Amazon.com Review
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

Summary: Great Fryer 2010-07-27
Comment: The DualDaddy is the best fryer I have used. Just put in the oil and plug it in, no dials, switches, or settings! It heats the oil quickly and keeps the fish coming to feed a hungry crowd. The fryer holds several fillets and cooks perfectly each time. When our first DualDaddy was destroyed in an accident, we immediately ordered another - couldn't do without it.

Summary: Frying for two 2009-10-16
Comment: My husband and I are empty nesters, so making dinner for two is challenging. We very rarely fry food but when we do the DualDaddy works great. It keeps the oil at a consistent temperature and reheats very quickly when the food is added. This is my second DualDaddy, the first one is at our vacation home.

Summary: Fabulous deep fryer! 2009-09-14
Comment: We bought this deep fryer to replace our old deep fryer that sucked. Our old one never heated up properly and was a hassle. We also bought the DualDaddy because we liked the option to divide it to cook more than one item at a time. It works great! Only thing that we aren't crazy about is the splatter, because it has no lid when cooking.
Overall, we wouldn't trade it for anything!
