Yes, simple IS best. So unless you are frying on a daily basis, a 4qt sauce
pan and a good thermometer are all you need for deep frying. This will
require attention on your part, regulating the temperature yourself instead
of depending on a thermostat, but you did mean to stay there and pay
attention anyway, didn't you?
