placed my chicken thighs in the microwave on DEFROST for about 10 minutes. Then I breaded them with a double coating for some extra crispy chicken, place them immediately in the fryer for 14 minutes and they came out perfectly cooked, golden brown and crispy as ever! And the crispy stayed ON the chicken. I did put all 4 thighs (1.95 pounds) in the fryer at the same time without difficulty.
I am VERY pleased with my GranPappy and look forward to frying shrimp, okra, apple fritters, oysters, potato chips, donuts, and more!

Since there isn't a temperature dial, in doing the "twice-fry" method, I kinda "wing it". Any fryer oil will cool down when ingredients are added, so instead of letting the GranPappy heat up for the full 15 minutes, which I believe puts the temp at 375 F, I do my 1st fry around the 10 minute mark. I've been doing homemade fries for years, so I know by looking at the fries when they are ready in the 1st fry. (they get VERY SLIGHTLY golden and a few bubbles on the exterior- also they will start to float to the top). Then I freeze them spread out on a cookie sheet lined with parchment (so they don't all clump together), package when frozen and when we want fries, I let the GranPappy heat up for the full 15 minutes, add the fries and they are done in just a couple of minutes. Servings per fry (not french fry-but "fry-ing") depends on who I'm serving, If just my husband and me, then I get about 2 servings per fry - if my sons then maybe 1 serving per fry-HAHA)- My family LOVES them though! Crispy exterior, fluffy interior. I do agree with the other reviewers that the plastic scoop that comes with the GranPappy is useless, I use a wooden-handled spider.
Cleaning has been simple, dump the oil, wipe out the inside with paper towel, cover or add new oil and you're good to go! If you're tired of cleaning stainless steel fryers or just want a "no-frills fryer that works" I recommend the GranPappy. It's simple but does a great job! Sometimes simplicity is the best.
Top reviews from other countries
First and foremost, the performance of the Presto GranPappy is outstanding. It quickly heats up to the desired temperature, ensuring that my food cooks evenly and achieves the perfect golden crispness. The 1,500-watt heating element is powerful enough to handle various types of food, from French fries and onion rings to chicken wings and even doughnuts. Each batch comes out beautifully cooked and mouthwateringly delicious.
The GranPappy's simplicity and ease of use are also noteworthy. With its straightforward design and easy-to-follow instructions, even those new to deep frying can achieve excellent results. The compact size and lightweight construction make it convenient to set up and store, taking up minimal counter space.
Cleaning the deep fryer is a breeze as well. The non-stick surface ensures that food residue doesn't stick, making it easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth. The removable heating element adds to the convenience, allowing for thorough cleaning without any hassle.
One of the standout features of the GranPappy is its temperature control. The adjustable thermostat allows precise temperature settings, giving me the flexibility to cook different types of food to perfection. The built-in indicator light signals when the fryer has reached the desired temperature, eliminating any guesswork and ensuring consistent results.
Safety is a top priority, and the GranPappy delivers on that front too. The exterior stays cool to the touch during operation, reducing the risk of accidental burns. The convenient slotted scoop provided with the fryer allows for safe food handling without the need for additional utensils.
In terms of durability, the Presto GranPappy is built to last. The sturdy construction and high-quality materials inspire confidence in its longevity. I can tell that this deep fryer is designed to withstand regular use and provide reliable performance for years to come.
Overall, I highly recommend the Presto 05411 GranPappy Electric Deep Fryer to anyone who enjoys homemade deep-fried treats. Its exceptional performance, user-friendly design, easy cleaning, and temperature control make it an excellent investment. Treat yourself to restaurant-quality fried foods in the comfort of your own home with this remarkable fryer.
I hope this review helps others discover the joy of cooking with the Presto GranPappy Electric Deep Fryer. Embrace the crispy and delicious world of homemade deep-fried goodness!
The best deep fryer for home/family use. My mom's had one for many years now and I now know why. Easy to use and store away as compared to the bigger heftier oil fryers out in the marketplace. This heats up quickly every time and fantastic for cooking. It has no temperature regulator so you cannot set temperatures. However. Very easy to clean and dump out used oil. The cord is attached at the base magnetically so you can detatch the cord also for easy storage.
It comes with a plastic lid on top. Bottom line since it is such a simple unit it works wonderfully.
As such I leave you with a fried chicken recipe below with respect to using this (and all types of) fryer...
"The secret to good fried chicken is a real crisp skin.This is a great little fryer, but with chicken you need an extra yet worthwhile step to have the best fried chicken you ever smacked your lips around. This fryer does that but not if the bone-in chicken is raw, the temp of this fryer is too high for raw, bone-in chicken and what happens is undercooked chicken, even legs. But there is a way to get around that and it makes the chicken much better anyway.
What you need to do is place the pieces of chicken you want to fry in a pot, cover with cold water, add salt to taste and, what I like is a healthy dose of Tabasco sauce. Enough to change the water color and to smell its aroma. You can use whatever herbs or spices you want to impart in the flesh if you like. Bring the cold water with chicken and flavors to a boil uncovered. Once it comes to a boil, remove the chicken, do not boil too long. Let it sit out to dry, it only takes a minute or two for the hot chicken to dry itself, Then, however you want to coat it, I dip the chicken in buttermilk and then flour. Let that sit at least fifteen minutes, as long as it does to let the oil come up to temperature, this gives enough time for the buttermilk and flour to adhere, making less mess in your oil and a better crust. Fry three pieces at a time if you like but no more, it doesn't take long to bring it to a beautiful golden color. Place it on a rack, never on paper towels to drain, that will keep your chicken crisp on both sides. Once cooled slightly, plate it and you'll have yourself some real good fried chicken."
