Presto Industries, in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, has been making deep fryers
since WWII. Get one of their round cast aluminum models, only as large as
you need. The large square fryers[which Presto now, unfortunately, imports
from China] take too much oil. They don't get hot enough. Our Cast Aluminum
Presto Fryer has been going for 25 years without problems.
