Pros: Easy to use, easy to clean & maintain, resists teardrops
Cons: Not as effective as the Hawkin's Futura Pressure Cooker at luring the ladies
Summary: Although it now inhabits some dark recess in one of our closets in the garage, used only once in a great while when the present Mrs. Xeno and daughter Jenna are away for a few days and I find myself jones-ing for some sinful food there was a time back ... read more

Cons: no temp control, no power switch or heat indicator
Summary: I've had an electric Presto FryDaddy Deep Fryer for several years now, having bought it specifically for foods such as french fries, onion rings, cream cheese-stuffed jalapenos, and fried pickles. They're really inexpensive, as far as kitchen ... read more

Pros: Small, compact, no controls, small amount of oil, breakaway cord, cheap, lid
Cons: No controls, no indicator that oil is heated
Summary: Several years ago, we purchased a Waring DF200 Professional Deep Fryer. It is a large unit that holds an entire gallon of oil! However, there came times when we wanted to deep fry either small amounts of food, or food that would in essence "ruin" the ... read more

Cons: Messy, minor burns
Summary: I purchased the Presto FryDaddy Deep fryer last year. I had wanted a deep fryer for years and just hadn't purchased one due to worries about safety issues. So, I did some reading online about different models and decided to give this one a whirl. I ... read more

Pros: Everything I cook is fabulous in the Fry Daddy.
Cons: Not cute. Not that safe. Messy. But worth it.
Summary: After fifteen years of heavy duty use, I may be retiring my Fry Daddy. Then again, I may not. Old faithful is still sitting on the cabinet, and unless I really love my new fryer, I may continue using an appliance that has given service way above the call ... read more

Pros: Good for frying small amounts of food in controlled way.
Cons: Fried foods are not healthy.
Summary: One year I said, it would be nice to have a “FryDaddy” and *poof*, one appeared under my Christmas tree. Be careful what you wish for. I have been trying for 10 years to keep my cholesterol down and in one brief slip of the tongue I ... read more

Pros: Cheap, small, minimalist fryer
Cons: Tendency to overload bowl, soggy food, splatter burns and mess, cannot soak in water
Summary: I bought a Fry Daddy because it was cheap, and I did not think I would deep fry often enough to justify spending more money on a fryer with more features. I also lack counter space, and the Fry Daddy was the perfect size. The one I had did not have a no ... read more

Pros: Small and somewhat portable
Cons: no heat controller, no lid while cooking and it splatters everywhere
Summary: I purchased the fry daddy at a local target for around under 30 dollars, which I thought at the time was a good price for a decent looking deep fryer. I decided I was going to fry my first batch of fries in this new fryer and the results were terrible! ... read more

Pros: Non-stick Interior, Inexpensive, Family Size, Stores Oil with Lid, Slotted Spoon
Cons: None
Summary: Before I bought my Presto FryDaddy Deep Fryer Model #05420, I either baked the french fries, onion rings, shrimp, clams, and tater tots or wasted a whole cooking pot of oil to deep fry. Baking these items just didn?t have that taste of ... read more

Pros: Fries food fast; easy to store grease for future body-harming meals
Cons: Messy; gets hot; health risks
Summary: The Presto FryDaddy sees a lot of use around here. After all, I live in the South where the motto is, "Not sure how to cook it? Fry it! Taste a little bland? Dump Tobasco on it!" I've had such a steady diet of fried food in my 32 years on this earth that ... read more

Pros: Easy to use, easy to clean.
Cons: Plastic lid, no temp. control.
Summary: I've had my PRESTO FRYDADDY 5420 for almost 2 years. In that time it's been used at lest twice a week.
Why did I choose the FRYDADDY 5420? Size of course! Having 3 kids, I have to make lots of french fries on burger night, oodles of fried ... read more

Pros: Easy storage of used oil.
Cons: No temperature control...lots more...
Summary: I didn't want to spend much on an appliance I don't use often. The price was good. It serves its purpose - it fries. I like that I can store used oil inside.
You can't fry much at a time. There's no basket, so removal and draining of food is ... read more

Summary: My husband loves French fries, and being well-aware of this, I got him a Presto FryDaddy for Father's Day (with my Hosiery Corp. of America gift certificates) about 10 years ago. He is still using it with excellent results.

Pros: Love the convenience of storing the oil in the fryer.
Cons: Need a better lid.
Summary: Love the convenience of storing the oil in the fryer. Heats quickly, uses less oil than I would if I used one of my own pots. Easy to *refresh* the oil by frying some potato slices between different meals, ie; fish & chicken. Just discard the potato ... read more

Pros: Makes GREAT fries!
Cons: Not exactly for the healthier eaters! Very dangerous.
Summary: Years ago when I moved in with my now husband, his roommate had this thing called a FryDaddy. I had never heard of it, but he used it every night to make fries. It is a smallish metal bucket that holds 4 cups of oil in which it cooks food. There is still ... read more

Pros: easy to use, affordable, simple, fries well
Cons: takes awhile to cool
Summary: When I was a kid, my mother used to fry up French fried potatoes in a pot of oil on the stove. Now that I have my own apartment, I hoped to do them myself. I am rather frightened of being burned (ovens, fire, hot oil, etceteras), so when I saw an ad on ... read more

Summary: I am a French Fry lover, that's why I bought this deep fryer.
French fries from McDonalds are the best. The kind you have at home usually people bake in the oven. They just don't have the flavor that McDonalds has do they? No, they don't. ... read more
