Description

Make delicious deep fried foods fast and easy—crispy french fries, onion rings, chicken, shrimp and more. FryDaddy® electric deep fryer maintains the ideal frying temperature automatically with no controls to set. With an efficient 4:4 oil-to-food ratio, fry four servings of french fries in just four cups of oil, and enjoy the added benefits of quick preheat time and fast oil temperature recovery. The heat resistant lift-and-drain scoop also serves foods after frying. Cleanup is easy with the PFAS-free ceramic nonstick surfaces inside and out. If desired, the snap-on lid secures oil for reuse without spills or odor. The convenient swing-up handle makes FryDaddy® easy to carry and store. You don't need a 6-gallon oil vat to enjoy deep-fried foods at home--this petite deep fryer makes four big servings with just 4 cups of oil. 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

  • Great for small batches
Color: Green/Gold
Great little fryer, I use this to fry chicken, I only make 4 pieces and put 2 in at a time. Obviously if you had a bigger family and needed to make multiple pieces this wouldn't be convenient. Easy to use just plug it in, wait 15 min for oil to heat up. Chicken cooked perfectly each time (leg and wing took 12mins) . Some deep fryers you need so many quarts of oil and when you're frying a small amount it just seems like such a waste so this was perfect for me. ... show more

  • 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

  • Works well, but 26” electrical cord & cannot use an extension cord
Color: Black
The “Presto 05420 FryDaddy Electric Deep Fryer,Black” works well and keeps the temperature of the oil consistent, provided you don’t overload the fryer, of course. Like many of today’s products, the included electrical cords are extremely short. The instructions provide this warning “DO NOT USE WITH AN EXTENSION CORD.”, so make sure you will use this product right next to the outlet. ... show more

  • Good for 2 adults
Color: Green/Gold
This is very easy to use. We take it camping with us. The oil seems to stay hot even when frozen potatoes are added. It cooks in a reasonable amount of time. It does not leak. The cord is barely long enough….so it has to sit closer to the outlet than I like. Washes up easily. The size is good for 2 adults only. I wish it were about twice the size. ... show more

  • This is a good product
Color: Green/Gold
This is my second FryDaddy, the first one I had for many years. I do really love this product for many reasons. It heats up quickly, fries food for one or more people, and has a convenient snap on lid if you want to reuse the oil. The round design & handle both work well. Presto is a very reliable brand. Just a few things when using it, one, it does get very hot, so use the handle to move it. Also, don’t add oil beyond the fill line inside. I do recommend this item and would purchase it again. ... show more
