deep fat fryer

[rachelsdad]

what is the best way of cleaning a deep fat fryer ?

How many letters? Seriously though, perhaps you'd be better off asking under 'food and drink' - best of luck; it's not a job I'd fancy...

elbow grease and astonish

and I am astonished to answer a question about cleaning at this time of day or any time of day at that. Quizzes are much more fun

The best way is to con someone else into doing it for you.

I suppose you mean the dried stuff that gets on the outside? Well that depends on if you mean generally or from my point of view and also on how dirty it is,
From my point of view it is to ignore the wife's complaints about the ''state of it'' until she gets so fed up she does it herself.
But if I give up first and do it, generally I use a tile/floor degreaser and let it soak in for a while which softens it up and then it is down to hard work with various tools to scrape it off.

Get rid of the oil by pouring it into an old bottle and put the bottle in the bin.

Clean the inside of the fryer with lots of kitchen towell.
