With the right equipment, deep-fried food can be crisp and delicious instead of fat-logged and soggy. This Presto CoolDaddy electric deep fryer includes several features that help you make tasty fried chicken, fish, shrimp, and French fries for up to six people. Its adjustable thermostat ranges from 250 to 375 degrees F, and its bright red indicator light signals when the oil has reached the desired temperature so food cooks no longer than necessary. A viewing window lets you track progress without opening the cover, and an included wire basket with an exterior handle means you can prevent spatters by lowering food into hot oil with the lid down.
Smart in structure, the fryer has a cool-touch exterior and a locking cover with a push-button latch for safety. Its anti-odor charcoal air filter removes without hassle, and the interior cooking pot is nonstick for quick cleanup. The wire interior basket features small holes--good for draining oil off while keeping small pieces in. Measuring approximately 13-1/2 by 10 by 11-1/2 inches, the cooker can be stored with the basket, handle, and cord inside. All parts should be washed by hand, and Presto includes a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It takes about 15 minutes to heat oil to the highest temperature (375 degrees), and once food is added, it can take up to 5 minutes for it to re-attain it. Initially, I was worried about the temperature drop/slow rise; however, the food emerged crisp and not greasy. I like the way the basket is held above the oil by a simple locking mechanism so that I can drain food before I transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
I was worried about the capacity when I chose this because so many reviewers stated that it's too small. If you were cooking large pieces of chicken for a crowd or even a family of five, it would be too small to cook everything at once. You'd have to fry in batches. You might be able to get 3 pieces of chicken in at a time. I'm able to fry four doughnuts at a time. Some things, such as donuts, can and should be cooked without the basket. The basket is about 8" in diameter and 3" high. Since I'm most interested in cooking small items and batches, it is the perfect size for my use.
The only part that can be washed in the dishwasher is the basket. Everything else must either be hand-washed or wiped down. There's a temperature dial in the front, a push button to open the top, and a red indicator light that turns off when the oil has reached the correct temperature. The instruction book is meager, at least in terms of recipes, but it contains critical information. Read it. For example, you don't want your oil overflowing onto your counter because you didn't read how to properly immerse cut potatoes.
This CoolDaddy is the type of appliance that can spend a good deal of its life in a cupboard, but when you need it, you're glad you have it.
-- Debbie Lee Wesselmann
This fryer has it all for me - a good steam release system, the ability to lower the pan once the lid is shut, a temperature dial, and a temperature indicator. It is the perfect fryer for me. It is easy to clean, as the oil container can be detached and cleaned / washed outside. The cable is magnetic, so it allows for a safer operation as well.
The quality of this fryer is great, it looks good, and it is easy to use. Love it!

One was the DeLonghi deep fryer that has a hose to drain it. It sounded like a good idea but actually was a pain. The hose stored on the side and was just a pain to keep it in place. That was the only convenience of the item because the inside cooking vessel isn't removable and it's pretty bulky to try to clean it without the internal elements getting wet.
The other was the type that had a removable cooking vessel but the heating element hung on the outside of it. Not that convenient to store. It seemed to be much smaller too. I see they have a double one but I haven't tried it.
I don't care for the magnetic power cords which this model has. I think the only one that didn't have it was the DeLonghi.
Unfortunately they are not standardized so unless you closely keep track of them it's difficult to find the one that fits.
I find this one much easier to use. I use the Kuchenprofi funnel with removable strainer (ASIN B00008WV52) to strain the oil back into the container. (Great strainer) I strain the oil back into a storage container between uses. Then it's easy to remove the frying chamber and wash it. Everything stores inside of the CoolDaddy. Basket, handle, cord.
I made the best fried chicken, onion rings and fries last night. The chicken kept the Panko bread crumbs on it without a problem and was very easy to monitor how brown they were looking through the pretty large clear window. I didn't think I would have used the window but I really do like it.
I bought mine used in good condition from Amazon warehouse. Everything was there. Only the box had been damaged. I'm not keeping it anyway.
Hope this helps anyone considering purchasing this item. The others I had have now moved out to my kids :)
