@mediocrebot you finally got me, being able to fry my own foods at home for 15$ i really hope i have more items to buy in the next 30 days, from meh. Any chance for kink Sundays or any sex wellness products being offered?
Good price! The brand name sounds fitting Kaloric as in raise the heck out of your Caloric intake instantly with this frying magic machine!!! I want, but I already know I'll live longer by NOT buying. You definitely gained back some points after the last few drag days of crap.
In for three! One for me and two for Christmas presents. Thanks, Meh! You're back in the groove, for me anyway. Christmas presents are what I need. I'm a little concerned that my order number included the words abnormal, noxious, and arsenic, though.
@Thumperchick because you wanted to mail one to your friend cowboydann. Obviously thats why, otherwise you wouldn't have bought 3 leaving us 15 minute laters high and dry
I have the two-basket version of this and have been quite happy with it. Tempted to pick this up, actually, because I rarely NEED two baskets but I still have to fill the whole thing with oil.
I just sold one of these at a yard sale. I got ten bucks for it. Tempted, but it costs a FORTUNE to fill this thing with decent oil. I loves me some fried squirrel, but... meh.
@tenemu depends on a few things: Generally speaking... "yes." Use an oil that has a high smoke point (Peanut, Avocado, Canola, Grapeseed) and do not heat it beyond the smoke point. Every few frys, filter or strain your oil so the little "bits" don't burn and mess your oil up. -- so: keep it clean, don't over heat it, and it should last a long time. When it smells acrid, time to change
@tenemu You can reuse the oil for a bit. As @unixrab said, keep it clean (dig out the big chunks, filter the rest, refrigerate) and it can be used a few times. However, filtering is a PITA, and after a few uses the oil will begin to taste unpleasant so it must be changed. Also, what you fry has quite a bit to do with it. Fry potatoes, tater tots, onion rings, etc and your oil can be reused half a dozen times or more with maintenance. Fry chicken, country fried steak, veal cutlets, you're good for a couple uses. Fry fish or shrimp and the oil will hold the flavor and anything you fry after will taste like fish no matter how much you clean and filter. After cleaning, filtering and storing the oil a few times it became obivous for me at least it was more effort than it was worth.
In for 1 because the write up made me feel bad for not purchasing a iPad mini case for an iPad mini I don't own. Or a desktop fish bowl because we have 4 cats...
@v Ouch, I can't believe it sold out that quickly. Sadly, I've earmarked the extras for Christmas presents. If my husband comes home in the morning and thinks my purchases were a horrible idea though, I can let you know.
I don't need this, yet having bought a VMP membership earlier this month compels me to drop down the $10 for it since I won't have to pay shipping. I feel as though that's exactly why VMP exists.
@khunjeff After complaining about low sales in the write-up, that was just cruel! I'd of loved to buy one. Or most likely... 3 or 4. Maybe half a dozen, as stand-by gifts. (Obviously I live in the South)
@Tiamat114 No need to feel bad, you will probably need a triple bypass surgery after all the fried goodness this will bring you. At least you will go out in a blaze of fried chicken, fries Oreos, fried battered butter, and any other concoction you can fry up.
@Thumperchick is it bad that I hope you eat your deep fried food before it's cooled off enough and it burns your tongue and then you can't fully enjoy your fried food? ;)
Keeping my fingers crossed that more are found in the warehouse (or backroom or under the sink or behind some boxes) and they are put up for sale again.
Sold out in 20 minutes? Aw c'mon....put some speaker docks up or something! I was trying to make up my mind on whether or not to do it and then this? Meh!
@BrentD you're apparently unaware of the fact that the entirety of the eastern half of California is basically Texas, but with less barbecue and more almonds.
@BrentD Aren't they one of the magic items believed to cause cancer in the state of California? ...this is why I don't live there. Everything causes cancer once you cross state lines!
I'm also on the market if someone wants to resell an "extra" one. Shoot, I'd even pay you extra. If you do, please do email me at jeff vanevenhoven at the gee mail place.
sarwar05 said that there were 212 sold but the front page said 211! Looks like an order canceled and there is a left over for a FUKU. I am so glad I set my alarm and got in early. I was going to buy three but I didn't have the shipping address for my present. I was going to wait for morning to get the present but... I missed the pre-xmas gift giving. Fwhoo I at least got mine! Smile
@jsh139 Guess that's what you get when you constantly try to set people up for failure, eventually they will turn on you like the dog that bites the hand that feeds :)
Haha I never would have thought deep fryers were in such demand. Or they only had 4 in stock and wanted to enjoy a day "hey fat american" jokes in the comments.
If my calculations are correct, if Meh would have had enough of these, they could have sold over 14,000 units in 24 hours for a total of over $140,000. As it stands, they only had enough to make a very meh $2207. We need some transparent Meh firings like on The Apprentice.
Oh blast. I needed one of these things. A friend recently introduced me to the heart-clogging deliciousness of fried pork tenderloins, and I needed to make some. http://www.food.com/recipe/fried-breaded-pork-tenderloin-49465 Then, eat it like a burger, in a bun with cheese, veggies, and optional condiments. It's cardiac arrest heaven.
@JonT Indeed! Aforementioned friend is from up north, but no one else in our friend group had ever heard of such a thing. I'm honestly surprised we didn't have them in the south. It was a fantastic experience.
@JonT I'm from Illinois, but from the part that most Illinoisans consider "The Kentucky Part" of Illinois. (The majority of the state of Kentucky is actually north of me geographically). We consider ourselves southerners. And yes, that is a normal pork tenderloin sandwich, though I prefer mine without mustard.
This company has always been a fair stand, and they're opening a retail store (their first?) this friday near my house: http://www.chickencharlies.com/menu.html
Oh, man, damn you outpatient surgery and the anesthesia that comes with it! I usually check meh at nine when the product changes, but last night I was fast asleep. Ima so sad....
@editorkid@unixrab considering the sellout I guess some people disagree. Price may have something to do with it too, got any info on some $10 high-walled cast iron pans or decent stock pots?
@editorkid Time to let my inner nerd shine! Though he may have changed his opinion again in later seasons, in Good Eats Season 7 Episode 15 "The Man Food Show" Alton Brown actually discusses use of a fryer over a pot on a stove. You can read about what he had to say here (It's under Scene 3, Cook's Warehouse) http://www.goodeatsfanpage.com/Season7/ManFood/manfood.htm
@JonT I deep fry in any of my pots.. it doesn't have to be cast iron (helps tho) or a stock pot (ok) - any metal pot will do, so long as it will allow 2-3 inches of oil. I've had 2 dedicated deep fryers and do not prefer them compared to using some sort of deep saucepan/pot/dutchoven + thermometer.
All right, you have our attention. So, T minus 12 to more speaker docks? But now that we have your attention: no more speaker docks, 'kay? Or 12 ounce cups. Just kidding, people keep buying them. I'm just sitting here killing tiiiiiiiiime.
Set my fryer up last night and cooked up a batch of hush puppies. Couple lessons learned:
The oil bason does in fact hold 1 gallon of Oil. Be prepared for this.
Took ~10 minutes to heat up (which is way fast considering the amount of oil to heat)
Just because there's a lot of space does not mean you fill the whole basket with hush puppies, otherwise some get stuck under others which causes them to cook unevenly.
Awesome fryer; Super happy I purchased it. I'll clean it tonight and report back if there are any issues.

I want, but I already know I'll live longer by NOT buying. You definitely gained back some points after the last few drag days of crap.
In for one, gotta fry up those fishies I'll be raising in my office. But reviews are distinctly mehdiocre: http://www.wayfair.com/Kalorik-3.8-Liter-Stainless-Steel-Deep-Fryer-FT-36673-RIK1465.html

@khunjeff Hey this is mediocre labs we're talking about here not spectacular labs! Lower your expectations a few notches eh? :-)
In for one! Clogged Arteries here I come!
Here are a couple of shitty reviews.
http://www.wayfair.com/Kalorik-3.8-Liter-Stainless-Steel-Deep-Fryer-FT-36673-RIK1465.html
@lichme If I were paying their price, then those reviews would sway me. Meh's price, on the other hand, makes reviews a non-issue for me.
@PurplePawprints I completely agree. I tried to convince the wife on this one, or I'd of purchased it too.
In for three! One for me and two for Christmas presents. Thanks, Meh! You're back in the groove, for me anyway. Christmas presents are what I need. I'm a little concerned that my order number included the words abnormal, noxious, and arsenic, though.
In for 3. Don't even know why.
@Thumperchick you have nobody to blame but yourself... this month
@Thumperchick because they are deep fryers for a meh $10!!!
@Thumperchick because you wanted to mail one to your friend cowboydann. Obviously thats why, otherwise you wouldn't have bought 3 leaving us 15 minute laters high and dry
@nadroj Totally my fault. I NEED wings. It's an addiction.
@Thumperchick everything is your fault
@Thumperchick I'm late to the party and it's all your fault @Thumperchick Missed out on this one...
I have the two-basket version of this and have been quite happy with it. Tempted to pick this up, actually, because I rarely NEED two baskets but I still have to fill the whole thing with oil.
Your order number is: euphoric-gory-pepperoni
I plan to deep fry it.
@patti this just made me check my order number. peppery-hysterical-oven :)
@patti sadly, curious-clownish-cider doesn't sound like something I will be able to deep fry......oh, well.
I just sold one of these at a yard sale. I got ten bucks for it. Tempted, but it costs a FORTUNE to fill this thing with decent oil. I loves me some fried squirrel, but... meh.
@ruouttaurmind Can't you reuse the oil?
@tenemu depends on a few things: Generally speaking... "yes." Use an oil that has a high smoke point (Peanut, Avocado, Canola, Grapeseed) and do not heat it beyond the smoke point.

@ruouttaurmind I never refrigerate mine. But, I also use a dutch oven with a nice fitting lid.
@unixrab That's just wrong!
@unixrab Poor Rat Muttledge!
@unixrab Those potatoes look delicious!
@unixrab Sandy?? Is that you?!?
@unixrab what the .........?????????????
@hippiechik Well done. That just takes things to an entirely new level.
@Kyser_Soze I got more
@forefinger74 be mindful of the power and responsibility of owning a deep fryer
@Thumperchick Awww. You used the name I suggested. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Like...well a rat I suppose.
tasty-listless-scone
I tossed my old fryer a few months ago and haven't replaced it. For $10 I can't pass it up.
Horrifying. Just bought three. Envisioning one as dedicated duck fat fryer. Might. Have. A. Problem.
@djugurba sounds like your arteries are already slowing😝
@djugurba A dedicated duck fat deep fryer? You just blew my mind.
Must resist! Damn this price is amazing!
@Stallion best woot off ever
잔인해요.. ㅜㅜ
@sherryblue say what?!
@rcworship OK..."what". Do I win a prize?
@Kyser_Soze no fryer for you...

@Bogie - I know! I was going to say that it appears the underdog loser angle is working.
I don't need a deep fryer.
So I bought one.
WTF is wrong with me? twitch
@Pony I bought three and I hate to cook and will probably never use it. I've always wanted one, though...
@PurplePawprints um, can I buy one?
@v Ouch, I can't believe it sold out that quickly. Sadly, I've earmarked the extras for Christmas presents. If my husband comes home in the morning and thinks my purchases were a horrible idea though, I can let you know.
@PurplePawprints no worries, and thanks. I look forward to the morning decision :)
@v Sorry, I have none to offer. He actually said I should have bought three more from his account. :-/
@PurplePawprints Holy hell, six fryers? Would that be one for nearly every day of the week or one for each type of thing you fry?
@bluedyn Christmas presents. :-)
@PurplePawprints Knowing that many people with fryers means you should have fry parties after the holidays.
@PurplePawprints Aww, thanks for asking though! I honestly appreciate it :) Have a great day.
OMG!~ You're going to fry Mr. Squirrel?! How could you...I love him...and he's the only friend I have! You're evil meh.

I don't need this, yet having bought a VMP membership earlier this month compels me to drop down the $10 for it since I won't have to pay shipping. I feel as though that's exactly why VMP exists.
@Tiamat114 sucker
Sold out in 15 minutes?!?!
@khunjeff lol
@khunjeff Texas!
@khunjeff After complaining about low sales in the write-up, that was just cruel! I'd of loved to buy one. Or most likely... 3 or 4. Maybe half a dozen, as stand-by gifts. (Obviously I live in the South)
@khunjeff I was surprised by this last night. Then I saw the price this morning. Now I wish I hadn't missed it.
son of a bitch! I was reading the review and it sold out.
Anyone who bought one or three that does need it care to let me take it off your hands?
Dag nabbit!
sold out before i could even go thru checkout.. Urrrg
@sarwar05 yep, me too - guess the goldfish are spared for now
@sarwar05 ohhhh paypal woulda fixed that!
@unixrab having 1000 in stock would've made all of us happy
@sarwar05 all of us except the squirrel
Wow! Sold out while I was in the process of ordering it. I'm not sure if I missed out on an opportunity or dodged a deep fried bullet.
@DaveInSoCal Wow!!!!!! Faster than the Fukubukuro bag!! Not in quantity, but in time.
@DaveInSoCal Dodged the bullet, trust
@DaveInSoCal I kinda feel bad-ish now. My order went through and they sold out right after. I might have been the jerk who caused the sellout.
@Tiamat114 No need to feel bad, you will probably need a triple bypass surgery after all the fried goodness this will bring you. At least you will go out in a blaze of fried chicken, fries Oreos, fried battered butter, and any other concoction you can fry up.
@Tiamat114 Even if you are the sellout jerk, it's my fault.
reverent-eager-spade
Wonder if it could help put oily sheen on possum/chuck skulls also..
Holy fast sellout, meh man!
Damn you @Thumperchick!
I was on the fence and decided to go order it. Gone. /sadface
@capguncowboy Sorry. Is it bad form that I'm glad I got 3 while I had the chance?
@Thumperchick is it bad that I hope you eat your deep fried food before it's cooled off enough and it burns your tongue and then you can't fully enjoy your fried food? ;)
@capguncowboy Nah, just jealousy of my fried burning goodness!
@Thumperchick what I meant to say is that I hope toy enjoy your fryer and invite me over for dinner some time. I'll bring wings!
@capguncowboy Definitely. Especially if you bring the wings.
I WANT ONE>> PLEASE...
You already sold out? You only had like 200 of these?
MEH bring it back.. 212 sold
I bought one just so I could sign up for VMP again.
put oil in this
and use a thermometer to 375°
(and no moronic kitchen fire pictures)
@unixrab But that's ~$60 and this is $10... I know that will do so much more, but it's harder to justify.
@Thumperchick http://smile.amazon.com/Cinsa-311340-Dutch-4-Quart-Speckled/dp/B00BYM7VZU/ref=sr_1_6?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1413952891&sr=1-6&keywords=dutch+oven
@unixrab When I buy great multi-taskers, I prefer to spend that money once, on a great piece. I'm just not grown up enough for a Dutch Oven yet.
@Thumperchick Le Creuset when you are.
@unixrab Oh man, I drool over Le Creuset.
@Thumperchick they are drool-worthy. 13.25 quarts of it.
No Georgia Red. . . for that alone, meh.
@jrwofuga Can someone please explain this reference to me. I clearly missed it but see it mentioned all the time now.
@dunda it's vaguely connected to the fact that @barney loves purple
I love purple.
wow, I would have actually bought one at that price
Jerks. I wanted one.
@avedum
Dang, seems this would have been a better Saturday or Sunday item...
Keeping my fingers crossed that more are found in the warehouse (or backroom or under the sink or behind some boxes) and they are put up for sale again.
Sold out in 20 minutes? Aw c'mon....put some speaker docks up or something! I was trying to make up my mind on whether or not to do it and then this? Meh!
I think I've never been so happy and sad at the same time to see a sellout: I can't possibly buy one now, can I?
@gertiestn i love having decisions made for me!
Meh, I'm still holding out for the Cornballer. This was close, but not close enough.
@zacatac you would have to order from Mehxico for that
Total meh with hair on it!! Less time than it took to take a crap.. Way to go bozos!! What'd you do, sell out to dealers? And for this I woke up.
that's my @unkabob
@JonT .. all in fun.
bah a chance to use my vmp and sold out
Good deal today, therefore, the forecast for tomorrow is speaker docks. White-for-Wednesday speaker docks.
@Fej Yesterday was 2 for Tuesday...this is the Wednesday item, tomorrow is Thursday.
@Kyser_Soze Somebody's got their day of the week undies on!
@Thumperchick that reminds me i still have monday undies on....
@Kyser_Soze Three-for-Thursday!
I was going to buy one but I know the wife will bitch about me buying stuff for her kitchen. The sell out may have saved my marriage!
Sold out after a write-up like that? Is this an appropriate usage of 'ironic'?
@Kelvin a carefully planned rope-a-dope strategy
Wow, that sold out faster than a bag of meh.
If you hurry, you can pick up an extension cord on Woot for just $29.99. Just in case you're running short of meh.

@unixrab 2 quarts... :(
@ThoR294 buy 2? ;-)
Lucky me! I was a little late tonite or I'd have ended up with 1-3 of these that I don't need.
My name is Mamawoot, and I'm a shopaholic.
@mamawoot HI MAMAWOOT!
So if it's sold out, can I still hit the "Meh" button? #irrelevant
@clarinetbob try it and see
@clarinetbob even if you buy you should hit the meh button. why i don't know, but i do it anyway.
I decided, but just sold oooooooooouuuuuuuuuuttttt
^^.
SOLD OUT!!!!! in less than an hour! how the fuck am I supposed to get fatter now....
Texas I understand, but California? Certainly they are contraband in California.
@BrentD Fish tacos, shrimp, calamari...
@BrentD you're apparently unaware of the fact that the entirety of the eastern half of California is basically Texas, but with less barbecue and more almonds.
@BrentD Aren't they one of the magic items believed to cause cancer in the state of California? ...this is why I don't live there. Everything causes cancer once you cross state lines!
Already sold out? just in an hour? Does anyone think meh should update tomorrow's deal right now?
Nooooo....!!! I was late to the party!!! I wanted this to fry my dead Sansa in.......
anyone with buyers remorse or feeling like giving one of your 3 up, email me at raffigorges@gmail.com cuz i want one so badly
Again with the Dakotas!!! It's a theme!
@PocketBrain You think with Chislic being the dish SD is known for, we would of been all over this..
Meh, do you WANT me to have to order things on the drive home from practice? I missed out because i wasn't mehing while driving
@MsELizardBeth Get yourself one of these, as recommended by George Takei: http://www.amazon.com/AutoExec-Wheelmate-Steering-Attachable-Surface/dp/B00E1D1GY6
@bluedyn Great idea, except the steering wheel has to be upside down to use it and I get motion sick if I do donuts. ;)
@MsELizardBeth Damn manufacturers trying to endanger us by making risky products even riskier. Then may I recommend a chauffeur?
@bluedyn OOOH. I wonder if he can drive stick. (I can't so maybe he could teach me.)
@bluedyn
@MsELizardBeth He looks very cool. I'm sure he can. :)
@nadroj Oh, Toonces!
@bluedyn Wow - everything about that page is amazing. Even George Takei reviewed the product. Man, I'm in awe.
@choral_music The customer Q&As, the customer photos, the reviews--yeah, it's LOL funny. I do love a good Amazon product page.
@bluedyn @choral_music There's some pretty great reviews for this too.

@choral_music Sequential Hermaphrodites - brilliant!
Surprised it sold out so quickly. Especially without Georgia Gold as an option.
@Huegwei More like Georgia Golden Brown Deliciousness.
I love purple.
@Huegwei I guess that's why none sold in Georgia.
I'm also on the market if someone wants to resell an "extra" one. Shoot, I'd even pay you extra. If you do, please do email me at jeff vanevenhoven at the gee mail place.
I'm surprised that they sold out so quickly.
Seriously deep fried iced cream is a thing and it is so artery clogging delicious.
I missed the fryer and gained a few extra years of life...
Who wanted???
3am and already sold out. Thanks fatties!
I am so okay not able to purchase this item.
aaaaaAAAHHH Dangit... I needed that bad. Someone give me theirs please. k thanks bye.
Awww...I didn't say torture. Death traps work way too quick to constitute torture.
That squirrel looks "harmed."
hey! once more Meh..... this item.
sarwar05 said that there were 212 sold but the front page said 211! Looks like an order canceled and there is a left over for a FUKU. I am so glad I set my alarm and got in early. I was going to buy three but I didn't have the shipping address for my present. I was going to wait for morning to get the present but... I missed the pre-xmas gift giving. Fwhoo I at least got mine! Smile

Haha I never would have thought deep fryers were in such demand. Or they only had 4 in stock and wanted to enjoy a day "hey fat american" jokes in the comments.
not a bad deal but there was only 211
I think Meh's feelings would have been spared on the aquarium sales if they had simply offered the fish fryer at the same time.
@Outofmymind
Don't worry guys; they might "find some more in the warehouse" at noon.
I bought ipad covers yesterday. Now I feel bad.
Good deals only 250. bad deals 1000's why??????
@hareeshch Maybe it's harder to get these really good deals, especially in large quantities.
@JonT I suspect it's just mediocrity - own it.
If my calculations are correct, if Meh would have had enough of these, they could have sold over 14,000 units in 24 hours for a total of over $140,000. As it stands, they only had enough to make a very meh $2207. We need some transparent Meh firings like on The Apprentice.
Oh blast. I needed one of these things. A friend recently introduced me to the heart-clogging deliciousness of fried pork tenderloins, and I needed to make some.
http://www.food.com/recipe/fried-breaded-pork-tenderloin-49465 Then, eat it like a burger, in a bun with cheese, veggies, and optional condiments. It's cardiac arrest heaven.
@Alazilla Around here fried tenderloin sammiches are pretty common and a staple at fairs.
@Alazilla @MsELizardBeth according to @ChadP this is a totally normal and acceptable pork tenderloin sandwich in Indiana:
@JonT Indeed! Aforementioned friend is from up north, but no one else in our friend group had ever heard of such a thing. I'm honestly surprised we didn't have them in the south. It was a fantastic experience.
@JonT I'm from Illinois, but from the part that most Illinoisans consider "The Kentucky Part" of Illinois. (The majority of the state of Kentucky is actually north of me geographically). We consider ourselves southerners. And yes, that is a normal pork tenderloin sandwich, though I prefer mine without mustard.
@JonT Jesusgod.
Damn, finally something i actually want and they sold out.
Meh.
This company has always been a fair stand, and they're opening a retail store (their first?) this friday near my house: http://www.chickencharlies.com/menu.html
@DaveInSoCal I am pretty sure I gained weight LOOKING at the site... and I now want to try the things I have never tried like the deep fried doritos
@DaveInSoCal A staple of the Del Mar/OC fair, but my personal favorite was always the Australian battered potatoes (with ranch and cheese)
@MsELizardBeth @jont I'm hoping they have the teriyaki pineapple bowls in addition to all the deep fried stuff.
damn, sad I missed this. had to meh because it was sold out.
Oh, man, damn you outpatient surgery and the anesthesia that comes with it! I usually check meh at nine when the product changes, but last night I was fast asleep. Ima so sad....
$10 or no $10, I'm with Alton Brown. Unitaskers are bad. Just get a decent stock pot and maybe a high-walled cast-iron pan.
@editorkid your logic and rational advice will not be tolerated around here Sir.
@editorkid @unixrab considering the sellout I guess some people disagree. Price may have something to do with it too, got any info on some $10 high-walled cast iron pans or decent stock pots?
@editorkid Time to let my inner nerd shine! Though he may have changed his opinion again in later seasons, in Good Eats Season 7 Episode 15 "The Man Food Show" Alton Brown actually discusses use of a fryer over a pot on a stove. You can read about what he had to say here (It's under Scene 3, Cook's Warehouse) http://www.goodeatsfanpage.com/Season7/ManFood/manfood.htm
@JonT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garage_sale (p.s. zing!)
@JonT I deep fry in any of my pots.. it doesn't have to be cast iron (helps tho) or a stock pot (ok) - any metal pot will do, so long as it will allow 2-3 inches of oil. I've had 2 dedicated deep fryers and do not prefer them compared to using some sort of deep saucepan/pot/dutchoven + thermometer.
Deep Fried Ice Cream Here I come
I really need to set an alarm for myself. I would've probably bought 2 or 3 of these!
@fyreblazer This product combined with your username scares me.
@dave You have the correct assumption.
In for 3. Now I don't have to choose between cheddar peppers, fries, and fried mushrooms. Party over heeeeere!
I see what you did there Meh.
Three sales of rejection.
Then kick start us deal junkies with a loss leader.
But as with all loss leaders, leave the appetites un-satiated.
(And minimize the bean counter hammer.)
All right, you have our attention. So, T minus 12 to more speaker docks? But now that we have your attention: no more speaker docks, 'kay? Or 12 ounce cups. Just kidding, people keep buying them. I'm just sitting here killing tiiiiiiiiime.
Set my fryer up last night and cooked up a batch of hush puppies. Couple lessons learned:
The oil bason does in fact hold 1 gallon of Oil. Be prepared for this.
Took ~10 minutes to heat up (which is way fast considering the amount of oil to heat)
Just because there's a lot of space does not mean you fill the whole basket with hush puppies, otherwise some get stuck under others which causes them to cook unevenly.
Awesome fryer; Super happy I purchased it. I'll clean it tonight and report back if there are any issues.
@Bogie Thanks for the review! Ours is sitting on the counter, awaiting our first foray into frying.
