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

We received a fancier deep fryer for a gift, but the fancy one never seems to get hot enough. This deep fryer has never given us any problems. 22 of 22 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Presto 05450 DualDaddy Electric Deep Fryer (Kitchen) I recently purchased the DualDaddy fryer. I have had several different fryers in the past. I started about ten or so years ago with the original GranDaddy. It was alright, but I wanted to be able to fry more, and had seen the newer fryers that had covers while you were frying. I bought one, and it was great for frying, and the cover kept the spattering to a minimum. However, it was very pricey, and a major job to clean. If I'm going to take the time to clean something, I want it very clean. With the big ones, you have to really take it all apart to get it good and clean. The day before I bought the DualDaddy, I spent over an hour trying to get the old one clean, and finally gave up and threw it out. I really like the DualDaddy. It is a great size, and very simple to clean. In about fifteen minutes I can drain the oil, wash the fryer and refill. I bought one of those fine screen mesh spatter guards that you put over skillets for a dollar and it works great on top of the...Read more 18 of 18 people found the following review helpful: By RSR (Kingman, AZ) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Presto 05450 DualDaddy Electric Deep Fryer (Kitchen) As a former owner of a Presto Fry Daddy, and Grandaddy I expected more of the same high quality and got it! Not only is this the largest one to date, but the fastest. The oil is up to full temperature a full 2 or 3 minutes quicker then the other two, about 10 minutes total. Does a great job of cooking, just try not to overload it or it`ll foam over! Great quality and price, a best buy. |
