ou don’t need a 6-gallon oil vat to enjoy deep-fried foods at home–this petite deep fryer makes four big servings with just 4 cups of oil.
This fryer works perfectly. We fried breaded chicken tenders and French fried and both came out great. The scooper works as it should. The lid fits snuggly onto the fryer. The magnetic electric cord makes it easy ro connect and disconnect when does.

I bought this small fryer because I really enjoy French fries and onion rings.They are not the same if you bake them in the oven. This little fryer worked so well everything came out crisp like you would get in a restaurant. I strongly recommend this product. You will be very happy with the results
Russell
Heavy duty little guy! This FryDaddy is perfect for all kinds of deep frying. I have made everything from taco chips to fried chicken wings and more. The best part about this product is the fact that after you use it, and once it cools you put the lid on it and store it away for future use. It is small enough to cook for a family of 5 or so.
