Deep Fryer; Who Has One?

[Bentley Green]

Isn't that dangerous to your health? Transfats?

Never had one as I don't fry anything.

Here's the one that Emeril was using the other day; http://www.cooking.com/products/shprodde.asp?SKU=109433 . Made by T-Fal.

He also has a bread machine with his sig on it from the same co.

I use peanut oil. Since this is the South, were lots of things are fried, you can find the big containers at all the local markets. Price point is a lot better the bigger the container.

No turkey in mine, but have done shrimp, chicken, fish, hushpuppies and fries.

I guess it could be useful also for frying mounds of fried chicken.

The problem comes trying to use up all that leftover oil for other things before it has a chance to spoil!
