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.

Is it grand theft if you take back your fryer you gave away?

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.

Cook Tasty Food in Half the Time

Practical Cook

JUN

2007

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.

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... read full review »

Only good for foods that can cook fast

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.

This is not safe

dumb enough to buy improved fryer

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!

Awesome!

not very handy

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.

I love being able to cook fries and popcorn chicken in my fry daddy. The food tastes better than when I cook it in the oven. Kids love it and my 14 yr old can use it by herself to help me on the nights that I have class

this is a great product for the single man cause most men can't cook many things but this product helps out cause all you have to do is put some oil in it and plug it up and fry fry fry which most men like fried food any way

I've had a Presto Deep Fryer forever--- best for fried chicken!

The only issue is the draining of the oil after every use--very tedious.
