I am looking for a Fry Daddy with two things.
One is an autoshut off timer and the other is dishwasher safe.

Anyone know of one?

Thank you for your time

I have never seen a Fry Daddy (the brand name) with either of those
features. You plug the Fry Daddy in and it heats -- you unplug it and it
stops. It is a simple container with the electrics built into the base and
therefore cannot be submerged in water. You need some other brand snack
fryer. However, most of the small sized ones within the Fry Daddy price
range operate exactly the same as the Fry Daddy. To get a removable fry
container and auto features you are going to have to spend around $60 or
more.

There's been an appliance mentioned here a couple of times before, I can't
recall the brand. It's actually a multi-purpose appliance with deep frying
as one of the things it does. I can't remember who makes it, dammit! I
don't know about auto shut-off but you do have to turn it on and off (rather
than simply plug it and unplug it) and you can control the temperature,
unlike a Fry Daddy. Anyone remember the cooker thing I'm thinking of?

It may be the one I've posted about a couple of times - a Deni
Multi-Fryer. It slow cooks, boils, deep fries, bakes and fries. I've
had one for about 2 years and it does a nice job at everything, *but*
it has an *8* quart capacity (3 quart oil capacity), so it's not for
small jobs. It's programmable for most features, but other than the
submersible components such as the fry basket, nothing else is
dishwasher safe.

http://www.deni.com/multi_9200.asp

My only complaint was that the plastic handle for the fry basket
separated after only a few uses. OTOH, one telephone call to customer
service got a replacement sent out pronto.

And Deni makes a little 1.25 qt. fryer that I also bought b/c I liked
its big brother:

Could be some kinda/sorta snooze-alarm feature?

Last thing I deep fried was fish'n'chips. Didn't turn out that bad.

I'd much more approve of having biscuits and sausage gravy in bed, instead!

Then we dance!

Same reason there's an auto shut off on and iron, so if you forget
to turn it off it doesn't wind up burning your house down.

There is? How does it know? A "standing still sensor"? You're gonna make me
go and try it!!?

All I do is iron and yank the plug. You don't need to pay attention to deep
frying as much as ironing. Ironing is more of a hands-on thing, imho.

I don't know how old your iron is, or if they all have that
feature. If you rarely iron, you probably don't know how
easy it is to walk away and forget it's on, especially when
you're rushing around getting ready for work.

I only iron what I need to wear that needs ironing. Steam is a wonderful
invention! Going naked is more convenient. <grin> For you, I'll suit and

By this I meant I had some idea that the feature became
mandatory at some point. I have no idea if that's true
and I'm too lazy to look.

Exactly what was the purpose of this post?

You know nothing about the product, you've never seen one, much less used
one. But you heard about it. But you can't remember anything about it.

All nice and such, but on a first date we'll dance on the sand in Ocean
City, NJ. Dining on pizza and root beer and fill any fillings eating salt
water taffy, strolling arm in arm down the boardwalk for dessert at sunset.

What exactly is the purpose of you pretending to be me in a multitude of
posts, asshole? Fact is, l not -l did remember the cooker I was referring
to. IIRC it came highly recommended in discussions past. So the purpose of
my post was to *try* to point the OP in the direction of a deep fryer with
more functionality than the Fry Daddy, which has no temperature setting
capability much less an auto shutoff feature. Yu're a loser as well as a
poser and it's apparent you have waaaay too much time on your hands.

Yep - Jill M, the poseur, is a total loser.

I vaguely remember when some crock pots doubled as a deep fry. Maybe
someone who has actually used a multi-function crockpot can
corroborate. In the mean time, look up "Rival Chef's Pot".

Yooo Hooo.... DeeDee where *are* you???? You're the rfc gadget person

About eight years after graduating from college, I returned for another
degree. I had a couple-three months to kill before starting in January,
so I went to work doing Christmas sales at J.C.Penney. I worked next to
the housewares department, and one day while I was covering for the gal
that was working there, so she could take a break, I was approached by a
woman who asked, "Do you have Fry Babies?" I answered, "Sure...what
size is your baby?" Deer-in-the-headlights look! But at least *I* got
kick out of me.

You remind me of my father. A grocery clerk asked him if he needed
help with his bag. He said "no, she can walk", and tipped a thumb at
my stepmother. Now, he *is* a smartass but a very sweet guy and he was
just kidding. But the clerk looked like he expected my stepmother to
beat Dad with a stick.

I worked as an electrician in a hospital. We get authorization before
working anywhere in the hospital, but we still run into the nurses on
the floors that have to know what we are doing there.

They usually come up and say........may I help you?

Sure! Grab that ladder and come on.

Another working at the hospital war story.

We were getting on the elevator in the parking lot to head home.
A man and woman walked on.

Man: I think it is 3
Woman: No it is 4.

I said to the man...She sounds pretty sure.
He said........she is probably right. She knows everything else.

Hmmmmmmm. Read the full review from this user, about deep frying with it:

http://www.epinions.com/review/Prest...nt_53607042692

I wonder if it's just a Lawyer Thing, with Presto instructed to say all
that (and keep "deep frying" off the features list) so they can't be sued
if you burn yourself with hot oil.

Eh. Probably. It's the same product, though, so caveat emptor and
all. (Personally, I deep-fry so seldom that it's not a huge issue,
but I wouldn't hesitate to use this product to do it. I don't see
why hot sides are an issue -- my stovetop pans get hot when I
deep-fry in them, too. I mean, *duh*, right?

Most of the Lawyer Things we see today really do boil down to "duh". I'm
sure it's not true, but the old story about the ceiling fan that came with
the safety tip "Do Not Throw Baby Into Fan" is funny/sad because it's
not *that* far from being a real Lawyer Thing.

I have the Presto Multi-cooker. I bought it a few months ago. The
booklet gives instructions and safety tips for deep frying.

Is it the same model number (they may have more than one that give the

Looks like the 6003 is the one that doesn't fry. If I read the review
right they are talking about the 6000
