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.

Seamus, really!! That's a great toaster. Did you send-in for your cover yet??

Samantha, honey DON'T say it , I hear what you are think
Seamus:
I see that the toaster pictured does not have a plug attached, which I understand was std. practice in your neck of the woods for a time.
While I was vising London, someone said to me every English granny worth her salt is expected to know how to fit a plug. *LOL*
Apparently ring-circuits are the reason every Brit plug is fused. But that is a WHOLE other thread!
and now back to our regularly scheduled programme.....

Lack of plugs....
Hey Steve
Until approx 15 years ago only the odd appliance came with a fitted plug, the original reason for this was the number of non standard 2, 5, and 15A sockets that were still in use(although the standard 13A fused plug/socket was introduced in 48!).
As im sure you can imagine some people were much better at wiring plugs than others lol!!!!.
Factory fitted plugs were a compromise between the EU and the UK- originally it was suggested we adopted the Euro system, this was not recieved very well lol!!. The idea was shelved on the condition we had fitted plugs.
An interesting fact about the ring system is the original reason for its introduction. After the war there was a shortage of everything- including electric cable. The ring system uses less cable because each socket isnt wired right back to the consumer unit.

Anyone want to explain what a ring circuit is?
In AU it is normal practise to wire a string of power outlets, not wire each outlet back to the fuse box. Older regs: Each normal circuit had a 16A fuse and could have up to (I think) 3 power points on it. Each appliance is limited to 10 amps max.
Newer regs are: all standard circuits have a 16A breaker (not fuse) and all normal outlets also have an Earth Leakage breaker ("safety switch") so there is now no limit on the number of power points on a circuit, though most sparkies don't put more than about 5 outlets on a circuit to prevent frequent tripping of the breaker. Standard appliances are still limited to 10 amps each. Plugs are unfused.
