Questions & Answers

Is it true that this thing is cooked at a certain temperature? How long does it take to bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit?

A candy thermometer shows that my internal temperature is above 400 degrees Fahrenheit when I use it to cook. However, the outside remains raw while the inside is cooked just fine. Furthermore, I used breaded chicken that had been at room temperature for some time.

What are the manufacturing locations for this product?

The same applies to everything else. It appears to have been designed in the U.S. It is a Chinese-made product. Whatever the case may be, There is nothing grander than a little fry pot like this. A lot of information is stored here. heating element is controlled and produces a good-looking final product. It is easy to clean as well. In this household, it deserves to be considered a FIVE STAR hotel. Among the dishes you can order are shrimp, oysters, fish sticks, chicken wings, and donuts. All come out just right. They're great prices and you know how fast Amazon can get you your order.

When this is cooking, how much splatter does it produce?

A SPLATTER SCREEN IS ABSOLUTELY REQUIRED if you intend to use it. SPRAYING OIL WILL IMPACT ITS PERFORMANCE. ADDING SOME WATER TO THE FOOD WILL DEPEND ON HOW MUCH moisture it contains, as well as the speed at which it is added. You also need not follow the instructions for cooking or you will overcook everything. AN EXAMPLE LINE IN THE INSTRUCTIONS IS For shrimp, you need to cook them for 8 minutes. The actual amount of time is about 2 minutes, 10 seconds. It's all about the fries "8-XXXX" SAYS THE BOOK I have 10 minutes till the meeting starts In reality, it takes about four minutes less if it is thin cut. The following list includes fish fillets According to the book, it should take 4 to 8 minutes In reality, the process takes between 3 and 4 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. I suggest that you preheat for only 15 minutes. A part of what the Chinese got right was that. NORTH AMERICA is based on the principle that when something you are cooking floats atop the oil, it is ready. The more you practice, the more you will learn. OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT YOU CAN'T PUT A LARGE AMOUNT IN AT ONCE, IT IS A GREAT FRYER. I would say that you should not get the larger fry Grand Dad, it's a bad idea. The lack of heat does not get the oil hot enough.

Is there any control knob/setting that you can use? Is there a timer or any information on the temperature you need to use this fryer for? When you set the temperature, how do you do it?

It is not possible to control the temperature. A temperature of 350 seems to be maintained fairly consistently by the fryer. The first thing I check is the temperature with my own thermometer.

It was a total disappointment
3/5

The cute design on it made me want to order It's a total disappointment from the point of view of function. You can fry your food in oil instead of buying this product, so there is no reason to buy it. A pot filled with water is on the stovetop. With a deep fryer you need a lid to avoid the kitchen smelling bad, and the fryer has to be able to do the job without making There is a plastic lid attached to the top of this fryer that can be used only when it is cool to cover it when it is being stored. Since it gets very hot inside the fryer, make sure that children are not around it in the kitchen while it's cooking. Likewise, you can't use the lid while the oil is being heated up. The bottom of the fryer gets very hot as well, so make sure to place something under it to prevent it from burning your countertop.

Don't do it! A piece of it melted! For the second time in my life, I own a Fry Daddy
3/5

In the beginning, it lasted for quite a few years and did an excellent As soon as it began leaking from the bottom of the fryer, a new one was installed. The pictures should be able to illustrate how it happened, but essentially, I had a grease splatter screen on top of the fry daddy, and when I went to remove it for the fries to go in the oil, the plastic lip of the fry daddy was melted. Thinking it might just be the lip, I added some fries and realized the plastic lining that protects the oil had actually started melting and was causing clumps of plastic to stick to the fries (see the images below for what the black globs are in between the potatoes). It may be that it is an issue that is isolated to my particular product, but it is unnerving to see a device that is holding boiling oil melt. Fortunately, it did not leak and was able to maintain the oil until it had cooled to room temperature. While I was a big fan of the Fry Daddy, we decided to purchase another model with a steel/ceramic liner after this issue.

It was a pleasure to have the bacon! Thank you! Greetings fellow reviewers, I wish to thank you for all of your help with answering my question about Is what I have good for deep frying bacon? Presto FryDaddy, "Can I deep fry bacon with this?"? It was surprising that no one actually attempted the method based on the responses
5/5

If you are a bacon enthusiast, I am here to tell you that it cooks the best crispy bacon around No matter what! The Presto BaconDaddy would be a great name for this product! Would you mind if I called you It's hard to not use this for baconating, is all I'm trying to say. After putting the slices into the oil, I strongly recommend that you cover the slices with a splatter guard. Canola oil was used and I found slicing the meat in thick slices for a maximum of three pieces at time was the most efficient way. Cutting the meat into thick slices for four pieces could overflow the oil. Indeed, experience has taught me that. Despite all the experimenting, it was enjoyable and tasty! Please note Due to its small size and lack of rack, the bacon comes out like the previous owner's curly-cut bacon The most delicious bacon ever! Unless you are a professional food stylist, make no mistake about it it will still be the best meat
So here you have it, bacon friends, your holy grail of pork In regards to all the questions on whether or not the Presto FryDaddy can be used to cook bacon, the answer is, how can you own one of these and not have tried it? The #bacon #baconlovers hashtag is trending on Twitter right now.

This is a great product! An inexpensive gift that will be appreciated
5/5

This is a fantastic fryer! Because I live alone and am elderly, this is the perfect quick and tasty meal for me. It is ready to fry within seconds, so there is no waiting for it to heat up. Keeping the oil ready to fry without worrying about its temperature is great (it keeps it from getting too hot). This product has enough appeal to me that I have bought several others as gifts, as the price is reasonable and my friends have also enjoyed I would recommend it to you as a nice gift or as a present for someone.

Despite the fact that the recommended times were provided with the documentation, it is accurate
5/5

It has been a long time since I last used one of these. The originals have improved a great deal since then. The product seems to be holding up quite well after a fair amount of use. A remote sensing infrared thermometer I have is incredibly accurate. It always comes up to temperature within five degrees of previous measurements when it comes up to temperature. A considerable quantity of food can be heated up without difficulty using the heating element. It is also accurate to follow the recommended times that come with the documentation. The product is good.

This is a great This fryer has been in my possession for three weeks
5/5

That's what I like about There was some hesitation on my part based on There is, however, an instruction manual with everything written down. Providing you follow all the precautions and recommendations listed, you will be happy with the product. In addition to frying potatoes, shrimps, cheese sticks, and falafel, I use it almost every day. Fry at home is now a whole lot easier than it used to be. My only complaint was that it didn't generate enough steam to set off a fire alarm, which was annoying. The purchase has been a good one for me.

There is a beginning of a peeling of the coating
3/5

It was about a year ago that we bought it. In an average year, I probably use this 10 times or so. Please Like

Please note - The following amount of oil is all you need The fact that we do not have a membership with Costco is a huge benefit - A small space It is easy to store under the sinkbr> It is easy The device involves no buttons it simply plugs Please note - An electric fryer is connected to a magnetic plug The fryer is extremely hot when it is in It doesn't cause any problems to unplug or unplug accidentally because I don't need to touch the fryer to plug it in. Please note - It is good for the price and has a few downsidesbr> Please note - Due to its plastic nature, the lid CAN NOT be used while the fryer is operating Fryers spill oil all over the place. Please note - An all-in-one bucket is used to house the fryer Since the plug part is exposed in the washer, it can be challenging to wash. As there is no lid that can be used while frying, the oil gets all over the place. I do not want the plug part to get wet, yet I do not want the plug part to get wet. Please note - I like this a lot until I noticed that the coating started to peel off after just a year, 10 uses or so.

Overall it is a great product until the coating starts to come off after just a year, 10 uses or so.
