The PantryPro 2.5-liter deep fryer is designed with a "cool-touch" polypropylene exterior to help manage surface temperatures during use. It features a 1500-watt heating element paired with a non-stick coated basket, aimed at providing rapid heat recovery for consistent results. The lid includes a tempered glass viewing window, though condensation is common during the cooking process.
Practical safety features include a magnetic breakaway power cord and a thermal insulation layer inside the housing. The analog dial allows the user to set temperatures up to 375°F. Specifications indicate the non-stick coating on the basket is best maintained by avoiding abrasive cleaning tools, which can cause the surface to wear prematurely.
- 1500-watt element provides quick recovery for a 2.5L volume.
- Cool-touch sides offer an additional layer of safety for the home.
- Removable lid facilitates a more thorough initial cleaning.
Because the polypropylene housing can expand and contract during high-heat cycles, it is helpful to handle the lid hinge with care to avoid stress on the pins. The unit includes a basic integrated mesh filter to help manage odors, and the short power cord is designed to prevent the unit from being easily pulled off a countertop. This fryer is built for occasional home use where kitchen space is a priority.
If you prefer a stainless steel exterior, the Wusililu 2.5L Deep Fryer provides a similar capacity in a different finish. You can see more medium-sized fryers in our mini countertop deep fryers section.
