Deep Fryers
 

I'm thinking of purchasing a new deep fryer and wondered about the
Magimix ones. Are they the best, bearing in mind that there's only the
two of us? Any opinions would be appreciated.

Think about other ways of eating food that don't involve deep frying. Once
you wean yourself off the taste of everything with extra fat you'll find
that food does actually have some nice flavours!

Learn to properly deep fry and you will learn a perfectly legitimate
and delicious way to add to your cooking methods. If you steamed food
for hours, you would say the same thing about steam cooking.

You can't beat the deep fryer for wonderful french fries, fried fish,
fried pork chops, fried doughnuts...the list goes on and on...

I bought one of these a couple of years ago at my local Sam's Club
Warehouse and it works well...double click on this link...

I even bought one of those 32 quart Turkey Frying Pots that sits on
top of a propane burner out in your backyard...cooked a delicious
fried turkey...fried shrimp and fish...very tasty but very fattening
too!

Regards,

Bill

It's interesting to note that since Nesco's home deep fryer appliance
went on the marker several years ago...I'll bet there are four or five
other companies making almost identical copies of it now...this
Magimix model in the UK looks very similar to the Nesco model...

I disagree with that. Whilst food that has been steamed for hours will
probably disintegrate (depending on what you're cooking) and may taste
bland, it won't have picked up a whole load of extra calories for no
nutritional value that you get from deep frying. The frightening levels of
obesity in the US (and to a lesser degree in other affluent western
countries) show this. In Australia it seems that the fatter people are and
the less they are educated, the more fried food they eat - must be some sort
of causal link there.

You mean that eating fried food causes a lower educational level?

But seriously, *properly* fried food contains very little extra fat - that
is, beyond what's in the food itself. Keep the oil hot enough, do not crowd
the food, drain it properly, and almost no oil gets into the food. Of course
the problem is that few restaurants and fewer home cooks know how to fry
properly and they *do* end up with a load of extra fat in the food. Even
with proper technique, frying does add some calories - partly because of the
batters that are often used - and should be an occasional thing for most
people.

I don't recall the original poster asking anything about the health benefits
of deep frying foods, only which model or brand seemed to be acceptable. I
certainly wouldn't want to be preached to about my choice of food
preparation if I wasn't specifically asking about it. Besides, if you've
never eaten a piece or three of genuine American Southern fried chicken, you
have no idea what flavor is.

Also, you might want to keep in mind that not everyone eats deep fried foods
or high fatty foods all the time. The oriental cuisines are full of fried
foods - Chinese in particular, also Japanese tempura, etc. and there are
certainly not an overabundance of obese people in Asia. Such things should
be eaten in moderation anyway.

To the OP - look into the Waring DF200. It is highly rated, has a large
capacity, and would be suitable for most any size family. Either that, or
if you have the $$$, get a countertop commercial model from a restaurant
supply place.

Like 99.999% of the people in France, Italy, India, China, etc etc. Yep,
it's well known that those poor folks don't know a durned thing about
flavor.
