I've never seen one of these before. It's sort of UFO meets crematory urn, but in a nice way. Maybe this weekend I'll fire it up and fry some chicken.

So where is the money shot?
NICE catch!
Is the inside SS or aluminum?
How about a frying basket, didja get one of those, "gift with purchase?"

My Great Aunt had that fryer and made the best fried chicken I ever tasted. She used it for decades.
Cool!
I've only ever seen that model in vintage kitchen design photos. Definitely one of the most shapely of the deep-fryers. Let us know how the fry test goes!!

That is a nice design. I'm thinking it sort of matches the 1959 Westinghouse Spoutless percolator, where's my pic of that when I need it.

says that fat used to fry protein...fish, chicken, chicken fried steak should only be used once.
However, fat used to fry carbs, like french fried potatoes or doughnuts may be strained and used up to four times.
I also had a great aunt who had one of these, but it went to her younger daughter. I got a Limoges demitasse instead.

Gasp - I found one of those in a box that had been in long-term storage recently! Near-mint one, too...
Here's the perk, sorta the same shape,, different script for W'house though

My parents...
....had 2 of those westinghouse perculators. One was a wedding present in 1965 and the other was bought at an opp shop to take down the coast..
My father killed the original one when he washed the pot in the sink....silly man

Lost a bid on ebay once.
Wanted one of those. Bid furiously on Ebay and lost. Hmmm I just wonder if it was... ONE OF YOU!!
So be it. The next one I see at an estate sale is MINE ALL MINE!
