YAY!!

Robert you find the coolest stuff!

Like Pete I'd be afraid to use it, but then again if not used, what good is it really?

I'm not much for onion rings, but I'll have some fries if you're making those sometime!
 
LUV estate sales.

That's why I LOVE estate sales. Was going to visit some today but had to wait for the UPS man.
NEW OLD STOCK! Gotta love it.
What I like to do is then take the ADDRESS from the appliance book and do a GOOGLE-EARTH to it. It's stupid fun to see if the factory is still there.
I once looked up a radio manufacturer from the 1930s and found that their factory was in the middle of a nearby hotel's parking lot!
 
Love it Robert! Brand new!
Mom had a deep fryer, but only used it a few times. She said that the price of the oil made it to costly to use, plus it was hard to clean. When cleaned out their house to sell in 1998, we found the deep fryer on a shelf in the basement. Think it went to the Goodwill store with some other stuff.
 
Latest new finds

I agree with what Jeff said...you always find the best stuff up there, I'm envious! Never have I seen anything vintage and boxed at an estate sale down here...at least not as of yet.

This makes your what, 4th or 5th NIB appliance you've found over the years? ;-)
 
Robert you do find the best stuff! What time is dinner, some good fried chicken would be great!!!
 
Heart Attack on a Plate

My grandmother gave us a deepfryer when I was a kid. We lived on a farm and butchered our own pigs. Mom used lard for frying, that was a by product of the pig. On fry nights we would first make dougnuts, then Pronto Pups (corn dogs) and finish with french fries, because potatoes are supposed to absorb the impurities of the grease. In later years, onion rings were added to the mix. At Christmas time we used it to make Rosettes. It was no wonder I grew up as a morbidly obese child.

What time is dinner?

I bet you could make some really tasty fried chicken in that.

What a nice find. Do you know what year it is?

Best Fried Chicken - Three Words

Wearever Chicken Bucket

Nuf said! *LOL*

Nice find there Robert! It amazes me how so many appliances back in those days pulled so much power, yet did not have grounded plugs. Also how amazing how unsafe some of those heat/cooking appliances could be by today's standards. My vintage Wearever "Ovenette" when in use at not only becomes so hot the lid singes oven mits (even the black knob on top designed for lifting the cover), but the cord as well. Can imagine many a housewife and probably a wee child got some nasty burns from these appliances.

Personally like to keep vintage MIB chrome appliances un-used for as long as possible. Once they see regular action, especially cookers despite regular careful attention they start to soil and stain.

That is HOT!

Don't forget me when you have your Crisco Party.
Crisco Deep Fried Fried Chicken that is! And I Helped!

and Remember "Crisco is Now So Digestible You Can Serve Fried Food Seven Nits a Week!

Yes this is fun. Over the years I do find the occasional MIB item and this find was $8. Austin this is probably the 15th or so MIB item I found over the past 12 years. While I almost never use my MIB items, this one being an off brand (not a Sunbeam) I probably will use and try. After a typical work week of tomatoes and fat free cottage cheese, I'm ready for some deep fried food by Friday night. While there is no date anywhere on the stuff that came with it I would date this early to mid 1950's. Pete good catch, the Presto pamphlet was mixed in there with the rest of the items in the envelope for some reason.

Clearasil Greg, Really!
 
Peanut oil is streets ahead of Crisco for deep frying as it can withstand long periods of high temperatures without breaking down. Long as one is not allergic to nuts, it would be my choice.

Personally aside from butter (which one uses carefully), I adhere to the advice of not consuming substances which are stable solids at room temperature.

Oh don't listen to Laundress, (LOL).

Actually, go to any Indian grocery store and pick up some coconut oil (solid white at room temp) or even some palm oil (any hesitation here and I would recommend the class review the movie "Dona Flor and her two Husbands"). Possibly the best freakin' french fries you'll ever eat. You won't live long afterward, maybe, but it' quality of life, not quantity.

Let me know, by the way, if you want my recipe for Philadelphia World's Fair doughnuts fried in Coconut Oil. And if any of you AW'ers ever get to New York City, make a bee-line down to lower Delancey street to the Doughnut Plant--honest to god the best doughnuts I've ever tasted outside of Germany. And right next store is a bakery that makes some of the best bialy's in the city. Ok, I have to go now and measure my blood sugar.
 
Here in WI Friday's are when anyone and everyone goes out for a fish fry. Now Robert and Neal can stay at home and have their own fish fry. A true WI fish fry consists of either deep-fried haddock or cod, french fries or potato salad, cole slaw, and a couple slices of buttered rye bread. It evolved because about 1/2 of our population is Catholic, hence fish on Fridays.
 
OMG... I love when churchs hold dinners and such. Esp. when my man is at work.. There are several churchs around here that hold such dinners and I love them. Esp. the catholic fish frys and the mormans spagetti and salad.. Yum-O... They don't expect you to become a member its more so for fund raising purposes i guess but its a weekly thing. I think the spagetti one supports a pre school for underprivilaged moms.
 
Ooohhh ... that is nice, Robert!

But ... it could be MORE than just a fryer; it's a "cooker", too!

Just think ... you can make some HEALTHY beef stew, or a nice stewed chicken with rice, or a pot of homemade chili!!

But then ... I vote for the onion rings and corn dogs! :-) That's a heck of a lot more fun. :-)
