In the homespun days, food was usually fried in a big cast-iron metal pot. But modern times demand simpler solutions. The Presto DualDaddy electric deep fryer fits on a countertop and is so easy to use. Just add oil, plug it in, and in 15 minutes it's heated up and ready to fry. Its sleek, elliptical black bucket shape matches form to function-- simple and classic.
The DualDaddy holds up to eight cups of oil or four pounds of shortening, and it can handle up to eight servings of food at a time, as well as being large enough to accommodate larger pieces of meat or fish. With the divider in, two kinds of food can be frying at the same time with no intermingling of flavors. The internal thermostat keeps the oil at the optimum frying temperature. An accompanying scoop, slotted for draining, is for lifting food in and out or for turning food halfway through the cooking time. The power cord has a magnetic safety connection, so that if the unit is jostled during cooking, the cord will disconnect, shutting power off immediately. After straining the used oil, it can be poured back into the unit and stored, covered by the accompanying snap-on plastic lid.
After frying, unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely before attempting to empty oil. Wash the DualDaddy with warm, sudsy water and dry it thoroughly; it is not immersible. To preserve the nonstick finish, inside and out, do not use steel wool or harsh, abrasive cleansers. The Presto DualDaddy measures 9 by 14 by 8-1/2 inches (including handles). Presto guarantees this product with a one-year limited warranty. A simple instruction and recipe sheet is enclosed. --Garland Withers

This is the perfect little deep fryer. It heats up quickly so be careful and there's not a lot of stuff with it just a cupped spatula with holes to release some of oil while taking your food out of the pot a divider to turn your fryer into two fryers at one time and lid to allow to keep your cooled oil just make sure the fryer has cooled down completely because it will melt the lid if you put it on before the fryer is cooled. It doesn't take up a lot of space so you can use in a small kitchen. It's differently not a fryer for a big party only has the capacity to cook enough for maybe three people a time. Only thing I don't like is there’s no temperature indicator so you have to keep watch on what you're cooking. But other than that I recommend this deep fryer.

I forget if I bought this at Amazon. I probably did. It holds 48 oz of cooking oil. I can get Canola oil all day long at King Soopers in that amount for less than 3 $ a bottleI used to filter the oil. what a mess. now I just take the used oil to the Bio Diesle guys after 5 or 6 fries. that's about all you get in reality. don't be cheap. wash the thing out and let it dry out prong side down for a couple of days I have done this numerous times with 0 problems. the machine itself is definately well worn looking with much patina from splatters. get one of those frying pan splatter guards. they work great at knocking the splattering coming out of the top. I still lay some newspaper underneath and around the area at a safe distanceamazingly enough, the well where the oil and the 48 oz marker line on the inside of the fryer are still pristine. how cool is that?I actually use this for just 2 thingsBeer battered Catfish Fillets and Chicken Thighsthe 1st thing i did was frisbie the divider as far as i could fling it along with the stupid spoon that comes with itI have a old slotted spoon that works better and a Chinese spyder that i cut down the handlethey say when it's golden brown and floats to the topit's doneI put em both in the oven on warm for a half hour to "Proof" just to make sureboth are safe at 160*only 2 thighs at a time fit right in this thing in my experienceor one large catfish fillet cut in half at a timeyou could do all of this 6 times or more in a party situationyou could have a damn good fish fry and fried chicken over the weekend with your palsbut i would dump the oil on mondaychange the oil every 6 fries ($.50 a fry is pretty cheap)and you will be likin' this thingget a splatter guardand don't put the rubber lid on till it cools offdon't ever walk away while doing thisthat could be a real draga good tip is to let the chicken or fish get to room temp 1stpretty much standard professional chef advicelook it up or watch food network for a whileI had a couple of those stainless household restaurant looking fryers big mess and many parts to deal with and not enough room for the food to roamTried it in my cast iron stock pot but wasn't able to save the oil before it wore outfor the occasional deep fryi couldn't recommend anything better than this prestone dual daddy for 40$with the the free frisbie that comes with it for you to fling immediately into a deep canyonEasy to use1 48oz bottle of oil that is pretty cheap at most super markets VEG or CANOLA (for 6 whole frys)Peanut is great but is priceyno olive oilit can't take the heatCrisco is the holy grail for deep fryingI love my Dual Daddy and I hope this helps

Our Family loves Deep Fried Chicken and Tempura Shrimp and Vegetables. So, over the years, I've had many different deep fryers. Some create too much smoke. Some are just so darn hard to clean or spatter oil out on their protective enclosures. I ordered this on a fluke thinking it would get me by till I could find a more "expensive" model. HA - now I'm going to buy one for my brother so he can fry his own chicken. This is SO easy to use. Some people complained there is only one temperature, but folks, deep frying is deep frying. Most types of deep fried foods will need to be exactly at the temp this gets to in order to not retain oil in the food. Also, compared to other models of fryers, this holds SO MUCH MORE food, without reducing oil temp, than so many other fryers. I purchased the model that has a divider in the middle so you can fry two different foods at once without the foods mixing, and it holds more than the size down. While I usually cook just for 2, the larger model allows me to cook a whole chicken in TWO batches instead of 3 or 4 which really saves time from start to end of cooking, especially for 10-14 minute deep frying of things exactly like chicken. I don't mind that the outside gets hot - duh -- use the cool handles to move it around if you must move it after heating the oil. I don't mind not being able to control temps. This is a simple, plug in, large capacity, double sided Deep Fryer that cooks the food perfectly. We've used it now ~ 5-6 times since it arrived. Couldn't be happier. Putting the more expensive stinky fryers in the trash.

This is as basic and as simple as it gets, and that's what makes it excellent. Plug it in, boom, you're frying. Oil cools down, strain it, back in the fryer, cap it, done.Everything has come out perfect. Instead of needing a thermostat, just use a thermometer. If you want to do a double fry with the first fry at a lower temp, just drop it in when it hits that temp. It ain't rocket surgery. I love this thing.

Easy to use easy to clean, But you got to keep an eye on the temperature of the oil, It can run a little hot, But otherwise its a great little fryer, Perfect size for handling, I would recommend this product.

We got this deep fryer to make homemade chicken wings, and we love it so far! Still on our first batch of oil; we’re using peanut at the moment, but I purchased this style of deep fryer because I plan on making tallow to use in the future. Tallow solidifies at room temperature, so I needed a deep fryer that didn’t have a submersible heating element. I believe others have said that the oil temp can get too hot, but personally I don’t think I’ve seen it go over 375 degrees. That’s the exact temperature I wanted to cook wings in anyways, so it works well for us! Maybe if you let it preheat too long the temperature will go up higher? Not sure on that though.

Love it. Uses less oil and fries more in each batch compared to the big fryer with a basket and lower draining/filtering system. What took me 4 to 5 batches of wings in a big unit took me only two. Takes up less room on your counter. Less to clean up every time you use it. After my first use I just strained the oil into another pot, cleaned the fryer and poured the strained oil back into the fryer. Now my fryer is ready to use. Love that you just put the handy lid on it.

This was a great little indoor fryer. My only complaints is the lack of temp control, which isnt a huge deal as i rarely lower the temp. I made battered fish and just unplugged it for 3m before starting. Aldo to note it heats to max temp very quickly! My only other complaint is the lid does not fit tight, very loose. It would be nice to clean it out and store the oil inside it but you will need a seperate oil container. The lid would keep dust out but thats about it.
