Great for small batches
Great little fryer, I use this to fry chicken, I only make 4 pieces and put 2 in at a time. Obviously if you had a bigger family and needed to make multiple pieces this wouldn't be convenient. Easy to use just plug it in, wait 15 min for oil to heat up. Chicken cooked perfectly each time (leg and wing took 12mins) . Some deep fryers you need so many quarts of oil and when you're frying a small amount it just seems like such a waste so this was perfect for me.

FAST & easy cleanup !
GREAT product! Simple plug in gets HOT FAST !! Cooks and heats evenly ! It does take a L o n g time to cool down ! There is no way to know the temperature unless you use your own thermometer, but for a fast fry = this is perfect ! I loved the simplicity and ease! Cleaned up great with no coil to clean - I loved it ! ! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Consistent Results, Easy Cleanup, and only 4 Cups of Oil Needed!
I was tired of cooking fried food on the stove due to the inconsistent results (I was always paranoid about chicken being cooked all the way through) as well as how much of a mess it makes. As soon as this arrived, I made homemade fresh chicken tenders and they came out absolutely amazing. They were cooked perfectly and consistently through. I cooked three batches of two tenders each back-to-back. I then made frozen waffle fries which came out great as well. I also made fried home-battered Argentine shrimp which were phenomenal. Finally, I made Chicken Katsu (Panko-breaded fried thighs) which cooked perfectly one at a time. The size of this device is perfect for an individual or small family. It’s just a little shorter than an Starbucks Venti cup, for reference. I love that I only need to use 4 cups of oil (I always use out oil). Cleaning is very easy, just like a regular pot, and I used Fry Away to make my oil solidified and biodegradable, so cleanup was even easier. Some users mentioned the spatula of melting. I did not have that issue, I used it throughout the cooking process. Of course you can’t leave it sitting in the boiling oil, but to use it to stir and scoop out items works perfectly well. Overall, really great product due to how well it cooks, how easily it cleans up and how little oil it uses.

It heats up for me quickly, so easy to use. I been wanting to get another one because the one I purchased before in the store was a disappointment and I gave it to my mom. I love this one not expensive. Simple use

En definitiva una herramienta más para tener en la cocina! Su capacidad de aceite es de 1 litro y lo mejor de todo es que si dejas que se caliente bien el aceite, no deja las comidas aceitosas.

I have been researching mini deep fryers for months. All I wanted was a small, uncomplicated fryer that didn’t require lots of oil and was easy to clean. Then I came across the Fry Daddy - the size looked perfect but it seemed like such a basic unit compared to the other more “fancy” deep fryers. For example the Fry Daddy has no temperature control dial and no wire basket. So I went to the manufacturer’s website and watched their video and learned that the temperature is perfectly controlled. The oil heats up and maintains a steady perfect temperature for deep frying. The reason there is no wire basket is that wire baskets take up area in the unit AND are very messy when removed, oil drips all over the place. That made perfect sense to me. Then I moved onto online reviews starting with America’s Test Kitchen whom I normally trust but they gave it such an awful review that I decided to read some of the comments and so many people who owned the Fry Daddy said otherwise, they were upset that ATK was recommending the fancier brands and not giving the FD credit where credit was due. I agreed, ATK can be very snobbish in their reviews. They also made fun of the plastic spoon that comes with the FD - take it from me - IT WORKS. Sure it will melt if you leave it in boiling oil! But it works just fine to remove cooked food. They also did not consider the mess factor of a wire basket and made derogatory comments about the absence of that. Next, I watched video reviews by “real” everyday people - and the more I watched the more I knew this was the fryer I wanted. The day it arrived I deep fried fresh cod in batter (homemade) and also some large shrimp. I was able to fry 3 thick pieces of fish in one batch and all 8 shrimp at once. I knew the minute I took the fish out to drain on paper towels that the fish was NOT oily! I was thrilled. This proves that the oil IS maintained at the perfect temperature for frying. The fryer uses only 4 cups of oil. You can store the oil in the unit (it comes with a plastic lid - only seal once the oil is completely cooled down) but I didn’t do that because we don’t deep fry that often. So I strained it and poured it into a clean jar to reuse another time. Cleanup was A BREEZE! A gentle wash with dish soap (not submerged of course) and dried with paper towels. The unit is non-stick which makes cleaning even easier. This small unassuming little fryer is perfect for a couple or small family. It takes up very little room and if you’re buying it in the US it is very affordable. I think it is worth every CAD$ I paid for it on Amazon.
