Nice features - low priceFeb 28, 2006
By D. Broucek
This is a great little fryer. It cooks enough for 2 servings at a time, do not overload. It has a nice list of features. The basket is very handy, the temperature guage and ready light work well and the lid with vents and a filter help reduce the grease smell in your house. Some foods with a lot of moisture will not fry well with the lid closed and even with the lid closed you will not eliminate the odor completely. I set this up on my stove when I use it so that I'm able to use the exhaust fan as well and then I am able to eliminate all of the smell. It cleans up nicely and I'm able to store the oil in it between uses for weeks.
The previous reviews clearly were not using as this is intended. I suspect they were overfilling with oil/food/both.

 I love a bit of greaseSep 28, 2007
By Review Reviewer
A great gadget. No spills, no over boils, no stink, no mess.
Ensure your food is patted dry...or use a bit less oil if you don't want an over boil of grease coming out of the top.
It also says, to prevent food gunk sticking to pan..like hand batter fish don't use the basket. I just put the basket down into the grease and drop the fish in. Didn't stick.
Easy to clean. Lid lifts off, and it has a small catch for when you open the lid in the back of the unit.
I think it was easy to clean. Lid comes off, filter pops out, bowl lifts out and the bowl is immersable. Little hot water and Dawn and like new...
It took about 51 ounces of oil.
Order extra filters, it only comes with one.

 great little fryerSep 04, 2007
By S. Flynn

This fryer is way better than the one I bought a few years ago [the fry baby]. The only word of caution I want to share with folks is to really remove the ice crystals from food before putting in the fryer. The ice crystals make the oil boil up too much and will cause leakage. I had this happen the first time I fried, and since then I rinse the chicken wings under cool water and shake em off before putting them in the basket.
If anyone is wondering, it takes a bottle and a half of cooking oil to get to the "max fill line", which is where they recommend it to be.
The cooking/draining basket is probably the best feature of the product because you can let the oil drain off before putting the food on paper towels. I've noticed a lot less grease on my paper towels after letting the food drain for a couple of minutes.

 Great safety features but leaves foods drenched in oilJul 15, 2009
By KiKi
First I should say this was a replacement for a Waring Pro deep fryer, which I loved. Although I hated the clean up part so figured I'd try something new.
What I liked about the Presto Cool Daddy:
Cool touch outside..while it isn't exactly cool it wasn't scolding hot either.
No mess frying. The locking lid and handle (lowering/raising basket) both work great and do prevent any accidental splatters of oil.
Clean up is a breeze.
My big complaint is the oil does not stay hot once you put the food in and it takes it awhile to get back up to the correct temperature, which leaves you with foods soaked in oil as an end result.
I tried different oils (peanut and vegetable). I did the double fry method for the fries, but the same result--fries soaked with oil.
The quality is OK. About what I expected considering it is almost all plastic.
I will be returning the Presto Cool Daddy and purchasing another Waring Pro as it did an awesome job of retaining the temperature to get perfect fries..and other foods. The Cool Daddy just doesn't give foods the crispness I prefer when frying foods.

satisfied customerSep 03, 2010
By Nana 1
I used this for the first time today for frying okra. It was easy to use and the okra came out perfect. Somebody had said that their breaded veggies stuck to the basket. Mine didn't stick at all. I just put the basket down in the grease while it was pre-heating, then raised it long enough to fill it. It was easy to clean and when I strained the grease and put it back in the fryer, I got almost the same amount that I originally filled it with. No splattered grease on the counter, no greasy fried food. I'm sold!
