They have a new deep fryer out called cool touch. It is an insulated pot with an insulated lid and filter on it.
you just heat it up fill the basket with fillets close the lid and lower the basket into the greese and it cooks with out popping the grease or smooking up the house.
got mine at walmart for $15.00.
also great for cooking frozen food without splattering greese everywhere.

Compared to the Fry-Daddy and Fry-Grand-Pappy, what size is it? (How much oil?)
they have different sizes mine holds about 1 quart. of oil.
mine has a basket that will lower after the lid is closed and the lid has a gasket on it .
the hole thing is very easy to clean also.
I tried one and it didn't work so well. It wouldn't allow you to dial in an exact temp and never did get hot enough for my tastes. Took a long time to warm up as well.
I got one as a gift for Christmas last year and I love it. The one I have I would say is similar in size to the Fry Grandpappy. It's very convenient for my wife and I. It really helps keep the smell down if you want to fry fish in the house!! If you are cooking fish on a large scale you probably don't want to use this- it takes too long. I tried cooking a bunch of fish for a get together and it took forever, should have just used propane and dutch oven outside or in the garage.
it hard to beat the old cast iron pot and the propane burner--i have been grilling alot of fillets here lately--using lemon juice, butter, salt and pepper--pretty simple and tastes pretty--nothing beats the hot grease though
I like my fry daddy for just the family but if doing a bunce for the entire family and who ever shows up and they do! I gt out the big fryer
I have tried everything but what your using and I would just be down right scared to stop using my Fry-Daddy!
i have a hamilton beach fryer and it holds a lil more than a half gallon of oil.. i wouldnt trade it for the world...i used to suck at frying fish so would bake em most the time.. this thing makes it easy as pie
I've got one of those fryers with the drop basket. It works quite well, and has the exhaust holes at the top. Somehow after eating speck a bunch of different ways, i prefer to fry them in a pan rather than a fryer. Strange, but the breading always gets too hard a thick; and that's even when im watching it to make sure it's not over cooked. Fry pan just has a better taste to me :rolleyes:
I must have the smaller size, and I hate it. 2-3 filets at a time takes FOREVER.
I think I have had that fryer (black /silver ) it quit working after a few months( I fry alot of fish) The best I`ve found is my ol faithfull Cast Iron...
sticko.......is yours a Rival name brand or a Delhonghi?
Has anyone ever tried a microwave. Most restaurants use them for their baked fish. Fast, easy, no smell, great taste.
I've got a cool touch that I've had about a year.. We use it for EVERYTHING... Could not do without it..
the one i have is a cool touch
it may not be the best thing if cooking for a big crowd but for a faimly of 4 it does very good.
but great for cooking anything frozen and great for indoors wont pop grease on every thing
like some pots when you drop something frozen in hot grease.
