I've got one of those double spatulas that are sort of hinged together. I
can reach in and grab a doughnut and turn it. I would only fry a few at a
time rather than crowd the basket. It's easier to keep track of where they
are that way.

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?

Any deep fryer that has 1 or 2 baskets that can be lowered from the
outside
of the fryer will be safe for a blind person. 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.

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? I know deep frying is
possible to do; I just have never had enough nerve to try!

Hi Mike. Well, this is what I KNOW ABOUT FRYING BISCUIT DOUGH FOR YUMMY
GREACY DOUGHNUTS.
Use a can of Pillsbury biscuit dough or even an off brand canned biscuit
dough. Just use the simple kind, not the extra flakey or extra buttery or
anything like that. If you want doughnuts with holes we use a lid off a
water bottle to cut a hole in the center of each biscuit, then set the
holes
aside for frying later. We don't have a deep fryer, so my husband put
enough
oil in a deep skillet, about an inch and a half deep. Get the oil nice
and
hot until it's bubbling. You can drop a little pinch of the dough into
the
hot oil to check for temperature. We didn't use a thermometer. Drop the
biscuits into the hot oil and let fry about twenty seconds on each side.
Remove from the hot oil and let drip dry on a cookie sheet lined with
paper
towels. Roll into a cinnamon and sugar mixture while still hot, or
powdered
sugar. Chocolate would even be yummy.
Sorry if this isn't a great description of how to do it. As you've
probably
read I personally don't like to deep fry. But, if you aren't afraid to do
it, I'm sure it will work out great and probably much easier if you have
a
deep fryer with a basket in it. But trust me, they are so good! Wish I
had
one right now.
