How many Russet potatoes (cut into french fires) can I fry at one time. I have a smaller version that only does 3 potatoes at a time and I wish to fry least 6 cut up large potatoes at one time.

I typically fry 2.5 pounds of potatoes per batch. On average 6-8 medium size potatoes. I liked this fryer so much I purchased a second one for large groups.

I just cut potatoes for fries...I use one attachment for cube potatoes for hash, burritos, etc....i like all the three you mentioned above cubed....if you want to cut fries you need another attachment and I do not think it is available with this unit.

Don't know for sure, I fried up a batch of potatoes and onions (twice) as well as some walleye fillets and chicken wings (sever batches) and there seems to be plenty of fuel left in the cannister. Bottom line..... one fuel can will go a long way. I plan to take two with me for a week of shore lunches in Canada in June and that should be more than enough.

Depending on what you are frying keep the level between max and min. A turkey will take up more space than a handful of french frys so the level will need to be adjusted accordingly. I've used it for frying pastries and it takes the 2.5 gallons.

I can't decide between the 11 cup and 14 cup. How much bigger is the 14 cup. If I were doing 6 potatoes (cut in quarters, how many times would I have to empty the bowel in each of them. Thanks

I make turkey bacon for my son all the time, I cook 55 seconds per slice up to five slices. I haven't made more than five slices at a time so I'm not sure if you run into problems if you start to get into longer times. Also that makes the bacon pretty crispy,just the way my son likes it.

I only cook for 2 of us but we like leftovers. I guess I haven't tried to cook for 2 so I can't answer this question. I would think if you were cooking smaller amounts then you could cut down on your cooking time.

Agree with other commentors, a little expansion on the 'must be 5 on each side' - it doesn't HAVE to be 5 on each side, but if you go to 7 on one, you can only go to 1 on the other you cannot go higher than 5 on both sides at the same time. I did a large pot (size of pressure cooker but a little taller) of pumpkin soup on this with no trouble at all and had the lardons frying on the second ring.

You can, but just add your choice of cooking oil! I heat up the oil a little at first. Be careful to pat the potatoes dry before putting them in the pan with the oil so they won't splatter, and watch over them as you fry. I have the Presto Electric folding fryer, and I have fried breaded chicken cutlets in oil, and they come out moist and delicious. I have also made French fries very successfully. Good luck!

Yes I can fry a small fryer all at one time. I also use it to make my cinnamon rolls it holds 6 large rolls perfect for sunday buffet. Made a apple cobbler in it for a friends family reunion they loved it;

You can find descriptions of what each blade does on the Amazon page for the product. I my opinion, though, one would need to be processing a lot do food to make them worth the money. I only use them when we are having big family parties. The French fry cutter makes the potato pieces a nice size until they are cooked, then they shrink and are more like match sticks. The slicer is nice for even slices of things. Read the reviews, they have a lot of info in them. I am glad I bought them, but don't use them often.

Yes you can toast just one slice, but the one side - which ever one you choose - will heat as if you were toasting two. Quite often we toast three slices instead of four.

Yes you can. My suggestion if you are roasting potatoes is to extend the cooking time about 5 mins to attain desired crispiness though. I've used them up to 450 degrees, personally.

Ten. I cut 'em in two to make twenty. Seems to work fine. Just remember that the effect lasts for hours, so during that time, other dishes taste different. That's why I only use them for dessert--after the main dinner.

Yes.. If I'm cooking fries from fresh potatoes, I usually cut it into round chips , pour a little grape seed oil, and salt. Mix it all together so the oil coats the potatoes. Then I lay them on the rack and in about 8-10 mins they are ready. They come out very crispy and my kids love them. If you are cooking frozen they would also cook well.

I would say you can fry half a bag of fries (28-32 oz bag) at a time. Good size! Love it!
