Editorial Review:
Presto Fry Daddy Deep Fryer - Make delicious fries, chicken, onion rings and more! This family-sized fryer makes four big servings with just four cups of oil. The proper frying temperature is automatically maintained. Handy scoop stirs, separates, lifts, drains, and serves.
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 Value:
I wanted an inexpensive but functional deep fryer and this is exactly what it is. It's a big improvement from deep frying in a cooking pan, I don't have to worry about over heating the oil anymore but my house still stinks after deep frying. If that is a concern for you, then you better get one with filters. I also love the snap-on lid which allows me to conveniently store oil. I just wish there is an indicator light to tell when the oil is hot enough.
Fry Daddy is dangerous the oil splatters everywhere!!!:
Recently bought the Fry Daddy and the oil was too hot because there is no temperature control. The oil splattered everywhere!!! I literally had to hold up a pot cover as a shield as my sister dropped in the food. Also the little spatula it came with is useless.
Happy Customer:
I threw away an expensive deep fryer that I got at Bed, Bath and Beyond because it was junk! The lid wouldn't stay closed, it took a ton of oil, and it was messy. I decided to try this machine because I have always been happy with Presto products, and I have found that expensive is not always better. I really love this little guy - it's small, easy to store, clean in operation, and works like a charm. What else could I want? My other deep fryer did not get hot enough to make those chinese shrimp crackers -... more info
functional but...:
...I still recommend a fryer with adjustable settings to avoid overcooking, a wire basket that is convenient. Other products with lower price has the above additonal features.
