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 ;)

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
