Yes, years, and YEARS, behind the times but excited to make wings, and handcut fries, and zucchini fries.  I never could eat deep fried foods really growing up, unless I wanted to pay dearly with acne, and a grossly oily face, just wasnt worth it.  Lately i have been into wings, never was a huge fan, so this will be fun on fridays, and Saturdays.  I did look into air fryers, but have seen very contradicting reviews, and opinions.  With all the bribery reviews, and this, and that, I said screw it, and went with a deep fryer.   I have been using convection oven, and feel as if the air fryer would be similar in taste.

I went with a 12 cup job, something to just do some wings, fries, things like that.  My dad has the full size turkey fryer he cooks pounds of wings in at a time, so if needed, he always offers it to use.   No turkey will fit in the fryer I bought.  

Chas' if you do buy, let us know what you think.

I'm looking into those air fryers. Looks to be the same effect minus the stuff that is bad for you.

My daughter is on a healthy eating kick for the last 3 years. I got her one for Christmas. It's a fairly high dollar one. the basket will do 2 servings (But we all know how shall a real serving is..lol). And I will say this. It does OK. But don't confuse this with real deep fried. It's like comparing apples and bowling balls.

Bought one a little over a year ago and never looked back. Made a ton of wings, fried chicken breasts-legs-thighs, chicken and turkey fingers, shrimp, fish, poppers, fries, onion rings, and clams.
Here's a tip about reusing oil, strain it and store in a cool dry place. I get about three uses from oil with breaded/battered foods, 5 with non breaded. Toss the oil when it's no longer clear or smokes when heated.

Next to my grill, smokers, and cast iron pan I love using my deep fryer.

That LAST thing I need is a deep fryer!

No thank you...................I have PLENTY of bad habits and don't need anything deep fried at home.

Booooo!

More for me then.

I don't have many bad habits,  so weekend TREATS wont hurt me.  I have plenty of self control with food.  Eat well during the week, to ruin it on the weekend xD

what brand fry daddy is horrible. Being italian ,christmas eve is fish nite . THE fry daddy takes a year and a day to heat up and if you put too much in there they dont fry comes out soggy its like three pieces of shrimp or calamari @ a time. Wind up doing it in a cast iron pot on the stove.We fry calamari , scallops and shrimp and fish that i caught all summer and fall.

Our daughter bought us one for Christmas. We've made a pork roast, fish, chicken breasts. Pork chops tonight. I was skeptical at first, but it's surprising how moist the food is. I wouldn't have thought you'd get that by cooking with hot air. Pretty quick too.

A cheapy farberware, if I like it, and it pukes later on, i will buy a good one.  Figured I would see just how much we use it first.   Did see fry daddy all over, but saw they chip teflon too.
