Takes the fear out of frying with a foolproof explanation and a universally loved snack as your reward.

Tip

Even if you like to deep-fry a lot, there’s no need to invest in an expensive appliance. Just buy a thermometer designed to clip to the side of your pot and register up to 400°F. Adjust the heat to keep the oil steady at about 365°F, even as you add and remove food from the pot.
