Other notable innovations include the PrestoBurger hamburger cooker in 1974, the FryBaby electric deep fryer in 1976, the SaladShooter electric slicer/shredder in 1988, and the Pizzazz pizza oven in 2000.

With the right equipment, deep-fried food can be crisp and delicious instead of fat-logged and soggy. This Presto CoolDaddy electric deep fryer includes several features that help you make tasty fried chicken, fish, shrimp, and French fries for up to six people. Its adjustable thermostat ranges from 250 to 375 degrees F, and its bright red indicator light signals when the oil has reached the desired temperature so food cooks no longer than necessary. A viewing window lets you track progress without opening the cover, and an included wire basket with an exterior handle means you can prevent spatters by lowering food into hot oil with the lid down.

Smart in structure, the fryer has a cool-touch exterior and a locking cover with a push-button latch for safety. Its anti-odor charcoal air filter removes without hassle, and the interior cooking pot is nonstick for quick cleanup. The wire interior basket features small holes--good for draining oil off while keeping small pieces in. Measuring approximately 13-1/2 by 10 by 11-1/2 inches, the cooker can be stored with the basket, handle, and cord inside. All parts should be washed by hand, and Presto includes a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

Great quality, safe, and sturdy! LOVE it!
Deep frying might not be the healthiest thing, but boy, if done right, it is soooo good! I usually cook fried parsley tacos - which by the way sounds weird but tastes fantastically. The issue with Parsley is that it holds a lot of water, and when fried, due to that it makes a hot oil mess. I need a safe fryer that allows me to close the lid and then lower the frying tray. That's the only way in which it protects me from burns and avoids a mess. The fryer must also have a good steam release system to avoid another bad experience and even bad burns. Finally, you need to make sure the temperature is always right, since it's just a matter of a few seconds at the right temperature for the perfect frying level. If the oil is colder, your parsley might take longer or be undercooked and chewy. If the oil is hotter, your parsley will turn brown and bitter.This fryer has it all for me - a good steam release system, the ability to lower the pan once the lid is shut, a temperature dial, and a temperature indicator. It is the perfect fryer for me. It is easy to clean, as the oil container can be detached and cleaned / washed outside. The cable is magnetic, so it allows for a safer operation as well.The quality of this fryer is great, it looks good, and it is easy to use. Love it!
