Deep Fryer?

This isn't really a gluten-free question, but over the years I have toyed with the idea of buying a fryer. Do any of you have them? I don't eat fried food all that often, but when I do, I get frustrated with the temperature regulation & the houseful of fried smell... if you have a fyer, does it help with the smell as well? Does it do a better job? Or is it just an expensive gimmick?

I have a deep fryer, we haven't really used it that much though yet. We've only used it for fried chicken with potato chip breading or pancake mix breading. Its pretty good in the pancake mix.

My mom is obsessive/compulsive and she always had one and our house never smelled. I don't know if that means anything, but we did have the best french fries and corn fritters on the planet!

MMM! Corn Fritters - would you be willing to share the recipe? I love corn fritters and I do own a deep fryer (used primarily for home made fries and chicken wings).

Ha, I wish!!! She made those back when I was a kid and could eat whatever I wanted!!! :angry: I'm sorry. But if you do find a recipe, be sure they have whole kernels of corn in them then drench them with pure maple syrup!!

A few months back I was desperately craving wings, and was determined to buy a fryer and make my own. I thought of all these wonderful things I could make with my fryer. So I set about finding which one I wanted, and bought my fryer. One batch of delicious wings later and I've yet to use it again. LOL!!

Nonetheless, I'm still happy I bought the fryer. You never know when that wings craving will kick back in. :)

we have a $150 unit, but it's never used. i deep-fry once every 3 months or so and just heat up a small pan of oil on the stove and stick a thermometer in it. uses way less oil then the deep fryer, and frys food just as fast!

a couple GOOD things about fryers...you don't need to watch the temp, just set it at 350* & go. also you can set it outside on the deck so you don't get a houseful of stink. would be handy if you're cooking for more then two ppl, or if you plan to eat that fatty stuff really often :)

      Not Sure What to Think

      By MMH13 · Posted

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.
