For some strange reason we seem too get through kettles at quite an astonishing rate. Our latest lasted just over a year 23-03-06 :-(
So as the Mrs put the plastic deep fat fryer on the grille then promptly put the gas on we need to double up on a spend..
So a rapid boil S.S is ideal but any recommendations??
(the D.F.F I couldn't care too much what it looks like...)
Cheers

We have a Kenwood DFF, which has served us pretty well. Nice thing is that virtually all of it can go in the dishwasher....lid (with filter), casing, basket, fat pan (with embedded element), outer casing... only the little power/thermostat pod is not machine washable.
Has she been "examined" lately by men in white coats? ;-)
You ought to try an ordinary kettle on the stove then as she likes the flame effect ;-))
See here....

Our Breville 3.1kw from Morrisons has lasted several years, not bad for GBP 15. 3.1kw is the most you can get out of a 13 amp plug I would not go back to lower power ones.
Alternatively a traditional kettle to put on the gas/electric ring lasts for ever.

We have a Chip pan works fine, fill it 1/3 full of beef dripping and you are away. We inherited ours, not sure if you can still buy them. The market has been taken over by DFFs which are IMO nothing like as good
For some more ideas uk.food+drink.misc is thataway >>>>>>>>>>>>
But are significantly less likely to set the house on fire - chip pans along with smoking the most common cause of house fires.

Get a simple stainless steel kettle and use that on the gas.
Save money and your health by consigning the deep fat fryer to the garbage and don't bother to buy another. Reduce your fire risk as well. These things are the spawn of the devil.

Only if one is careless, or drunk.
Do they have extra large size lard pans and deep fat fryers in Scotland in order to fit in the pizzas? I guess that Mars bars are OK in the standard sized ones.
All it takes is a moment when someone comes to the door or the phone rings and the fryer on the cooker goes right out your head as it can do so very very easily ..
One would have to be pretty careless to entertain the idea of buying and using one of these things in the first place.
Over 8000 fires a year, over 30 deaths and nearly 3000 injuries. That's just from the fire hazard and before taking the health hazard into account
No.
On of our service engineers lived next door to a neighbour with borderline dementia, she put the chip pan on the stove and went out looking for the dog.
The wind slammed the door shut behind her ...

The big pizzas are folded in half before being fried. Haven't you heard of calzoni?

There's a Knock knock joke in there somewhere
Cheers

There deserves to be doesn't there ?
But it's all arse about face. The old biddy's knocking on her own door from the ouside trying to get in and the chip pan's not saying "who's there".
She was just lucky he was a service engineer and had his favourite tools in the car.
Especially the big hammer.

Was in our local fish and chippy the other day... in walks a small group of teenage girls - rather sheepishly one produces a Mars bar from her pocket and asks for it to be battered! This obviously happens frequently enough that none of the staff seemed to "react" in any way... (other than dipping it in batter, frying it and returning it to her a couple of mins later). Apparently they don't even charge for the service!
I'd have pulled out a large club hammer and flattened the sugary muck.
I don't think I've been in one of those places for over 30 years...
Apart from Rick Stein's maybe?
You're kidding. If I was going to go to Padstow, I'd go for the Seafood Restaurant.
The idea of being able to choose the fish before cooking certainly appeals. This is possible in many other countries but not generally in the UK - probably a residual effect of our poor food culture until recent years.

Our kitchen Smoke Alarm works fine, it objects to over brown toast, and meat on the grill slightly overdone, so should the Chip Pan overheat which it has not done for **forty** years it will go off and prevent serious problems.
