My ex had a nice one that he used about once a week. Made his kitchen smell like fast food after a few months. I’d like to have one except for that
Comment on The shrinkflation
winkerjadams@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks agoI bought a deep fryer for $100ish. Makes it easy. Turn it on, come back 10minutes later, cook food for 4 minutes and then eat. It is a bitch to clean though but depends on how thorough you want to be.

I do it on a little table outside my back door. It definitely stinks up the house otherwise. My fryer has a little lid that you can put on it after the oil cools. You can reuse the oil a bit depending on what you’re cooking.

That literally solves none of the complaints.

It heats, cools, you can buy one with automatic filtering, and it stores the oil. That’s literally all the complaints they had?

It does but your comment didn’t say that outright and people who just avoid deep friers because they don’t want to deal with the oil probably don’t make assumptions about deep friers making it easy to deal with that stuff.
I didn’t realize deep friers were more than fancy pots with stoves and temperature control built in and baskets so you don’t have to fish the fish and chips out with tongs. If I had more space and less fat, I might even have gotten one now that I understand they can also help manage the oil.
Probably better to get a rice cooker, though.
