Product Description
Product Description
Fries 4 generous servings with just 4 cups of oil. Perfect frying temperature is maintained automatically. Scoop separates, stirs, lifts, drains and serves for no messy basket to clean. Snap-on lid stores oil for reuse without spills or odor. Heavy cast aluminum body. Non-stick surface inside and out for easy cleaning. 120 Volts AC, 1200 watts. U.L. Listed.
Amazon.com
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

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.
Introduce my best friend, who told me about the FryDaddy by phone one day when he told me it was the quickest and easiest way to make a batch of french fries that exists. While we were on the phone, he had made some fries, ate them and was finished. Of course, I was curious about the "FryDaddy" since I had never heard of one at that point. I did some research and decided to buy one several months later.
In the interim, I had done all my frying in my cast-iron skillet, with less that desirable results. If you use your skillet regularly, you have to find some way to store or save your grease. In my case, I left it on the stove, taking up space and probably the most UNhealthy solution to the problem you can imagine. Plus, when it's time to clean, it's cumbersome, at best.
So I purchased the FryDaddy. First off, it's compact and neat. It comes with a spatula as pictured, perfect for scooping fries. (I use tongs for chicken), and you can keep the grease IN the cooker with the convenient plastic lid that you can place on the FryDaddy once it cools down. As far as quality, you put grease in to the fill line. Period. No measuring, no guessing. No need to select a temperature. Once you plug it in, it heats for about 10 minutes and you're ready to drop whatever you're cooking. All you have to do is keep an eye on what you're frying. Once you've done it a few times, you know about how long it takes to get great results. I haven't gotten more perfect results on french fries, chicken and fish than with my FryDaddy.
Another great point, if you haven't guessed already, is the ease of keeping and storing your grease. Simply put the convenient plastic top on the FryDaddy and slide it to any corner of your kitchen counter, or cabinet and you'll be ready for your next frying adventure.
As for CLEANING, I haven't found anything easier to clean than my FryDaddy and that includes my George Foreman grill.. Simply pour your used grease in a safe container, then use some good dish detergent and wash it like you do your regular frying pan. The non-stick surface makes it SUPER easy to clean, dry and ready to go!
LOVE IT! 5-stars!
