Pros: easy to use, affordable, simple, fries well

Cons: takes awhile to cool

The Bottom Line: The FryDaddy is a very good, affordable appliance that I would highly recommend.

Review: When I was a kid, my mother used to fry up French fried potatoes in a pot of oil on the stove. Now that I have my own apartment, I hoped to do them myself. I am rather frightened of being burned (ovens, fire, hot oil, etceteras), so when I saw an ad...

Pros: reduced cooking time/cleaner workspace

Cons: cleaning the Daddy itself

Review: My fiance begged and whined for several months about getting this Fry Daddy thing - I never understood why since he burns water. Well, needless to say, my best friend gave it to him for Christmas and I was summoned to cook with it. I learned many...

Pros: Holds a large amount of food, fries fast, nice size for storing

Cons: none

The Bottom Line: Forget the frying pan and get a FryDaddy. It's the right size and it cooks fast.

Review: My husband loves French fries, and being well-aware of this, I got him a Presto FryDaddy for Father's Day (with my Hosiery Corp. of America gift certificates) about 10 years ago. He is still using it with excellent results.

It holds a...

Pros: Makes GREAT fries!

Cons: Not exactly for the healthier eaters! Very dangerous.

The Bottom Line: Very dangerous appliance! Makes terrific, unhealthy food!

Review: Years ago when I moved in with my now husband, his roommate had this thing called a FryDaddy. I had never heard of it, but he used it every night to make fries. It is a smallish metal bucket that holds 4 cups of oil in which it cooks food. There is...

Pros: Turns out wonderful French fries, inexpensive, simple to use

Cons: Limited capacity, messy to operate, unpleasant to clean

Review: The Fry-Daddy was a running joke in our household for so long that by the time I actually purchased one for my husband last Christmas, it was almost anticlimactic. Several friends of ours owned Fry-Daddies (or would that be Frys-Daddy?!) and...

Pros: Easy, fun, and makes great meals

Cons: None I can think of

Review: I absolutely love the Frydaddy. No joke, this is the most amazing tool that I've used or seen in a kitchen in years. You can make anything, and I in fact use it for at least 2 of my 3 meals every day. Have you ever thought of deep fried scrambled or...

Pros: easy to use, don't have to clean after every use, inexpensive

Cons: fattening, must be careful when using

Review: Yes, this appliance is one that you have to watch. Although he's a great addition to your kitchen appliances, he has a hidden agenda to make you fat. I love my FryDaddy, but we have to use him with caution and not too often.

The FryDaddy is...

Pros: Easy to use, warms up fast!

Cons: Makes mess

Review: What can I say? This is an inexpensive, easy to use, good working, nifty little product that every kitchen should have (at least one of the sizes since there are several variations). When I was still living at home and Mom was cooking, she used a...

Pros: Great for a quick meal

Cons: Very hot and can be dangerous

Review: I believe the "Fry Daddy" has to be the greatest invention for the kitchen since the microwave. I have owned mine for 20 years, which speaks right up front for its durability and lifespan. Depending on the size you purchase which varies from "Fry...

Pros: heats fast, small easy storage

Cons: plastic lid cover and no timer
