Yes. (ornery grin) Actually, I have seen double spatulas made of metal and
of plastic.

What I used to do instead of flipping stuff over in the fryer was to hole
the item down with the ladle instrument that you take the food out of the
unit with, and it also drains the grease.
Speaking of the double spatulas, are they metal or plastic?

Hi Jeri
I have a deep fryer that only makes the doughnuts one at a time. They get
so
big when they cook!!! And yes they may float above, I still have to flip
them. But of course very carefully! Lol

I have one of those spatulas too. You're right about not crowding the
basket
too much. I guess I just need to experiment and figure out what works best
for me. I would be afraid of flipping something that I already flipped.
Does
everything need to be flipped? Can you drop something in the grease, put
the
lid on and then just time it without having to flip it?

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.
Jeri
