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

This fryer works perfectly. We fried breaded chicken tenders and French fried and both came out great. The scooper works as it should. The lid fits snuggly onto the fryer. The magnetic electric cord makes it easy ro connect and disconnect when does. Color of it makes a nice accent to our other small kitchen appliances.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mighty compact deep fryer!
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2024
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
I’m so glad I found this deep fryer!!! We got rid of our deep fryer years ago and we own 2 air fryers. Though we love our air fryers, there are just a few things that we love to eat, and a deep fryer is a MUST! What I love about this deep fryer:
- The absence of exposed heating elements,
-Frying basket that is hard to clean and maintain (though also great to have)
- Compact design and ease of use and storing oil.
Though I had just used it for the first time,
-The quality of the fryer is great! It feels durable and sturdy and will last a long time. It is small but can hold a lot (15 Shanghai egg rolls at a time) and still has plenty of room to stir, fried quickly and evenly. The only thing I wish that it had is a light indicator to let the user know that the fryer is on. But other than that, a perfect small air fryer that one must have in any household! I love it and highly recommend it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Haven't needed temperature control.
Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2024
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
I struggled over buying Fry Daddy due to its lack of temperature control.

The two things I was really invested in frying, homemade onion rings and corn fritters, both require a higher fry temp (375 degrees) then Fry Daddy, at 350 degrees, is set for. I haven't yet fried anything else but for these two items the lower fry temperature doesn't appear to matter one bit.

Fry Daddy makes wonderful rings and fritters - I've made a batch of each every day since I got my fryer and I am in 7th heaven! FD heats up quickly, fries evenly and the included drainer spoon makes it easy to scoop out your food. It is not designed for a big family, but for one or two people. So for me, it's perfect.

FD comes with a little booklet that tells you how long to fry other foods, like chicken or fish, so if I ever want to fry those, I expect FD will handle it.

I keep my fryer with its oil on the counter - FD comes with a cover you can use when the unit cools down - and just replenish it as I need to. For rings and fritters the oil stays clear and I haven't had to change it. Be aware that the unit gets VERY hot when in use so keep it away from anything plastic - FD will melt it! (spoken by a woman who got her FD too close to the lip of her Keruig coffee maker!)

I'm pleased with FD. The price was right for what I wanted to fry and the lack of a temp control has not been an issue so far.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just like my 45 year-old Fry Daddy but with better interior coating

If you've ever owned a Fry Daddy, you know how good they are. My old one made it to Canada in my motorcycle bag! Finally the old teflon coating on the inside of mine wore thru. It still WORKS fine, but is HARD to clean, instead of two minutes. New one has a better lid, weird magnetic plug on the side (takes some getting used to). Same quick heating, excellent temperature control (pre-set automatic), and fries fish fillets or sticks in a couple of minutes FROZEN, so no heating-up the kitchen with the big oven, and with decent cooking oil and draining, the frozen "fried foods' have LESS FAT than in an oven or "air fryer" because the oil the food makers put in the food, cooks out. You can TASTE the difference and my tummy knows the difference. When cooking, I put an 8" wire fry screen (Amazoom-$4) over it to stop "spatter". You can keep the quart of oil with the cover on and put the whole Fry Daddy in the fridge. Three "cooks" and I throw it out (or sooner), put some dish detergent in a quart and a half of water, plug it in 'til the water boils, dump, rinse and wipe with a paper towel, and that's it. REAL scorching HOT CRISP fried potatoes (like drive-ins gave you!), onion rings, without the mess of a frying pan or SLOW "semi-fried" limp oven cooking. If you already have an air-fryer, don't run out and buy a Fry Daddy. But for a fourth the money of the bargain air fryer, the oil can cost less than 50 cents a batch of food (big jugs of "no-name" vegetable oil). BTW, Spring rolls and eggrolls and fried dumplings come out like the $100 Chinese restaurant serves you. You can almost use a Fry Daddy for everything you cook in a Dorm room. too!

I recently tried the Presto 05420 FryDaddy Electric Deep Fryer,Black, and I’m impressed! One of the standout features is its versatility. Not only can it function as a deep fryer, but it also doubles as a frying pan, making it incredibly convenient for various cooking styles.

What I love most is the no-spill, no-mess design. It contains splatter really well, which means less cleanup afterward. Speaking of cleanup, the non-stick surface makes it a breeze to wash—definitely a huge plus in my book!

Where has this been all my life? If you’re looking for a reliable kitchen tool that combines functionality and ease, I highly recommend giving this one a try!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for a small family!

I have been researching mini deep fryers for months. All I wanted was a small, uncomplicated fryer that didn’t require lots of oil and was easy to clean. Then I came across the Fry Daddy - the size looked perfect but it seemed like such a basic unit compared to the other more “fancy” deep fryers. For example the Fry Daddy has no temperature control dial and no wire basket. So I went to the manufacturer’s website and watched their video and learned that the temperature is perfectly controlled. The oil heats up and maintains a steady perfect temperature for deep frying. The reason there is no wire basket is that wire baskets take up area in the unit AND are very messy when removed, oil drips all over the place. That made perfect sense to me. Then I moved onto online reviews starting with America’s Test Kitchen whom I normally trust but they gave it such an awful review that I decided to read some of the comments and so many people who owned the Fry Daddy said otherwise, they were upset that ATK was recommending the fancier brands and not giving the FD credit where credit was due. I agreed, ATK can be very snobbish in their reviews. They also made fun of the plastic spoon that comes with the FD - take it from me - IT WORKS. Sure it will melt if you leave it in boiling oil! But it works just fine to remove cooked food. They also did not consider the mess factor of a wire basket and made derogatory comments about the absence of that. Next, I watched video reviews by “real” everyday people - and the more I watched the more I knew this was the fryer I wanted. The day it arrived I deep fried fresh cod in batter (homemade) and also some large shrimp. I was able to fry 3 thick pieces of fish in one batch and all 8 shrimp at once. I knew the minute I took the fish out to drain on paper towels that the fish was NOT oily! I was thrilled. This proves that the oil IS maintained at the perfect temperature for frying. The fryer uses only 4 cups of oil. You can store the oil in the unit (it comes with a plastic lid - only seal once the oil is completely cooled down) but I didn’t do that because we don’t deep fry that often. So I strained it and poured it into a clean jar to reuse another time. Cleanup was A BREEZE! A gentle wash with dish soap (not submerged of course) and dried with paper towels. The unit is non-stick which makes cleaning even easier. This small unassuming little fryer is perfect for a couple or small family. It takes up very little room and if you’re buying it in the US it is very affordable. I think it is worth every CAD$ I paid for it on Amazon.

My wife has used one of these for over 20 years! She mainly cooks frozen French fries which she first thaws then carefully dries. The temperature control is automatic, factory set and works perfectly. We use peanut oil and when heating she puts in one fry which will float to the surface when hot enough to cook then she adds a premeasured quantity of fries which take about eight minutes to be ready. More convenient than using the oven. Just let the frier cool, cover and store in the 'fridge with the oil in it. The magnetic cord improves safety. This new unit will likely be the last we will need.
