Okay for a second I swear I thought it said Flesh Fryer....

nothing like an artery clogger.

Big enough for a turkey? or just smaller stuff?

Deep frying makes anything taste better, even snickers bars. Buy this.

Boy! I feel fatter just thinking about this Woot!

Hey - "Saint Fatty's Day"! -- I resemble that remark!!

Wow, the description is effing hilarious. What do you really have to deep fry though?

any have one of these

oh man, that looks awesome. i really want some fries now

UNDER 30 DOLLARS FOR A HEART ATTACK, WHAT A STEAL!

Adjustable Temperature Control with settings from 300-375 degrees Fahrenheit

use it often and that'll be your weight

Soooo good but SUCHHHH A BAD IDEA!!!! Deep fried foods are horrible for you. But yummy

Be warned people who have not used a deep fryer at home before, they royally stink up your whole house and eventually leave a oily film on everything, your house will smell like mcdonalds for days

Shweet Much better than McDonalds.. I control the transfat.. But this seems a tad dangerious comparied to friers with based walls.. Any have experience?

HAH! It's got an Apple Magsafe power cord. Neato.
P.S. What's the best kind of oil for stuff like this?

i would end up burning my house down

i've been using an electric deep fryer for a while. suprisingly, deep frying adds *less* oil to food than pan frying, since the extra heat capacity in the oil forces the moisture out of the food as steam, preventing fat from penetrating.

alton brown had a good segment called "man food" covering this subject, i believe.

anyhow, deep frying let you make stuff that's impossible in a pan. and for $20 you can't go wrong.

One of the most tasty & unhealthy ways of cooking .. very tempting....

I only need a heart atack now. Fisrt woot says check your B/P then they said have a drink, now deep fry everything. So I said why not and bought one. Good night all Wooters

Moe: You can flash fry a buffalo in forty seconds.
Homer: Forty seconds. But I want it now!

This is ridiculous.......I wait up until 1 AM looking for some nifty computer thing to drool over, and I see a.....flash fryer? Seriously, America's fat enough.

I guess woot is just covering all fronts on the war for obesity: making sure people don't move, and making sure they eat lots of ridiculously fat food.....cooked quickly.

Hmmm... am I the only one who thought I saw "Ultrex Flesh Fryer when this was posted? Had to look twice... lol.

Ahhhh..... Finally, something to do those deep fried twinkies in

Can you say, "Heart Torpedo"?
I knew you could.

Holy crap!
If you live in Wisconsin like me, you should be all over this!!!!!!!!!!!

Peanut oil, high smokepoint and reusable. Careful if you're allergic though. Then you can use canola or safflower

is this what mcdonalds uses?

Err... bad times when a google search for the product returns the FIRST LINK from complaints.com. ;-(

www.complaints.com/directory/2005/july/7/35.htm

a bit small, but nice still. And yeah... if you're new to this sort of thing BE CAREFUL.

If only this wouldn't burn my dorm room down...and stink it up. Damn.
and I dont know if this thing is bigger than a Fry Daddy Jr. but they're only $17 at Target.

Measures approximately 10.25×9.25×9.25. That's the same dimension of my neighbor's cat that craps in my yard. Here kitty.

No so on the weight gain. I've been on Atkins for 2+ years and fry wings at least 3-4 times a week.

I'm down 100+ lbs and my Cholesterol is rather low. (was never high to begin with)

This Fryer looks small though...big enough for a doz. wings or so.

Peanut is good because it has a high smoke point, it's fairly stable when unrefrigerated, and mild flavor (it's not "peanutty" at all, just tastes like any neutral oil).

Tastey foods always are unhealthy..

Does it have a digital thermostat/ thermometer?

Ooh, hardened arteries! I'll take three.

it's got MagSafe! definitely mac compatible.
