Hi Charles. So how do you do the flipping part of deep frying? that's the part that makes me so nervous. I tend to want to use my left hand to sort of feel what I'm doing when I cook, and my right hand to do the stirring or say flipping scrambled eggs or something. I don't think using my hand to feel what I'm doing would be a good idea when deep frying. So, how do you do it?

A locking lid is also preferable, and one that stays relatively cool to the touch on the outside is really good. The one I have does get fairly warm on the outside, but is safe to use. I don't remember the brand or model off hand, though. --- Shepherds are the best beasts, but Labs are a close second. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Debbra Piening" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2013 9:59 AM Subject: Re: [CnD] Biscuit Doughnuts > For those who have deep fryers, is there a particular deep fryer that > you've > found to work well for you as a blind person?
