3811.0. "Deep Fat Fryer Recommendations?" by DNEAST::WESTLAKE_SUE (SUE WESTLAKE) Tue Jun 15 1993 11:09

I'd like to get a deep fat fryer.  Any recommendations?  I'm skeptical of the 
Fry-Daddy variety when cooking stores offer models for over a hundred dollars.
What are the things to look for?

Biggest complaint I have with Fry Daddy's/Gran Pappy's and the like is that
they are constant temperature and therefore good for only one thing - deep
frying. One of the units with infinitely adjustable heat settings gives you
a lot more versatility. I recently bought a Presto unit for little money
(under $30) which I was able to obtain a crockery liner for, so I can use
it for frying, steaming, roasting, slow cooking, stewing, popcorn, etc.,
etc., etc.

    I have a Dazey Chef's Pot. It does it all. It comes with a basket for
    deep frying. So far all I've done is fry in it, and it works great. I
    have made the best homemade french fries and crab rangoons in it. It cost 
    $30 2 yrs ago. I still see them around, in the sunday paper circulars 
    they are on sale alot.

re: .2

Ooops! Your response reminded me - the one I referred to in .1 isn't a
Presto afterall - it's a Dazey!
