Only one whitelisted source hands-on covered this exact 4-cup Presto Fry Daddy: Reviewed's Sharon Franke, a former professional chef. She finds it easy to use, space-saving, and easy to clean thanks to its dual-sided nonstick bucket, but flags the total absence of temperature control (the oil keeps climbing and can over-brown or nearly burn chicken) and its tiny capacity. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Nonstick coating inside and out makes cleanup easy; Simple and space-saving, with an included lid to store oil in the unit.
Flagged: No temperature control, ready light, or timer; oil keeps climbing and can over-brown or nearly burn food; Small capacity (about 3 doughnuts or 2 chicken pieces per batch).
