Questions and Answers
Whenever I make battered foods, they stick to the basket. What can I do?
Battered foods work best when fried without the basket. When using the fryer without the basket, a heat resistant scoop may be used to add or
remove foods. These heat resistant scoops may be purchased on the web at www.GoPresto.com.
Sometimes my fryer won’t heat up or it stops working while I’m frying. Why?
If your fryer fails to preheat or if the cooking process stops while you are frying, check cord assembly to assure plug is properly attached to
the appliance (see Fig. G, page 3).
My food doesn’t get as crisp as I’d like and sometimes is unevenly cooked. What am I doing wrong?
You may have overfilled the basket. If too much food is fried at the same time, the food will not get crisp. Do not fill the basket more than
¾ full for most foods. For raw fries, only fill the basket with a single layer of fries.
If your food is unevenly cooked, you may be frying foods that are not uniform in thickness or size. Try frying foods of equal size and thick-
ness as they will fry more evenly and at the same speed.
