I use to use one several years back, and loved it. Mine had a basket which made it easier to use. When the frying sounds starts slowing down just lift the basket out Causion, the basket has holes in it so when you take basket out have pan ready to place meat on. ----- Original Message ----- From: Christopher Thomas To: tabi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, January 18, 2010 10:20 AM Subject: [tabi] Fry daddy Hello, everyone: Hope you're having a wonderful MLK, Jr. day. I was wondering if any of you have used or use one of those Fry daddy fryers from Presto? I was sent one for christmas because my friend thought it would be a safer way to fry than on the stove. I know when it's hot you can't touch it except to pull out whatever food is being cooked. I think I should probably use a pair of tongs and oven mitt to use it safely. Any suggestions?

Robert's right, it has a clock, and it has some alarm features like announcing the time and temp every hour, but you need sight to set all that up.

Very easy to set up without vision and has a 10-foot probe which makes it easy to find a good place for it. It has a built in stand but comes with screws to mount it on the wall which is probably what I will do.

Instead of just doing a Google search or checking with the various companies who sell accessible products I thought some on the list might be able to offer me suggestions of units they've had success with or know about personally. I'd appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks! Hoping One Day to Defrost, Scott ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
