Please please everyone handle cooking oil with extreme care, for those who missed my thread about my niece's burns to her foot, from just a small amount of cooking oil, I am going to post the pictures again to let you be fully aware of just how bad this can be, warning they are not for the light stomached, I only wish to do so, as I am really worried one of my PT friends will get hurt, one has to be extremely careful.

My advice is to limit how often you use cooking oil and turn to low fat options like cooking spray, far less chance of an accident happening.

I finally got my Deep Frier back. I've been having french fries for 3 days now hehehe.. I even had fun with it & put in a Pizza Pop. It was yummy, but I wont be doing it again (too unhealthy hehe).. I even went & bought a new bag of potatos & made more fries for dinner hehehe.

I'm so HAPPY now that I can safely make fries. The deep Frier is a special safety one. Its extra deep & had a snapped on lid with a filter (hasn't been one in there for years, its a discontinued modle, so they are sold out).

Now I just have to filter the oil cause some of the potato skins have fallen off & burnt in the oil. SO it looks kinda gross in there, but smells good

I always had a problem what to do with the oil afterwards. I think I used to refrigerate it but it was too yukky to reuse.I'd rather have McDonalds do the work!

If I must eat fried food I'd rather buy it already cooked, burns are horrible and I also have my cat to think about.

We've always just left the oil in the Deep Frier. When it look gross its filtered & reused. If it goes below the low line, then I just add more oil.
