What's everyone using for deep fryers out there? Mine took a crap this weekend after 6 years and trying to decide what to replace it with
Deep fryers

- Start date
I use a Cajun Deep Fryer that BassPro use to carry. Holds 4 gals of oil and have had this for 8-10 yrs now.
That thing looks like a weapon wish I would've been in the market when they sold them!!!!

You sure know how to do things right Jim. Any guy that likes to drive around in a John Deere or Caterpillar knows even with a fryer you need to go big or stay home.
By the way I'm still waiting for that fish fry invite with our buddy @stomp.

Love my turkey fryer!
My deep fryer compared to the ones that have a burner heating the oil from the bottom is that in short time your oil is no good. Direct heat combine with what ever coatings you put on your fish for an example falls on the bottom and will burn and ruin your oil.
See attached info on how it’s heated.
Like it’s says how people per hour you can feed and I’m sure it’s correct. I can fry approx 40 perch fillets in about 15 mins, 10 lbs of med chicken wings a good 30 mins (80-90 wings). Also I can reuse the oil for many frying occasions. Fish and fries gets the new oil first and after a few meals it’s chicken wings and before it’s drained it’s a feast of deep fried dill pickles. It’s just endless what gets thrown in it
Before we got hit with Covid, we buy a 16 lt jug of canola oil at Costco for $19.00, the last one I bought in the fall was almost $40.00

Cajun is a great name and solid product, I was able to get their pressure cooker smoker years ago, maybe last century. Great results in 1/3 the time and juicy with water holder as part of the pressure cooker. But it was $1500 back in the day.

Yes and very quick, big fryers are good for a large group but for 2 people your only using a litre of oil. For the fresh cut fries I blanch them first then do the second plunge after the fish is done and bob’s your uncle. I salt my fries soon as I take them out of the oil, secret for good tasting fries

I have a T Fal Ultimate Easy deep fryer. Perfect size for The Wife and I, requires multiple fries when the family is here.
Absolutely agree @Fish Farmer, salt them right after frying. Do the same with the fried fish.
A cool looking fryer @Fish Farmer that you have there!!
I like the idea about it being able to use it indoors & now that I have some long point bay perch,from my past ice fishing trip’s,I therefore wouldn’t mind purchasing a Grand Pappy. I imagine that most major retail store’s sell them, & I am looking forward to a fish 
& chips 
dinner soon!!
