Presto 06009 10-Quart Kitchen Kettle XL Multi-Cooker, Steamer and Deep Fryer, Black

I have purchased different fryers over the years and most of them are just hard to clean and get all the grease out of every nook and cranny. This Presto 10-quart kitchen kettle is big enough to take on all of your large frying needs. You don't have to worry about the oil boiling over and it maintains the proper temperature. It holds one gallon of oil. It's easy to use, fill with oil up to the line and turn it on the temperature for whatever you're frying. It heats up pretty quick. I let my oil cool completely and strain it into another container and use it several times. The pot is SO easy to clean too. It is nonstick so no worries about stuck on oil. My favorite thing to fry is chicken. It comes out crispy and taste delicious. I have bought my last fryer for sure.

We've been using the Presto Kitchen Kettles for years and love them. This 10 Qt (XL) size is quite large compared to our last one but we love it just the same. If you are looking for one that would be awesome for a family of 4 or more this 10 Qt is the one you want.

Absolutely love this large kettle. I use it specifically for deep frying. I previously owned the Cuisineart compact 1 liter deep fryer for 6 years. It suited us well for just my husband and I. Over the years as the family grew or we hosted gatherings it was difficult to fry large batches as well as cleaning it. The Presto Kitchen Kettle XL is an asset in our kitchen and serves its purpose well. It’s large enough to use for big gatherings, larger food quantities, and easy to clean as you can unplug both the temp gauge and cord and hand wash it or place it in a dishwasher. The most attractive feature to me personally is that it doesn’t look like a hideous industrial deep fryer as many of them do once they go larger in size. While at 10 qts it certainly is a large appliance on my countertop I like the fact that it looks like a pot. It does require quite a bit of oil because the surface area is wide and large. I can easily fill it with a gallon of oil but can get away with 1/2 gallon depending on what I’m frying. They do have a smaller version of this which maybe be appealing for some. The max temp on this gauge is 400. I find that most of my cooking happens at 300 - 350 and it maintains the temperature well. The warm up time in the instruction booklet is 30 minutes however I’ve only waited about 10 - 15 minutes prior to placing food in the unit. I look forward to trying it out for other uses other than deep frying but am truly satisfied with this purchase.

I wanted a large kettle to fry fish outside and this pot is great. It gets hot and stays the temperature you set it for. The oil temp doesn’t drop to a simmer when dropped fish into the hot oil, fish is crispy and quickly cooked. Being able to wash the entire pot (it’s submersible) this is a game changer (clean)

This is easy to use, cooks fried food at an even temperature & easy to use. Took a star off for the food tray & handle, the handle goes up & down. When you are frying, it’s in the fryer & gets really hot which makes it hard to take out. We make it work but wish the basket & handle were made differently. Besides that it’s a great fryer, easy to use & clean!

If you do family gatherings, a must have for stock pot, stews and soups.

I purchased a T-fal Deep Fryer Stainless Steel 3.5 L 1800 Watts 3 years ago and it no longer works. Despite resetting the T-Fal fryer the oil was unable to come to temperature & simply stopped working...so disappointing! The exposed coil element is never a good idea. Since I already own a smaller Dry Daddy for the pat 25 years I decided to purchase the XL 10Q Fry Daddy to replace my broken T-Fal. So far it works amazing, frying larger batches of fries in minutes. This XL unit will be a great addition and I am sure this will last much longer than the T-Fal.

I bought this pot a year and a half ago. I've been enjoying it so much that I decided to write a review here. At first I wasn't happy with it because, when I tried to heat oil to 400, it only went up to 375, according to my digital thermometer. But I didn't want to return the poor thing, so I kept it. Then my son got sick with the flu and I wanted to create steam for him. I used this pot to boil water, and it's so big that it held plenty of water and made tons of steam. I steamed him for 3 hours a day at 95 degrees room temperature (used room heater) for 7 days, replenishing the water occasionally. Son recovered without seeing a doctor. He got the same flu a few years before that and took him a month to recover, after a doctor's visit and antibiotics and everything. I give all the credit to the Presto pot for my son's rapid recovery! So recently, I've started making the British fish and chips. This pot is perfect for it, keep the temperature steady at 375, and it's big enough that I can fry 4 large pieces at the same time. I made 2 pounds of fried cat fish in 3 batches, not burning or under cooking the fish like in the past. My fish is perfectly golden, crispy and fantastic! I am moving to a small apartment soon, and I'm taking my Presto pot with me, even though it is very bulky and takes a lot of space. It's worth it!

Amazing pot for soups, stews, and deep fry. Easy to clean. My go to for sure.

Lo utilizo para derretir cera de soya y tiene un gran tamaño a comparación de la regular.

I like it because it’s wide and big

Lo recomiendo, viene muy amplio

Pour la friture , les soupes et stew
