I used a Coleman stove and dutch oven for years, then went to electric deep fryer, and now bought one of these.....
The outdoor propane double burner is also what i use with two dutch ovens. One for the fish and one for the fries, onion rings and hush puppies. Also have two single models if I'm cooking for a large group.
NuWave Induction Cooktop PIC (cook 6-9-1300 watts so you can even use a Honda 1000 on a boat).
The best thing IMO is pick the above up at Home Depot for $87 and get to it. Whatever temp you set to fry at it stays at it - no messing around - no waiting. Ours has lasted 6 years and we use it daily.
Thanks for the recommendation. Bought one of these last week. Tried it on crappie Sunday. Works great. Holds cooking oil temp just as you said. Also works well for simmering soups/stews.
You're welcome. It just makes it so easy and holds the temp spot on. After 40 years, I finally learned a new trick.
I bought a small commercial electric fryer off of Amazon for $99. It has 2 separate vats and elements. Each Vat holds about 1.5 gal of oil. It works good for frying fish for a few people or a bunch. It has 2 separate thermostats that can be st up to 400 degrees. The only downside I've found with it is it uses a ton of power. You cant plug both elements into the same electric outlet or it will throw a breaker. You can only use a commercial grade extension cord or the cord will overheat.
