- now you're scaring me. I'm just gonna dip it into the oil, I think. -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 5, 15:04 12
  - it should be a standard household emergency item. 1 in the kitchen, one in the master bedroom -- nm - peglegpete Jan 5, 15:22 5
    - I haven't owned one since my drag racing days. -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 5, 15:24 4

  - never deep fry without an extinguisher nearby! -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 15:16
  - ah, deep pot for 10 minutes; I'll pick up a fire extinguisher while I'm out....lol - CrankYanker Jan 5, 15:08 4
    - When you drop it in, that oil's gonna bubble up like crazy. I'd say the pot needs to be deep enough that the oil shouldn't come up more - MojaveMeg Jan 5, 15:11 3
      - That's a lot of oil for a deep pot! -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 5, 15:12 2
        
        You need enough oil to just cover the onion - but the pot should be twice that deep. This is one reason I don't deep fry anything - too much oil. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jan 5, 15:22
        
        you can probably filter & re-use it -- nm - peglegpete Jan 5, 15:21
ok, big pot, no gas - electric. -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 5, 15:02
