What reviewers say about the Presto FryDaddy Electric Deep Fryer

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.

  • Small capacity (about 3 doughnuts or 2 chicken pieces per batch)

Reviewed lab-tested ·

Max batch capacity (hands-on): 1 lb French fries, or only 3 doughnuts / 2 chicken pieces

The bucket is coated on both sides with a nonstick finish which makes it easy to clean.
There’s no fry basket, temperature setting, ready light, or timer.
As the temperature climbs, the food becomes way too browned and in the case of chicken, which takes a long time to cook, almost burnt.
