Best Deep Fryer Suggestions for Delicious and Mess-Free Results

I do NOT deep fry because of the mess it makes. However, we were at a party a couple of months ago and the host made some deep fried shrimp. They were so good and the coating was so light and fluffy that I though it bought it from somewhere. I think I want to get one for DH for Father's Day. What model do you own?

I've never had an issue with a big mess when Deep Frying. Being that most of the space in my kitchen is filled to capacity, we bought a cute little Fry Daddy at Target. I think it wasn't even $15.00. DH was nice enough to melt the plastic lid that came with the little fryer within the first, week, so we had to make one out of tinfoil- and we would use the oil about 2 times before changing it out. We never had any spills, and what did splatter on the counter top was quickly wiped up with a clorox wipe or a warm soapy sponge...

I was actually thinking of getting another one, because DH did something to our other one, and I couldn't get a sticky film off the inside and outside- but I don't have anywhere to put it! And with my sister living here, even my counters are full- and I HATE that!

I have the Big Fry Daddy...I'm not even sure they still make them. But I LOVE mine...though living overseas, I don't use it as much since it requires a transformer to use now.

That's a bummer- there is something to be said for how well those things can cook a french fry!

Every time I've had a deep fryer it never worked out for me. Eventually the electrodes wear out and your oil doesn't maintain the temperature. I personally prefer to get a large skillet and put oil in there, and fish stuff out with a metal spoon or frying basket. I don't deep fry very often anyway.

I love the fryer for home made fries, and for homemade donuts and egg rolls!

I know. I miss my crunchy fries & popcorn shrimp & hushpuppies & I could go on & on.:cry: I can still cook all that on the stove but these German stovetops can be a pain...getting the right temp isn't always easy. :grumpy:
