Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Presto Professional CoolDaddy Electric Deep Fryer
Customer Review: No Timer
Summary: 4 Stars
I ordered this fryer to replace our old Rival fryer. I was drawn to the removeable bowl feature for ease of cleaning. We used it and it works great and is visually appealing, plus all the features are great. My only complaint is there is no timer and no way to shut the machine on and off, it just comes on when you plug it in and shuts off when you unplug it. It's not that big of a deal but on our previous fryer you could set the timer to however long you needed to fry your food, and it would ding and shut off when the time was up. That's the one feature I'll miss with this CoolDaddy and therefore gave it only four stars. Customer Review: No Timer

Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Customer Review: great little fryer
Summary: 3 Stars
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.Customer Review: A Great Fryer
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this fryer. Except for the amount of oil which is necessary, which has nothing to do with the fryer's ability itself, this machine works flawlessly. I've made French fries, fried zucchini, and fried ravioli so far. My only "problem" is that the basket doesn't seem to want to cooperate and sit up, out of the oil, during the process, as if the button used to rest on isn't released. Something I don't want to mess with while hot oil is splattering, and it also doesn't matter to me. I've had no other problems. There is some steam that escapes but nothing I'd need an exhaust or even a window open for. Great machine, I highly recommend it.
