Presto GranPappy Electric Deep Fryer, Black 6-Cup, with Automatic Temperature Control

Presto 05411 GranPappy Electric Deep Fryer is a countertop fryer for making fried foods, with capacity for up to six cups (1.42 L) of oil and up to six servings at a time.

• Uses up to six cups (1.42 L) of oil or three pounds (1.36 kg) of shortening — fry family-sized portions with a measured amount of cooking fat.
• Automatic thermostat and a 15-minute preheat — brings the oil to frying temperature and regulates it during cooking.
• PFAS-free ceramic nonstick surface inside and out — helps food release and simplifies cleanup.
• Magnetic safety cord connection — disconnects if the fryer is jostled, shutting off power.
• Snap-on lid — covers strained oil stored in the fryer for reuse.
• Heavy-cast aluminum construction and included slotted scoop — fry and lift food with a scoop made for draining, turning, and serving.

For fried foods at home, the GranPappy provides an electric countertop alternative to heating a large pot on the stove. Its compact bucket shape is made for countertop use, while the automatic temperature control and included scoop support the frying process from preheating through serving. It suits foods such as French fries, chicken, shrimp, and onion rings.

How much can the Presto GranPappy fry at once?

The Presto GranPappy holds up to six cups of oil or three pounds of shortening and can cook up to six servings at a time. Its capacity is suited to preparing multiple portions in one batch, including French fries and other foods that can be lifted with the slotted scoop. The fryer measures 8 by 8-1/2 inches (20.3 by 21.6 cm), giving you the key footprint dimensions to compare with your counter space.

• Designed for up to six servings per batch.
• Black, bucket-shaped countertop design.

How does the GranPappy control frying temperature?

The Presto GranPappy uses an internal thermostat to maintain frying temperature automatically, and it is ready to fry about 15 minutes after heating begins. Add oil, plug it in, and allow it to preheat; the thermostat regulates the oil during cooking. Its quick preheat and temperature recovery support a straightforward countertop frying routine.

• Electrical requirement: 120 volts, 60 Hz only.
• The magnetic power-cord connection detaches if the unit is jostled, cutting power.

What comes with the Presto GranPappy, and how is oil stored?

The Presto GranPappy includes a slotted scoop and a snap-on plastic lid. Use the scoop to lift and drain cooked food, or to turn food during frying; once used oil has been strained, it can be poured back into the fryer and covered for storage and later reuse. The lid fits over the fryer, so oil can remain in the unit between uses.

• Also includes an instruction and recipe sheet.
• The nonstick surface is ceramic and PFAS-free, and covers the interior and exterior.
• Heavy-cast aluminum construction.

How do you clean the Presto GranPappy?

Unplug the Presto GranPappy and let it cool completely before emptying oil. Wash it by hand with warm, sudsy water and dry it thoroughly; the fryer is not immersible. To protect its nonstick finish, avoid steel wool and harsh or abrasive cleaners.

• Clean only after unplugging and allowing the fryer to cool.
• One-year limited manufacturer warranty.
