Deep Fryers

Yes we do.

Wifey uses the same Fry-Daddy that we use at home.
It's been on many trips with us.

She makes taco shells mostly but we have been known to make French Fries and Tater Tots in there too!

We only use this outside.
I set up a small folding table for her and I run an extension cord from the CG power pedestal for her to use.

We also use an electric skillet.
We cook outdoors as much as we can.

Dang you Donn0128!!

Did you have to mention Pan Fried Chicken!!!!

Well time to throw the 12" cast Iron in the 5er, then ask DW to cook it up. DW has a large kitchen in the 5er and loves to cook, and I don't mind cleaning up after wards.

Yum!!! Pan Fried chicken, my dad loved to cook it, and I surly love to eat it!!

Years ago we camped with another couple and he deep fried chicken over an open fire. Somewhere he had found about a 18inch square pan with 4 inch sides that would hold two gallons of oil. As long as he did not drink too much the chicken turned out perfect. But if he got too drunk, look out! Lots of beautiful looking but raw chicken would show up on your plate.

There's always an electric frypan, an electric crockpot, and depending on where we are going a small deepfryer in everyone of our RV's including the TC. Even if boondocking we have electric with a 2000 watt plus generator or using the inverter off the pattery bank. Crockpot is always run off the inverter when we don't have shorepower beacuse it draws so little and is on for 4 to 6 hours and who wants to listen to a generator running that long?

For greasy or smelly cooking like bacon, fish, cut up fryers. etc they are done outside on the patio as we have a removable shelf on the side of the TT and the 5th wheel for the grill and the frypan. We always also have a foldup plastic top table that's carried under the bed to use if we want for out away from the RV. Some boondocking areas do not even have picnic tables but for us, who cares? We are truely self-contained as we are always prepared!

With our TC's, on the neat rear porch I built (I've built 4 different porches now for our various RV's owned) the first being in 2002 that goes into the hitch extension tube. They have a support cable going to the TC rear electric jack bracket so they are very solid when stepping onto. On the driver's side of the porch, I have a fancy storage box with a hinged cover. The box, 22 X 24 X 14 has a cover that is larger than the box below and is hinged gasket weather sealed and it's top is covered with exterior type Formica so the sun/weather doesn't ruin it. 11 years later, the Formica still looks like new as does the "C" channel aluminum molding that's wrapped all around the table's edge holding the Formica down tight. I can't contact glue the Formica to the plywood because I always multi-coat the plywood first with Thompson's waterproofing first so it wont soak up water and rot. It a perfect self-contained table top for snacks/orderves, eating, or grilling or the electric frypan. I also have a 24 X 36 bi-fold table that extends from the box/porch if wanted. It stores bungeed behind the box. Fantastic way to have your cake and eat it on the very long RV trips to Alaska and other couple month laing trips with the TC when you are traveling on the road so much of the time.

NO grease, smell, or water vapor buildup in the RV. Cleanup is a couple minutes max and the grease from cooking is a great fire starter too along with the waste paper and packaging etc normally thrown in the garbage. win win win...

i use the coleman propane skillet. dedicated breakfast cooker away from the tt.

If we preplan frying while on a trip, a 20 year old Hamilton Beach Fry All (miniature electric fryer with a basket) -- just the right size for 2 people!

Otherwise, a 14" Circulon mini-wok.

Cast Iron Skillet on the coleman stove.
We let the grease cool and put it in coffee containers and then to the dumpter once we are done with it.

We have a larger deep fryer with basket for when we are doing large groups that we bring from home. It stores grease in the unit like the fry daddy but we usually let it cool and put it back into a plastic jug with a lid for safe traveling and less chance of spillage during travel. We only bring it if we are going to have a large fish fry or be doing a bunch of french fries or fried chicken.

We carry a Fry Daddy Jr. with us for those occasions when it's called for. It normally travels packed in a plastic bag stowed in our under the bed storage area.

Kids gave us a 'Cool Daddy' last Christmas.
My wife loves it. Uses it on trips and at home.

On trips, we fish, so it is a necessity to fry those fish.

The only thing that gets fried while camping is bacon....and that is done outside in a skillet.

I found this skillet at a store while traveling.
It's a "deep well" electric skillet with a lid...that stays attached when opened!

AND.....the best part is you can do all the cooking OUTSIDE THE RV.

I've made everything from stews, soups, braising and it does a great job of grilling meats and breakfast bacon and eggs. No more splattering all over the inside of the MH.

I threw out all the frying pans. This replaces them all for me. :C
