A roomy countertop fryer that cooks two foods at once without mixing flavors and stores its oil under a lid. The spec table's wattage is clearly an error, so the description's rating is the one to trust.

Overview
Presto designs the DualDaddy as an elliptical countertop fryer whose bucket holds the oil, with a removable divider that splits it into two sections. A thermostat holds the oil at frying temperature, and a slotted scoop lifts and drains the food.
Large batches, a divider for separate flavors and a lid for storing oil suit family meals. The limits are its footprint and the need to strain used oil before it goes back into the unit.
Who it's for
Households that fry for several people, or want fish and fries cooked together without sharing flavors, are the target. Small kitchens and solo cooks may find the bucket too large for their counter.
Pros and cons
- Divider separates two foods
- Large oil capacity
- Thermostat holds frying temperature
- Magnetic cord disconnects if jostled
- Spec table wattage is wrong
- Used oil must be strained before reuse
- Wide body needs counter room
- Dishwasher suitability not listed
Performance notes
A thermostat holds the oil at frying temperature once it has heated, which takes a quarter of an hour from cold. With the divider in, two foods fry side by side in one oil bath without mixing flavors, and without it larger pieces of fish or meat fit. If the unit is jostled, the magnetic cord pulls free and cuts power at once.

Frequently asked questions
How do I reuse oil in the Presto DualDaddy?
After straining the used oil, it can be poured back into the unit. The snap-on lid then lets you store oil in the fryer.
What happens if the DualDaddy is bumped during cooking?
The power cord has a magnetic safety connection that disconnects if the unit is jostled, shutting power off immediately.
Is the 5.7 watt entry for the Presto DualDaddy correct?
No. The same figure appears as the item weight in pounds. The description gives 1500 watts and 120 volts.
