Presto 5466 ProFry – Deep Frying Enchiladas

Okay, so at the suggestion of a reader I’ve recently taken to deep frying enchiladas with my electric fryer.  I’ve chosen this model from Amazon, the 5466 model dual bin Presto profry for this task for several reasons.

First off, this electric fryer has a very deep body which means that there is enough oil to cover whatever foods I’m going to be frying.  Another thing I really like is that because there are two frying baskets I can deep fry in batches and not have to pause and go which makes it really easy to whip up large batches of food for my large family and for dinner parties.

I don’t know how many of you have experienced this, but I buy my enchiladas frozen either from my regular grocery store or from Trader Joes and such and they tend to come frozen.  A very big problem I often face is that my Electric Deep Fryer does not cook up each piece evenly so the outsides will be burnt while the inside with the filling is still frozen and under cooked. Fortunately, the 5466 has enough room for the oil to circulate while the food is cooking and this helps maintain an even cooking temperature.  I am proud to say that my enchiladas came out perfectly cooked this time both inside and out!  However, even though this fryer pretty much makes deep frying any food idiot proof you still have to use some common sense and not overload it…

I also like the cover that comes with the ProFry as it has air vents so you can use it to cover the unit and reduce oil splatter while you are cooking.  The wire baskets are also collapsible and easy to store which is a very important design since leaving the baskets in the oil when they are not being used will lead to rancid oil build up which is very difficult to clean.

My one gripe with this fryer is that you might need to have a meat thermometer unless you are used to deep frying foods and know what to look for to make sure that they are fully cooked.  However this should not be a big problem as meat and fryer thermometers are pretty cheap and only cost a couple bucks at the grocery store.

So even though I only tried to cook enchiladas with the ProFry, this is a good sized fryer for a variety of deep fried foods especially if you have to cook in large batches.

With the Presto Frydaddy electric deep fryer you can fry up crispy snacks at home anytime and impress your friends and family with delicious restaurant quality fried foods.  It’s like having your favorite restaurant in your own kitchen 24 hours a day.

The Presto FryDaddy uses only 4 cups of oil so there’s no messing with dangerous vats of hot oil and no waiting forever for your fryer to heat up.  Your family will be healthier too eating foods fried with fresh oil rather than the rancid sludge that’s used in many restaurants.
The Presto FryDaddy Electric Deep Fryer has automatic temperature controls for fool proof cooking.  Your friends and family will be amazed as you serve plate after plate of light, crispy, golden fried foods.  Focus on cooking or kick back and relax while your FryDaddy works for you.

With this Electric Deep Fryer from Presto you won’t have to worry about fiddling with temperature controls.  Never be embarassed by serving your guests undercooked, burnt, or soggy food again.

A snap on lid ensures your oil will stay clean and fresh for months.  There’s no need to refill the fryer every time you want to make a snack.  And your neighbors won’t wonder why your home smells like a greasy spoon diner the moment they walk in.

The Presto FryDaddy is easy to use and mess free.  The lift and drain scoop means less oil dripping everywhere and you won’t get burned by dangerous hot oil splatters.

The non stick interior is also easy to clean.  Just wipe down with paper towels after draining the oil.  You don’t have to soak and scrub for hours.

The Presto FryDaddy is perfect for home use.  At 7″ wide, the FryDaddy is smaller than a frying pan so it fits perfectly on your counter top, in the fridge, or in your cabinets.  This Electric Deep Fryer is light and portable, perfect for cookouts, parties at friends’ homes, and camping.

The FryDaddy is a good budget Electric Deep Fryer.  This model is more than enough for the home cook who wants to fry up some wings, fries, and donuts.  You will never end up with soggy oil drenched food using the automatic temperature control.

For those who wish to fry larger foods like whole chickens or fish fillets, I wouldn’t recommend the FryDaddy.  Instead you should look at a larger capacity Electric Deep Fryer such as  the Presto 05450 DualDaddy electric deep fryer.  The DualDaddy has an 8 serving capacity which would work better for your needs.
