I have just ordered another Fry-Daddy. This will be the third one that I have had over the years. It is lighweight and is just a pot that holds oil as someone said. It is so convenient and not heavy, it makes it easy to store if you do not have countertop room. There are all kinds of deep fryers, but none that does a better job than this one. I would recommend it to anyone.

I used to own a Fry Daddy deep fryer by Presto, but it was a bit too small. This GranPappy is just about right for the limited deep frying that we do. It does not use a lot of cooking oil, and it heats up fast. It's big enough to fry a large chicken breast, although we use it for smaller things. Cleaning is very easy. It does not have a lid to prevent some limited oil spatter during cooking, so I usually put a piece of paper towel over it. It's simple and it works very well. Be warned that this is an inherently dangerous product with potential for serious inury if knocked over. Keep it well out of reach of children

I've had one of these for years. One improvement is the magnetized cord attachment. Otherwise, it's the same good 'ole reliable deep fryer....much more efficient than a skillet wth much less fuss and splatters.

I have had this deep fryer in the past, tried two others since and have kept going back to this one. I like the Grandpappy size because I can fry a lot or little at one time. It frys evenly, even when it gets the flour at the bottom, and it is so easy to clean and use. I have given away my fancy ones for this down to earth "best of the best" fryers. Thank goodness I was able to find it on Amazon after the one I used for a zillion years lost most of its coating and I decided to retire it. It was still cooking even, though, just decided it was time for me to get a new one in case I couldn't find one in the future if it ever gave out!

The GranPappy deep fryer is one of the greatest investments I've ever made. I don't fry often but when I do, this GranPappy has performed wonderfully. My coconut shrimp cooks up quickly and evenly and I don't have to worry about the oil temperature being too hot or not hot enough and the best is no messy clean-up afterwards. I love that I can save and refrigerate my oil afterwards thanks to the handy plastic top that comes with it. I didn't even have to buy a spatula to lift out the hot food because one comes with it. This GranPappy is one item I should have purchased long ago.

It was a Christmas gift, truly enjoyed by my grandson who loves to cook (with supervision). It's easy to store, and able to keep the oil in its container for several uses. Bigger than the GranDaddy so you can cook more at one time. It's great. Have one myself and it has been with us for years.

THis is the family size edition of presto's popular Fry Daddy line of fryers. I have had my own fry daddy for 6 years now, and my grandmother has had hers for over 20. Still the same basic quality fryer. Simple heat and fry. It has no lid or filter to filter the smell and prevent splatterlike some of the fancy models, this is just plain frying. Best rules, If frozen don't just drop the item in fast, and I tend to use this more in the warmer weather, when I can have my windows open. If you have a good Hood above your stove, that can be helpful as well. Otherwise, tasty food quickly, I still love my fry daddy. Its affordable and reliable.

This is an excellent basic fryer, and longstanding excellent track record from a company you can trust. This cooks enough to feed several people, and it does it evenly, and relatively fast. Sure, it's no health food, but it is nice for a change of pace once in a while. Does great with fish, shrimp, french fries, chicken strips, ect... Only down side is that unlike newer units, this does not have a lid that closes while cooking, which would prevent the occasional splash. Great unit, you should like it also.

The grandpappy I purchased was a repeat. I have one and needed two more but was unable to find in the local stores. Thank you Amazon.com. The grandpappy is large enough for a nice batch of french fries and heats up quickly. Clean up is fast and easy.

Have had a great time using this. Only problem is that there is only one temperature, so if you are cooking fried chicken the outside gets burnt before the inside is cooked.
