A compact 7 inches in diameter, the fryer features easy controls for precision frying: it automatically maintains the proper frying temperature, letting you focus on cooking instead of fussing with the controls. The fryer features a snap-on lid, so you can store oil right in the fryer for reuse. All surfaces are nonstick for tidy cleanup (the fryer is not dishwasher-safe and should never be completely immersed in water). A hand scoop is included with the fryer for easy stirring, lifting, and draining, and the 120-volt AC cord unplugs from the outlet, while the attached handle makes the fryer easy to move around the kitchen. The fryer has a two-year limited warranty. --Ariel Meadow Stallings

  • Simple to use, inexpensive small batch deep fryer.
Color: Black
The Presto fry daddy is a very simple, convenient, easy to use counter top deep fryer. I recently purchased this newer version, but this has been my experience after years of use in my kitchen with the older versions. I don't seem much change in design but maybe some minor improvements... Pros: 1. Easy to use and setup for small batch deep frying. 2. Not hard to clean if you clean within a day of cooking, and you're mindful of the outside of the pot where the electrical components are. 3. Perfect size for one to two people. 4. Presto (fry daddy/fry baby) deep fryers have been around a long time and have proven to be a reliable, popular, and simple to use deep fryer (I've owned a fry daddy and fry granpappy for years myself). 5. The small platform makes it easy to store in your cabinet. 6. I don't get grease splatter all over my range top by using a Dutch oven to deep fry on my stove. Cons: 1. Grease splatter. Not terrible but you will always get some splatter around the unit when frying, especially if you drop foods into the hot grease that have a high moisture content. I use a large aluminum pizza pan under mine to help keep splatter off my countertops while cooking, and clean up soon after the unit has cooled. I haven't myself, but you also may want to try a splatter screen. 2. No temperature control. I spent a lot of time in Tampa Florida in my youth and like to cook Ebor City devil crab rolls, which are basically a relatively thick crab meat croquette with lots of Cuban and Italian spices. I've found these need to be cooked at frying temp of no more than 325F to get the center heated right and the breaded outside browned correctly. Unfortunately, all the Fry Daddy, Fry Baby, Fry Granpappy temps are too high to cook these seafood delicacies correctly. It would be great if I could just turn down the heat down by 50 to 75 F to cook my favorite seafood dish. I even bought a second (less convenient) deep fryer, mainly to cook my beloved crab rolls. Come On Presto! Not Everything Needs to be Cooked at 375 degrees F. 3. 1. Not good for large batches of fried food. Get the Fry Granpappy for large batches. 4. Sides of unit gets hot so don't try to move until relatively cool. Recommendations: 1, Again, this is a very simple and easy to use deep fryer, that can easily accommodate enough food for two adults (maybe even a 3rd or 4th depending on how much fried food you're planning on serving), just don't expect to cook for large gatherings. 2. Put a large pizza pan or your largest cookie sheet under the unit when frying to keep countertop splatter to a minimum. 3.Don't use the deep fryer as a long term storage container for used oil. I recommend straining the oil through a fine mesh sieve after cooking and the oil has cooled enough to handle, then storing in a container in the fridge. Those little bits of burnt breading, etc. will effect the flavor of your used oil after a time. If you are going to fry again within a few days, no problem, but don't just use the deep fryer as and oil storage container. Using some recently used oil again won't have any noticeable effect on the flavor of your fried food as long as you dont let the burnt bits set too long. Also, never fry any "turf" (land) meat or veggies in oil you previously used to fry "surf" (ocean). You can reuse fish grease to fry more seafood, just never fry "turf: with previously used "surf" grease. Should be okay though to fry "surf" with "turf" grease. REGARDLESS, Don't used your Fry Daddy as a Long Term Grease Storage Container. 4. (Can't stress this enough) Please let your deep fryer cool to a safe temperature before trying to move, save the used oil, or clean. Hot oil/grease is VERY DANGEROUS. This is a relatively safe deep fryer but very basic and you still be dealing with a HOT POT OF HIGH TEMPERATURE OIL. Be very careful! Conclusion: Worth the money. No unneeded bells and whistles. Temp control would be great. ... show more

  • Haven't needed temperature control.
Color: Black
I struggled over buying Fry Daddy due to its lack of temperature control. The two things I was really invested in frying, homemade onion rings and corn fritters, both require a higher fry temp (375 degrees) then Fry Daddy, at 350 degrees, is set for. I haven't yet fried anything else but for these two items the lower fry temperature doesn't appear to matter one bit. Fry Daddy makes wonderful rings and fritters - I've made a batch of each every day since I got my fryer and I am in 7th heaven! FD heats up quickly, fries evenly and the included drainer spoon makes it easy to scoop out your food. It is not designed for a big family, but for one or two people. So for me, it's perfect. FD comes with a little booklet that tells you how long to fry other foods, like chicken or fish, so if I ever want to fry those, I expect FD will handle it. I keep my fryer with its oil on the counter - FD comes with a cover you can use when the unit cools down - and just replenish it as I need to. For rings and fritters the oil stays clear and I haven't had to change it. Be aware that the unit gets VERY hot when in use so keep it away from anything plastic - FD will melt it! (spoken by a woman who got her FD too close to the lip of her Keruig coffee maker!) I'm pleased with FD. The price was right for what I wanted to fry and the lack of a temp control has not been an issue so far. ... show more

  • Good for small things
Color: Black
This gets hot and stays hot while frying things. We make multiple batches of stuff and it does a good job. Stays pretty clean also. Outside gets hot, but if your aware, then no harm.

  • This is a great fryer
Color: Black
I really like how well this works. Add oil to the line, heat the oil for 12 minutes, add your items following the instructions. I like making wingettes. I cook the wings for 15 to 17 minutes and they come out perfect every time. And I can use the oil more than once. Perfect for a single person or small batches. Easily fits in the fridge (to preserve the oil for another use) and fits in the cabinet because I don’t have room on the counter in my small kitchen. So glad I bought it. ... show more

  • Tried it out
Color: Black
I'm always a bit intimidated using a new appliance. But in working with my new FryDaddy I found it thankfully straightforward and simple. Turned out fresh onion rings and boneless chicken breast tenders quickly using the easy crispy breading recipe in the direction booklet. I am already moving on to new recipes. My picky-butt husband proclaimed it all a success, as did I, a less than picky-butt, but enjoying my dinner this evening. It was easy cleanup too! ... show more

  • Small fryer but it does the job!
Color: Black
I have had my fryer since 2016 and I absolutely love it. I have fried lots and lots of empanadas along with lots of other foods, such as meats, corn tortilla to make chips, dessert. Oil gets hot pretty quickly. I have no complaints about this fryer. Very durable, I've been using mine for over 8 yrs.
