Some appliances provide a means to prepare a wide variety of foods. Consider the myriad possibilities for meals from the oven, stovetop, or even the microwave and it becomes apparent that their use in daily life is rich and varied. The flip side to that coin is that there are plenty of appliances that are capable of only doing one thing, such as deep-fry foods or keep a pot of fondue happily bubbling away. But when two features are combined, then the resultant fusion can lead to something more than the sum of its parts.

Fried food gets a bad rap, and not without reason. When ordering in a restaurant, french fries are often soggy and deep-fried fish can turn out greasy.

Nothing beats freshly cut french fries. Made with real potatoes (with the skins on, of course), the fried tubers are a delicious accompaniment to most any meal. Though not being known for being the healthiest of foods, one thing for certain is that making them for yourself you know exactly what goes into them. This is no small thing considering that homemade fries are completely and assuredly all natural. And when made properly, they aren't even necessarily unhealthy.

Like tortilla chips with a burrito, or soup with a sandwich, french fries served with a burger pair together perfectly. However, just because fries and a burger go so well together doesn't always mean I have one with the other. If I'm just making a burger for myself, chances are I'll pass on the fries all together--it's just not worth it to heat up a large vat of oil for a single meal. Therefore, as perfect as my burger may be, its complement is usually noticeably missing. (Still, sometimes I cheat and run down to the … Read more

Deep fryer's can be a lot of fun, but I've always held off picking one up. Aside from the obvious health implications of owning a device that turns anything and everything into a cardiologist's nightmare, the fact is, most deep fryers are just plain ugly. Boxy and almost always draped in stainless steel, deep fryers for home use give more than one reason to (by)pass on owning one. If deep-fried goodness I need, there are plenty of restaurants that are willing to serve it to me.
