Presto Deep Fryer - FryDaddy 05420 Review Summary

The Presto Fry Daddy has been a popular home deep fryer for years now. It’s not a fancy fryer. Very basic. Plug it in. Fry. Consumers say the Fry Daddy does a good job especially on French fries. The small size makes it an attractive home fryer, but it does not have the extra safety features of some of the bigger and more expensive fryer models on the market. If you’ve looking for an inexpensive deep fryer for occasional use, reviewers say this one may be just right. Check out other home fryer reviews if you’re looking for a fancier fryer.

I had this perfectly wonderful Fry Daddy. Then I got it in my head to buy the Cool Daddy and have a lid and live happily ever after. This was a fairy tale. I was the wolf and got cooked in the fry pot - for sure.

My Granny bought me a Fry Daddy long ago. She also taught me how to make killer French fries...

Works and is a great brand, but this model doesn't hold much, lid is flimsy, gets dirty fast, and is messy to use.  This might be a good product for a college student, but if you want to fry stuff spring for the Presto FryDaddy in a bigger size.

Baked foods are great for those who want to cut back on fat and calorie intake. With the absence of oil, the oven provides a safe haven for those who wish to eat food in its most unadulterated state, free from the bogeymen known as calories and fat that frying and other forms of food preparation can add to your favorite meal.

But sometimes, the taste of fried food hits the spot, even if it does tack on some guilt to the eating process. And one electric device that helps make frying simple is the Presto Fry Daddy, an easy to use appliance for deep frying your food.

The Presto Deep Fryer FryDaddy 05420 is another handy kitchen appliance especially for people in the deep south who like their foods deep fried. This Deep Fryer is great to fry things such as french fries, shrimp or even chicken. It is also great for making homemade onion rings.

It makes cooking easy and fun and it is even better when you are done because there is less cleanup afterwards.

You can use the oil several times after you fry something. It has a temperature control where you can set the grease at what temperature you think is best for frying.

It has a plastic lid for it to use when storing...

    Presto Fry Daddy Dep Fryer is very handy and simple to use for one or two people. I had one and used it for several years. I finally gave it away to another person and upgraded to a larger  flash fryer and have had to replace it already. If you want a reasonable priced deep fryer then buy the Presto Fry Daddy Deep Fryer. The most in-expensive deep fryer to buy and use.

    I bought my Presto Fry Daddy Deep Fryer at a lower price than the price advertised now, which is very unusual. This deep fryer is great for families that are watching their budget and worth the cost to use for a...

I received the Presto FryDaddy Deep Fryer as a Christmas gift.  I have been very pleased with the results.  Everything comes out very crispy, yummy.  The slotted spoon/spatula that they provide with the device is great to use to pick fries or chicken nuggets, or whatever you cook out of the oil, and the slots let the excess oil drain off before you put it on a platter.  All you have to do to turn it on is plug it in, and you are ready to go.  The fryer gets nice and hot, fairly quickly.  The exterior does get extremely hot, so make sure to keep it out of the reach of children.  It also takes... review »

This small counter top fryer is definitely for the budget conscious. 

Drawbacks- 

 It does not come with a basket for adding or removing food from the hot oil.  Likewise, the FryDaddy is not a "cool" device. The sides will burn if touched during cooking, so please exercise caution.  The FryDaddy lacks a lid, so expect some oil to escape while cooking.

 Pros:  It does as intended. Fries food quickly and easily.  Great little fryer for college students or for those who would use a fryer infrequently.  Easy to clean.  Snap on lid makes for easy storage.

I have one of these and use it all the time. We fry everything from fish sticks to chicken nuggets for my grandson in a flash. It 's really handy that the oil stays in the kettle so that you don't have to try to cool it and pour it into a  container to save. Fish sticks come out crispier faster than in the oven. We use our Fry Daddy at least once a week. We bread and fry our own vegetables from the garden. Okra and zucchini are great done in this little kettle. This is one of the best Christmas gifts Santa ever put under my tree!!!

My husband and I loved using the Presto FryDaddy from the start.  It is very simple to use and operate.  We love making fries, onion rings and fried chicken, etc.  but as our kids got older, we found the capacity too small.  We needed to have dinner ready sooner so that everyone could eat at about the same time so we graduated to the Presto GranPappy which is pretty much the same thing but larger.  The FryDaddy is great for singles, couples or for those who don't have much to cook.

I bought and used my FryDaddy to make french fries.  It is great for french fries and precooked foods (chicken nuggets, fish sticks etc).  However, I tried to fry chicken in it last night and was very disappointed.  The oild popped everywhere and the chicken burned on the outside and was still uncooked on the inside.  This item is perfect for quick fry foods, but not much else.

The size is great...doesn't take up too much room but it does get way too hot if you are cooking anything that takes longer than fries. The cord got real hot too. I threw mine away...wouldn't even give it away and be responsible for some one else getting burned! I spent a little more and bought a real nice one loaded with safety features. This one has NONE!

Excellent Product.  Heats up fast.  Grease does not harden after use.  Clean.  I really like using it and my children can even cook with it.  It's small and doesn't take up too much room.  It does take a little longer to cool down after use.  That would be a negative.  But, otherwise, I really like it.

This fry daddy is great. It is perfect for all my frying needs. I love especially to use it to cook fries. I grew up with one in my home. When I moved out I realized I just had to have one of my own! Little did I know, the product has a very economical price tag, which fit with my poor college student budget.
