The Presto 05411 GranPappy is a good budget electric deep fryer according to reviews. Although it lacks the fancy features of more expensive fryers, including a built-in system for draining and storing oil, owners say it can generate a lot of heat, so fried foods emerge crisp and nicely browned. The barrel-shaped GranPappy doesn't have a fry basket, but it does come with a scoop. This deep fryer is said to be lightweight and easy to store, and it comes with a snap-on lid that allows you to keep the oil in the fryer. Owners say it's an excellent value, and most don't miss having a built-in thermostat. Some owners report that the exterior can get hot. If you are looking for a deep fryer with more features, including an integrated drainage system for used oil, reviews indicate that the DeLonghi D895UX Roto (*Est. $100) is a good choice, but it's obviously far more expensive.
