Overview
Lowering food into hot oil with the lid still closed is what the exterior-handle wire basket is for. A locking cover contains spatter, a removable air filter absorbs odor, and the plastic body houses a removable nonstick pot.
Spatter control, odor filtering and a window onto the food hold the mess down on a busy counter. The limits are the plastic body and the modest serving count.
Who it's for
Cooks who fry for up to six people and want to adjust the heat will like the thermostat and window. Those who fry big batches, or whole birds, need a bigger unit.
Pros and cons
- Lowers food with lid closed
- Indicator light for ready oil
- Removable nonstick pot
- Odor-absorbing air filter
- Six servings caps batch size
- Dishwasher suitability not listed
Performance notes
Closing the lid and lowering the basket by its exterior handle contains spatter and cuts odor, while the removable air filter absorbs what escapes. The thermostat sets the oil across a stated range of temperatures, and the indicator light shows when it is ready, so food does not cook longer than needed. The window lets you watch without opening the cover.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Presto CoolDaddy fit large pieces of chicken?
The listing describes chicken, shrimp and french fries for up to six servings in a six-cup fryer, but it gives no maximum piece size.
Can the Presto CoolDaddy be used with the lid open?
The design is built around frying with the cover closed: the basket's exterior handle lowers food into the oil with the lid down to prevent spatter.
