With the recent advances in technology, deep fryers are no further what they used to; with hot-to-touch exteriors and surfaces and the ever-present likelihood of burning your food Las mejores freidoras de aire. There are now many different types of cool touch electric deep fryers available in the market by many different manufacturers. The Presto Cool Daddy deep fryer is one appliance that needs no introduction to numerous users all around the world.

Never having used this kind of model, I had mixed-feelings as I plugged in the appliance the initial time. The manufacturer's advertisements claimed so it was perfect for approximately 6 servings and, true enough, it passed this test with flying colors. Although the initial heating of the oil took more than expected, anything else went smoothly.

The Presto 05444 Cool Daddy deep fryer comes with a 1-year limited warranty and runs on 120 volts AC at 1500 watts, a big enough wattage for serious use. The equipment produces perfectly delicious, crispy and crunchy fried foods - loved by so many - such as for example chicken, shrimp, French Fries and onion rings.

Like all good fryers, the exterior handle allows food to be lowered into the oil and never having to open the lid, i.e. you close the lid with the wire mesh above the oil,, that will be then lowered. This means after the initial loading of food, the lid never need to be opened until it is completed; a good safety device.

The extra large window allows you to see what's going on inside and never having to open the cover. The cover comes with a locking-device to prevent odors and splattering so your house remains safe and odor-free; while fried food does taste delicious it's lingering odors aren't always so welcome. The odors are filtered by way of a charcoal air filter system which can be easily replaced.

The adjustable thermostat allows you to select the specified temperature while the indicator will illuminate when the oil is heated enough for frying.

The final feature for me was the easy cleaning the appliance, with a non-stick pot that's easily taken off the base - it passed with ease. It could be cleaned with hot-soapy water or could even be put in the dishwasher. For me, that's a 'must-have' requirement of any fryer, as cleaning can be a pain in the neck.

I'm happy to report that, even though the Presto Cool Daddy deep fryer took more than I expected for the oil to heat, anything else was just perfect. For me, it certainly is the best cool touch electric deep fryer money can allow you to get - just putting the T-Fal EZ Clean (another appliance I'd recommend) into second place.
