Our take on the Presto Fry Daddy

The Presto Fry Daddy is a compact 4-pound deep fryer with a fixed 1200-watt element and a simple on/off control. It heats oil fast and holds temperature well enough for fries, chicken and fish, and the cool-touch base and non-slip feet make it steady on a counter. It has no thermostat dial, timer or basket, so you cannot set a precise temperature or lift food clear of the oil. It suits small households that want quick, occasional frying and have little counter or cabinet space; anyone who fries often or wants temperature control should look at a larger fryer with a dial and basket.

What reviewers say

  • 4.6 / 51,419 ratings

Owners like how fast the Fry Daddy heats and how little space it takes. Many say it turns out crisp fries and chicken reliably. The common complaints are the lack of a temperature dial, no basket, and small batches.

What people mention
  • Heat-up speedPraisedOwners say the oil reaches frying temperature quickly.
  • Temperature controlCriticisedReviewers miss a thermostat dial for setting lower temperatures.
  • SizeMixedThe small footprint is liked, but the 4-pound capacity means small batches.
  • BasketCriticisedBuyers note there is no basket, so food goes in and comes out with tongs.
  • CleaningMixedThe nonstick pot wipes clean, but used oil has to be drained and stored.

Questions and answers

Does the Presto Fry Daddy have a temperature control?
No. It has a simple on/off switch and heats oil to a fixed high temperature, up to 375°F. You cannot dial in a lower setting for delicate foods.
How much food can it fry at once?
It holds 4 pounds of oil, which suits a batch of fries or a few pieces of chicken. Larger batches cool the oil and fry unevenly, so cook in rounds.
Is a frying basket included?
No basket or lid comes with it. You lower food in with tongs or a slotted spoon and cover the pot yourself if needed.
How do you clean it?
Let the oil cool completely, drain it, and wipe the nonstick pot with a damp cloth. The base and cord are not dishwasher safe.
Is it good for a family?
For two to four people having fries or chicken now and then, yes. A family that fries often will want a larger fryer with a thermostat and basket.

At Blain's Farm & Fleet, for $44.99, 18% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
