Plug the Presto Fry Daddy into an outlet on your kitchen counter.
Fill the Fry Daddy about 3/4 of the way full, depending on the amount of ingredients you wish to cook. For example, a 2-pound pot roast in addition to 2 cups of chopped onions and carrots only requires 2 qt. water.
Add your ingredients after the desired amount of water is added to the Fry Daddy.
Cover the Fry Daddy and adjust the temperature setting to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. If your Fry Daddy doesn't have numbers on its dial, adjust it to be in the middle between the high setting and off.
Stir your ingredients frequently to avoid scorching, and lower the Fry Daddy temperature as needed to cook the food properly. This allows you to use the Fry Daddy as a crock pot or slow cooker instead of a deep fryer.
