Just gifted myself an electric deep fryer-any recipe suggestions?

Return it and get an air fryer.

ninja grill.

i love my Mom's hushpuppies recipe deep fried, but other good hushpuppies are alright, too....they must have onions in them though.

deep fry everything baby, get a good batter.

start in the vegie aisle then hit the meat sections

Air fryers are the biggest scam since powdered water. I returned mine after one use.

You’re either for lard or a tard.

get some frozen red hot burritos with sour cream.

Throw a "does it fry party" and invite a bunch of people.
I like egg rolls n chimichangas

also, fastnachts kuchen deep fried, yummm

Tempura vegetables.

Tempura broccoli and cauliflower

Deep fry your wife… she’ll last long till the end of lock down

got a combo microwave with air fryer and oven feature and it works well, but i mostly use the microwave function...the air fryer makes good fries and toasty sammiches though. it's nice not taking up extra space for another appliance.

OP here. I heard tempura is a little tricky to do right.

Any recipe suggestions for that batter?

oh, yeah....and sweet potato!

I deep fried your mom and she lasted less time than usual

Onion rings with beer battered butter milk


Tenderized beef cubberized in the same batter...

Okra?

Fish and chips is so good. I use the cornmeal fish coating

Fried okra with cornmeal as the breading is delicious

Of course fried chicken is a win

Any kind of potatoes

Tempura shrimp and veggies

Do you use beer in your fish and chips recipe?

Go outside and find a stray dog. Chop off the head. No cleaning required skin peels right off. You can crack the skull open to eat the brains. Tongue is good sliced thin.

Face is the best part.

You are welcome.

This.

I haven't used my deep fryer since I got an air fryer. No more buying gallons of peanut oil, either.

Its totally not as tasty.

^

fact

I don't

I don't like the thick batter. It seems to take longer to cook the batter correctly and then that overcooks the fish. I like to use the cornmeal mix kind

Thanks. I’ll try with cornmeal.

I read somewhere that omitting egg in the fish batter recipe makes a lighter, thinner batter. Apparently egg makes the batter heavier and cakier.

I second and third those suggestions.

I used my electric deep fryer for a Turkey, fries, fish, then never again because the oil was a pain in the ass to dispose of (still have it years later, might use it in my chainsaw).

Oil too expensive, messy to clean and store or dispose of.

I got a ninja foodi combo air fry, indoor grill, flat griddle thingie and am planning to donate the oil fryer this week.

I agree about the messy clean up. But I purchased a deep fryer that automatically filters out the food debris.

Basically it’s got a valve that drains the oil into a separate container at the bottom while keeping the food bits separate.

Used it twice so far and very happy with results.

Air Fryers are decent at best but don’t replicate the same taste and texture imho.

I have the same kind, and it works great! I like mine too

Good to know you’ve had good results. I’m hoping the unit will hold up over time.

A proper deep fryer heats the oil to a sufficiently hot temperature that keeps the food from being greasy.

People so far have commented how light and non-greasy the food turns out.

I like fried vegetables, been trying to hone in on different batters.

Just saw an Asian one where she added a small amount of vinegar at the end to make bubbles to make the batter airy, pretty cool.

I also love homaid french fries. I like to cut super tiny french fries, make sure to dry off really well, then fry in batches, then when done refry them all together at the end to make them extra crispy.

Asian cooking double fries lots of things, especially chicken, to make crispier. It's kind of cool, because you can fry in batches, and then at the end do a quick fry so everything is hot all at once.

Sounds cool, I'm old school and just use a small pot and then strainer, LOL.

Also, I save all my soda cups with lids and then put the old grease in those, and put in plastic grocery bag and tie really tight, works really well.

I use a small pot to cook in as I'm usually just making for one or two, so that works well for me instead of big fryer.
