Thanks guys.

I've never done deep frying before, so this will be a fun kitchen adventure.

Cooks Illustrated says that the electric deep fryers aren't worth it, and recommends just using a dutch oven. If anyone's curious, based on their recommendations and some other sources, I picked up a bunch of stuff for deep frying:

A Lodge Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0039UU9UE

A Lodge Deep Fry Basket: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000050AV6

A thermometer: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EHNH3JC

A 13-Inch Splatter Screen: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004RFJR

A gallon of peanut oil: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A2A7LBE

Strainers to help recycle the oil after use: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001UFQBAM


Decided to try peanut oil because of it's high smoke point (450°F), and I like peanuts, so if it imparts any flavor, that's ok!

I really like the company Thermoworks. I have the other cooking thermometer from Thermoworks that's cheaper, and love it, but it's max temperature is only 392°F. The one above is 572°F.

The splatter screen above is recommended by Cooks Illustrated because it's fine grained enough to actually keep the splatter contained, and apparently many others aren't.

Cooks Illustrated also recommends putting your used oil in the freezer to keep it fresh between uses.

As I said, never done this before, so happy to hear other thoughts and suggestions!

>I can't taste the peanut in peanut oil and I can't taste the olive in olive oil, it all just tastes like oil.

At least in terms of peanut oil, this is because the peanut flavor has been refined out during processing. Spectrum does a really good unrefined peanut oil, however, that has quite a noticeable peanut flavor. I like using it for peanut chicken!

As for olive oil, most tend to be blends - the best I've personally found is California Olive Ranch brand, their EVOO - while it doesn't taste like OLIVES - has a very distinctive, spicy flavor.
