Mine is metal. It's great for flipping burgers and such. I have a plastic double spatula that connects at the handles, but can come apart.

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?

They get so big when they cook!!! And yes they may float above, I still have to flip them. But of course very carefully!

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 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. --- Shepherds are the best beasts, but Labs are a close second. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeri Milton" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2013 10:54 PM Subject: Re: [CnD] Biscuit Doughnuts > Hi Charles. > So how do you do the flipping part of deep frying? that's the part > that makes me so nervous.
