I am considering buying a deep fryer to give my son some of the foods he is craving - can anyone recommend a make that is easy to use, turns out consistent results and doesn't stink the house out!

Many thanks,

Lisa

We have an old "fry daddy", not too big and seems to be sufficient for us (my husband melted the lid that came with it years ago). I'm the only with celiac, but also the one who does almost all the cooking. We only use the fryer with gluten-free food. If anyone can recommend a better one, let me know too.

My husband bought me a Waring Pro deep fryer(around $100) for Xmas last year. It's great because it has a filter in the lid so isn't smelly when frying fish and the heating element and fry pot are removable and so easy to clean. We used to have a TFal fryer( around $79 years ago) that we liked alot with a filter but the pot was nonstick and in the long run not as easy to clean as the Waring.We had and liked the Tfal for 10 years but another reason we like the Waring now is because it gets hotter.

We bought one because my son is the only one diagnosed so far. I plan on buying a bigger one eventually because everything we make is gluten free anyway. I melted our lid too! :lol:

Oh, my goodness...no need to spend a hundred dollars unless you are planning on doing some SERIOUS deep frying for most of your meals. My mother gave me one for Christmas that cost $50 and was to complicated for me to figure out! (Ten years of college and three college degrees later...I can't figure out how to work a freakin' deep fryer). :rolleyes: Sooooo...I took it back and exchanged it for a $25 dollar fryer.

I'm going downstairs to make dinner now. I'll look at the name and features this fryer has and share it with you...we have used it several times with great results! :)

Hi Lisa,

I found the info. for the deep fryer I use; it is a Presto Kitchen Kettle. Found at Wal-Mart type department stores. It costs around $25 dollars. It is one-step-up from the basic fry daddy type (we had one of those a few years ago).

This one looks like a medium size pot with a glass lid and a black nonstick surface inside and out, it has a basket with handle, and a temp./heat control. One thing I think is nice is that the cord sticks magnetically to the fryer so that if someone (you, hubby, child, etc.) accidently tug the cord, it pops undone (the idea is to prevent burns). There is also an indicator light that lets you know when the temp. is right for frying. It has other functions too...but I only use it for deep frying.

On another note, to avoid grease splatters, I cover it with a grease splash guard. It is round with a handle and looks like a giant round fly swatter. The middle of the circle is made of a material like in the bottom of a colander or a sifter...that metal...good grief, I'm having a brain delay. :rolleyes: My point is that air can still circulate, but grease won't pop on you or your counters as easily AND your house won't have that lingering smell afterwards.

Hope this helps! Happy cooking. -Julie :)

I have a T-Fal Avante Deep Fryer, it closes up and has an air filter on the top, so the house doesn't get smelly or anything. Deep fryer pan removes easily so you can stick it in the dishwasher or just be able to clean it better. Has a nice wire basket with good handle to lift out.

Really love it, they are around 70 dollars though

I have a fry daddy but it does not have the air filter. I think I paid about 25 for mine! Definetly recommend one with a filter even if you have to pay alittle more.....I have to shut all the bedroom doors so the smell doesn't creep in there~!

Sieve...Yep! That's it :P Mesh...etc. (Ha! Thanks for picking up my slack...I've been having a lot of "brain poots" recently. I can't think for all the air up there!) :lol: Let's just blame it on gluten ;)

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      So eight days in a row of gluten on top of gluten on top of gluten, I just had to resort to the EpiPen. I wish I could post a picture because you wouldn’t believe how enormous my gut is! It makes my head look like a pinhead.Ahhhgggsahhhhh!!!! I have discovered that I have to read the ingredients when I use a product up that I’ve been able to use without getting a reaction, because they can change the ingredients and bam my toothpaste now has gluten!!! my doctor told me gluten free means it has 20 ppm which someone with a severe a celiac as I’ve got that thing there kills me. I try to find certified gluten-free in everything. I can’t eat any oats unless it’s Bob’s red mill...

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      I have been using a little bit of Lubriderm when I wash my hands because it’s the lotion offered at a place I frequent once a week. Assuming it was gluten-free I bought a bottle. I couldn’t figure out why I was getting gluten EVERY night. I use a little of the lotion in the morning on my neck, with no reaction, but at night, I use it on my arms and legs and face and get gluten gut pretty bad. After eight nights of having to have diphenhydramine injections for severe gluten, I googled “is Lubriderm gluten-free” and it led me to this forum. I am going to go back to olive oil as I have been gut sick sooooooo bad with a huge gut and pain eight days in a row now. Sick of feeling sick.

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      These look great!  I follow several people who frequently post gluten-free recipes online (plus they sell their cookbooks). "Gluten Free on a Shoestring" and "Erin's Meaningful Eats>"

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By ShariW · Posted

      When I had to go gluten-free, the rest of my family still ate gluten. They still eat regular bread products and crackers, but there are no other gluten-containing foods in the house. I bought a separate toaster that is only used for gluten-free products, and thoroughly cleaned all cookware, dishes and surfaces. We do have to be very careful with cross-contact, for instance when someone else is making a sandwich with wheat bread. Then I went through my cupboards and pantry, I set aside everything else with gluten and gave it away - flour and baking mixes, pasta, etc. So when I cook any recipe that calls for flour (perhaps for thickening) or bread crumbs like Panko, I only use gluten-free.
