How do y'all like these fryers? Also how do y'all store the oil between cookings?
Never used the Cajun brand fryer but I've always bought my peanut oil in 3-gallon containers like for using with a turkey deep fryer, strained it after each use and store in the original container in the freezer. Never had any go rancid even after 2 years. Stuff's expensive ya know.
I bought the two basket model Cajun Fryer about two years ago. I use it at least twice a month and only drain, strain the oil, and clean the fryer once a year. After the oil cools I store the cooker inside my outdoors "man kitchen" to keep critters away from it and to keep the oil cool. I add enough oil to bring it back to the fill line each time before cooking. So far, I have not replaced all the oil at one time.
It takes forty five minutes from the time I fire up the fryer until I turn it off to prepare and fry enough fish, hush puppies, and fries to feed four adults.
I am well satisfied with my Cajun Fryer.
Awesome, Thanks so much guys. Gonna pull the trigger shortly. ( credit card)
I've borrowed one a couple times. I really want one. They are nice!
love mine... cook ...close the lid and forget about it...Pnut oil only...keep it in a shady spot and you dont even have to drain it much!
I love mine as well. I do drain and strain the oil and store in my fridge after each use. I use rice bran oil and really like it.
Man They are AWESOME!!!
We use ours three or four times a month. Let the oil get to 350 before dropping fish, cooks great. I always strain after each cooking and store the oil in the basement where it will remain cool. After five or six cooking I take a hose and wash the cooker to remove crumbs and meal that settles in the bottom, spray the inside with canola oil. We do change our oil about one a year because it turns dark, but still does not taste burned. If you cook a lot of fish they are well worth what you pay. We use canola oil.
I bought one to put at our hunting camp. I put new oil in it in October and I drain it in February. Simple as that. Love it. We cook fish, duck breast, chicken and duck liver, pork chops and other stuff. Love it. Best money I ever invested in something of that sort.
