Large (commercial) deep fryers are fitted with drain petcocks (no one is going to *pour* out the fat), often more than one so that a filtration unit can be fitted... but filtration units are costly plus they take up a lot of valuable kitchen space, and then the filtration unit also requires maintainence. So the vast majority of commercial kitchens use solid shortening in their deep fryers, which they periodically drain into a large pot and set into the walk-in reefer. As it solidifys the particulates settle to the bottom, then it's a simple matter to scoop back all into the now cleaned deep fryer except for the very bottom portion containing the schmutz. Solid shortening is also preferred as their is no chance of accidental spills... at home, by placing your used solid shortening into your freezer permits keeping it for up to a year, and not having to deal with accidental spills. ---= BOYCOTT FRANCE (belgium) GERMANY--SPAIN =--- ---= Move UNITED NATIONS To Paris =--- ********* "Life would be devoid of all meaning were it without tribulation."

Nope, doesn't have to be luxury items at all. But should be something well thought out, and would be desired and appreciated by the recipient. I have my shallow moments.. but I also know a lousy gift when I see it. One given for the *givers* benefit is a lousy gift. Goomba |

But still I think there is more to gift giving. If I buy someone a specific item that I know they want, that's nice - but it is no different from giving them money. Ideally you will know the person and get them something that they will love but might not have thought of themselves. -- Peter Aitken Remove the crap from my email address before using. |

Sometimes a simple card is best. Wow! Has this drifted far from the original post! I have a deep frier unit. At his moment in time it sits on my back porch full of (frozen) rain water awaiting an opportune time to continue onto its ultimate destiny - the dump. Unless one has the need or desire to use a deep fryer on a more than weekly basis they are just a counter headache. The only advantage (and this could be a biggie) is they are safe! By that I mean that to deep fry with an uncontrolled pot on a stove burner one must be aware of it at all times. More kitchens (and - by extention) entire homes have been burned down by a casual approach to a pot of hot oil than by any other kitchen related cause.

McD used to use beef tallow and the fries were superb! They later went to a mixture of lard and vegetable shortening I understand (probably cost saving). Now they use flavorless veggie oil. The fries aren't worth eating now IMO. I've heard about the use of horse fat too Peter. As I remember the horse fat was being used in Belgium.
