So, just got my 4 gal Cajun Fryer. What did you guys do for the first fire up?? Do I need to burn off any oil residue? And if so, dry burn or with oil, or water?
Whatcha think???

I can't help with the question but sounds like a heck of a cooker. Congrats
I would check the instructions thoroughly but for sure I would was with hot water and dish soap.
i got this straight from the users manual.
1. Wash fryer with dishwashing detergent and warm water prior to use. The inside of the unit has been sprayed with cooking oil to prevent rust.

Thanks Buckeye. I did not find anything in my assembly instructions. And looked on the site but didnt see that.
I always understood, Never fire up a fryer without oil in it.
That’s all I did when I got mine 10 years ago. Keep your oil jugs to strain oil every 5-7 cooks. I’ve gotten over 30 cooks in one batch of oil.Quote:

Well I used it today for my first fish cooking. Excellent!! Got the oil a little too hot to begin with. I was using Riceland rice bran oil, which has a high flashpoint than other oil. Not sure if it was the oil or the little bit of extra heat
but it was the best fish-hushpuppies-and fries I've ever cooked. Very light and crispy, just the way I like it. And no heavy, bad feeling after eating. And I might of ate just a little bit too much.....
A good hot cooker does a great job. High temp oils help as well
That Riceland oil is great.
You will enjoy that cooker for a Long time! Bought my dad one almost 20 years ago. With all the additions of nieces, nephews, grandkids throughout the years I bought a second one about 5 years ago to be able to keep up with all the hungry bellies. Absolutely the best cooker for deep frying in my book.

Hmmm, May have to look into one of these. :dono
Well worth the price! With a little, very little, tlc it will last forever. The money saved on oil, being able to reuse so many times without burning, makes all the difference. Hard to find products that will stand the test of time anymore, this is definitely one that will.Quote:

OP'er here. I want to say again how impressed with the rice bran oil. Since it has a higher flash temp, I was able to fry at around 400. The fish, frys and HP cooked faster and were more crisper and seamed to be "lighter" . I suppose someone else would prefer something els but I think it was the best fish and fixings I've ever cooked. Ready for more....
I will have check out the oil and the cookerQuote:
