Deep fat fryers. Why....
....does the fat used in them turn into the stickiest substance known to man, (since Toxteth O'Grady produced the world's stickiest bogie in the Young Ones)?

Oven chips I can do with some meals, but they just don't do it with bacon, eggs, sausages, mushrooms, etc.

Deepio. In fact, if you drain the fat from the fryer, fill it with water and mix Deepio in, once up to the boil, it does a great job of degreasing th e fryer.

Nooooo - you don't have chips with a fry up - fried bread, black pudding, tomatoes maybe but not chips

Use ANIMAL FAT such as lard or dripping instead of vegetable oil. The chips taste better and it doesn't go sticky.

I've got about 40 litres of pure lard from roasting pigs. If you want some, you can have some!

Lard is much healthier than the fry-oil stuff. Fact.

Beats me how all these kitchen cleaners that "cut right through the grease" won't even TOUCH the oil once it goes sticky.

Ours too, but again, they just wouldn't go with fried eggs.

The heat required for decent chips will burn olive oil.
Try "Oven Pride/BBQ Pride" on a brush but make sure it's used in a well vented area. The basket and bits can go in the bag. It's fu*king mental stuff if you get it on your hand or bare skin, so wear the gloves provided.

Oven Pride doesn't even come close to Oven Mate. Even after pressure washing it off the hog roast oven, with gallons of water, it cleaned the slabs it drained on to and killed off a patch of nettles that had previously been immune to the strongest weedkiller I could get my hands on!

I buy the cheapest fryers I can find from whatever supermarket has them on promo and when it gets too manky I just bin it and get a new one. Probably doesn't break even cost-wise versus buying cleaning products but it saves a hell of a lot of time and effort.
