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.

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.
Pattern Name: Fryer
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 great!
Pattern Name: Fryer
I was a little leary about buying a used fryer, but I thought I would give it try. This fryer works great! It doesn’t look new, but it does the job. It fry’s up food, nice and crispy. Better than the new basket fryer I had bought a few years ago.

It’s a decent size and great for small meals. I cooked gizzards in it for two. The temperature sets itself and cooks the food properly.

  • Good for small things
Pattern Name: Fryer
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.

  • Frying made Easy!
Pattern Name: Fryer
Nice little unit for frying. Made wings and fries instead of ordering out for lunch. It fit about 10 wings at a time. Perfectly cooked in about 15 mins. I’m an avid deep fryer and regularly make fried chicken in my cast iron pans. This is so easy even a teen could fry something in here. I made half a bag of fries in about 4 mins. It’s the perfect little fryer for lunches or frozen foods that are fryer to cook. Cleanup was super easy, I used one of the metal cups with a screen to clean the drippings out of the oil and just put it back in the fryer and closed the lid. I wiped the unit before returning the oil. Nothing was sticking with was nice. If your looking for a small fryer perfect for lunches etc this is your fryer! It wont disappoint. Also one last nice thing is not worrying about temperature as there’s no choice. It worked great though for a variety of foods though. Glad I bought this little unit. ... show more

  • Runs a little hot (425F) but otherwise excellent and saves money!
Pattern Name: Fryer
The temp should be 375-400F, so this unit runs a little hot... but not unusably so. Saves money by using 1qt / 1l of oil at a time. Efficient energy use since the heating element is as close to the oil as you can get without it being an immersion system, which would be harder to clean. I know this item is super-popular but never thought to get one until recently. I suspect this will become my best bang-for-the-buck purchase this year. The only concern is oil potentially dripping into the lower base, which may be difficult to clean later. ... show more

I bought this to make my own chips from tortilla shells because I’m on keto. It works really well. It works really well on anything you want fry but that’s just what I bought it for. It’s a very nice product to use.

  • couldnt be easier to cook great fried foods
Pattern Name: Fryer
I have owned this model of fryer for quite some time. I use it especially for chicken wings. It will easily cook 6-8 segments in about 10 minutes... so it's great for one or two people... or more if you keep the batches warm in an oven while the rest is cooked. It is a simple fryer... no temperature to set, small enough to not feel like you are wasting oil. It maintains heat very well. I'd recommend heating it for about 10 minutes before starting cooking to be sure the oil is up to temperature since it has no light to tell you. It's perfect for a small household or if you only want a modest portion. There are bigger models on the market but this works best for me and takes up less cabinet space. ... show more
