"Being from a state that holds its state fair in high regard, I knew I had to have this piece of functional art the second I saw it. You have to love a piece of cooking equipment that costs less than the amount of cooking oil it takes to fill it. Something very American about that. To cook state fair food correctly, a comedian once said the oil has to be hot, "disfiguringly hot." This unit does it right.
That the state fair only last 10 days in August, so what's a guy to do the other 355 days of the year? No ribbon cut potatoes, no corndogs, no curly fries or deep fried Twinkies or Snicker's Bars? For the sheer enjoyment of fried, artery-clogging food, buy it. Who wants to live for ever?
I've owned several Presto-brand small appliances, and have been pretty satisfied with them. You can't do a turkey in this machine, but it will do everything else. I think if you were a church or other civic group doing a booth or similar event, this would be a nice, inexpensive option so one could sell donuts or other tasty treats.
I say, try it, you'll like it."
