Honestly this.
I've been using a frydaddy jr. recently and it's basically just a bucket with a fill line on the inside that heats up to 350F (you almost never need any other temperature) when you plug it in, and has a handle and a lid so you can store the oil in it.
I like to deep fry far more than I should, and this thing is bare bones, all you really need. When I move I'll probably buy a full sized version, because the jr. is just about as big as it needs to be for two people.

Sorry, I don't buy any products with the word "daddy" in it.

Quit being a bitch made faggot

Flush it

If you filter it and store it properly it should last awhile (one of the reasons I like the frydaddy is that you can easily keep the oil in it). When it goes off pour it into a bottle/jar with a lid and put it in the trash.
>>7888920
Throw it in the street after your chamber pot my good man.
>>7888920
Is there a problem sir?
>>7888955
This. Just dump it off your balcony or whatever. Bonus points if you dump it while it's still hot and pretend you're fending off an invading army at your gates.
>>7888808
Follow the included instruction manual to the t, especially concerning when to change the oil. Holy fuck, for the love of god, do not shrug off changing the oil.
>>7888890
Pour it in an empty can, seal it, throw it in the trash
>>7888890
Not sure if this is actually serious, because frankly a lot of complete dumbfucks post here, but pouring grease down the sink will eventually completely fuck up your plumbing.
Anyone want to chime in with some things they like to make in a deep fryer besides french fries and chicken wings?
>>7892406
hotdogs, butter, ramen, cornflakes, icecubes
>>7892406
if I had a fryer I would try to make tendies out of everything. beef, pork, turkey, duck. why is it only chicken that gets made into tendies? I would want to find out.
>>7892975
I was gonna meme on you, but I bet some county fair did try and sell deep-fried ice
>>7892406
churros
fresh ones are godtier
>>7892406
pakora, arancini
>>7892406
Egg rolls.
>>7893205
I've seen Japanese dishes where vegetables are deep-fried, other than seafood.
There aren't many foods that you can cook normally that can't also be deep fried.
>>7888890
>how do you guys dispose of the oil
By cranking the heat up to 11 and letting it burn away.
>>7888890
Dont listen to the dumbasses asking you to chuck it down a sink. They arent gonna foot your plumbing bills.
Just keep the oil bottles that you used, and funnel it right back in when you're done with it. Chuck the whole bottle in general waste.

>why is it only chicken that gets made into tendies?
It's not. People deep fry everything. Steak fingers, crabs, fish, shrimp, veggies (ever hear of temupura?), you name it. The scottish even deep fry whole pizzas.
Isn't it only natural fat that ruins plumbing?
Canola and corn oil just become more viscous when they cool down. They don't solidify.

Tortilla and potato chips
Dumplings/gyoza
tempura
shrimp, fish, clams, crabs, squid (calamari)
egg rolls, spring rolls, taquitos, flautas
stuffed mushrooms
hush puppies
croquettes
Monte Cristo sandwich
making crispy garnishes for soups or salads
it's also handy for making stir-fries. there are many Chinese recipes in which some of the ingredients are lightly deep-fried to keep their shape before they go into the wok. And for American-style chinese like General's Chicken the meat is battered and fried before being stir-fried with the sauce.

>They don't solidify.
Lol, you've never cleaned out a grease trap before, have you? They most certainly do solidify once you are talking about used oil that has food particles and such in it. Also, in most places it gets cool enough during the winter that the oil will solidify simply based on temperature.
>>7893671
For the purposes of plumbing clogs there is no appreciable distinction.
>>7893678
There actually is. Oil like a fryer uses doesn't solidify unless at freezing temperatures.
>>7893754
Believe what you want, bro. Just remember that when the plumber's bill arrives.
