I just bought one and took it back. I have used a 10" round cast aluminum deep frier from Presto for 25 years. I just replaced it at Walmart for about $25. Again, as above, it depends on your specific need. The Presto heats up to 450F without a problem. Kent |

@newsread4.news.pas.earthlink.net: > I've Googled but haven't really found much. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...816007-0067221 I belive there's one that's a double wide also if you need bigger. The heating element goes in the oil, so it heats the oil, not the pot, and there's a "cool zone" below it so the drippings don't burn. Alos makes for easy cleaning. Tis the one that Alton Brown used, or similar, in his "Man Food Show" where he made corn dogs & homemade "sliders"/ |

Digital temp set instead of analog. But it's $20 more, so it's your call if it's worth the 20. |

There's a fryer kit with basket and thermometer and a 5 quart chicken fryer. You can get Lodge just about anywhere, the hardware store, Target, Walmart... Deep frying is easy, it dosn't require as-seen-on-TV equipment. The Lodge pots are easy to clean. It helps to have a good oil filtering and storage system ie: a metal funnel and paper coffee filters. |

I've had this identical fryer for over a year now. I've owned probably 5-6 deep fryers over the years and this baby is far superior to all of them. I just plug it in, set it for 375 degrees and the green light comes on when its up to temp. Bought it at BJ's for $39 and was skeptical it was any good, but I figured if it didn't work I'd just pitch it and only be out 39 bucks. Gave it one thorough cleaning to date, as the oil gets "baked" onto the immersed heating element and (obviously) reduces efficiency. Sprayed on oven cleaner and let it soak overnite, wiped it off in the AM .... returning it to its original pristine splendor. I'd definitely recommend it. Actually, I wish I'd bought a spare to have on-hand when this one craps out. LeeBat |

Are you after a domestic fryer or a commercial one? There are several
commercial ones that are fairly cheap and faster.
