    This is always my concern. Actually frying something takes minutes, but heating, cooling, straining, and storing significant volumes of oil just doesn’t justify the convenience. If I want fried food, I’m going to a restaurant.

      Bought a deep fryer a couple years back, once you’re done with it, and let it cool down. You can turn a knob and it will filter itself and empty into a storage container. Once the oil has gone bad, I have a Home Depot bucket with a lid that I dump it into, once that is full I take it to the dump. Once the filtered bits are dumped in the compost, everything else goes in the dishwasher.

      I fry in peanut oil, I have 2 air fryers but some things need to be deep fried.

      I bought a deep fryer for $100ish. Makes it easy. Turn it on, come back 10minutes later, cook food for 4 minutes and then eat. It is a removed to clean though but depends on how thorough you want to be.

          It heats, cools, you can buy one with automatic filtering, and it stores the oil. That’s literally all the complaints they had?

        My ex had a nice one that he used about once a week. Made his kitchen smell like fast food after a few months. I’d like to have one except for that

          I do it on a little table outside my back door. It definitely stinks up the house otherwise. My fryer has a little lid that you can put on it after the oil cools. You can reuse the oil a bit depending on what you’re cooking.
