This is a great fryer for its size. Only 4 cups of oil, heats quickly. I have made yam fries, tempura shrimp/scallops and fried wontons. All were delicious and very crisp. Clean-up is a little annoying because you cannot remove the oil container from the unit. This is pretty much exactly the same as the FryDaddy with the addition of adjustible thermostat and fry basket and cover to keep oil from spattering when frying.

This review is from: Presto 05471 1000-Watt 1-Liter Stainless-Steel Electric Deep Fryer (Kitchen)

Previous owner of Fry Daddy (until it died) surprisingly pleased with the performance of this model
for thirty or so bucks getting the looks/performance of a professional fryer love the metal aspects of this fryer
seems like it will be easy to clean.


PROS
Aluminum interior conducts heat nicely compared to the insulating quality of the nonstick Fry Daddy interior, frys vigorously
Looks nice stainless exterior handsome professional quality
Solid construction, stable on the countertop


CONS
none yet

3.0 out of 5 stars Works great but hard to clean, November 29, 2010

This review is from: Presto 05471 1000-Watt 1-Liter Stainless-Steel Electric Deep Fryer (Kitchen)

This is my first home deep fryer. I really do like it. I use it maybe a few times a week on average, making my own onion rings, french fries, jalapeno poppers, wontons, ect. I live alone in a tiny apartment with little kitchen space so its small size is perfect for storing and making a serving or two of items if I have a guest over.

The only thing I don't like about this machine is how hard it is to clean. Without soaking (not submerging, just filling it up with hot water and soap) it's absolutely impossible to get all the grime off the inside and even with soaking I can't get everything clean. This was great for a first machine but it will be replaced soon with something easier to clean. After six months of use I can barely stand to look at it. It desperately needs a good cleaning that I can't give it without dunking the whole thing in water.

The temperature settings were great for a first time cooker as well, though now that I'm a little experienced I'm wishing I had a wider range to play with.

Overall this cooker has met my expectations; it looks great and is easy to store. It also has appropriate safety features. Because of how difficult it is to clean I will be replacing it shortly.
