Get a deep fryer. Mine takes about 3 quarts of oil. I always fry outside so my entire loft doesn't smell like fryer grease for weeks. Afterwards, I filter the cooled oil through cheese cloth on a strainer and store it in the fridge. I get 2-3 uses per gallon of oil, depending on what I fry, how hot I need it, and how long I keep it heated.
You cannot fry something in oil without a thermometer and you have to keep changing the temp to compensate (it cools when you first plunge the food, but it rapidly rises once the moisture starts boiling off). If the oil exceeds 400 F, you burn it and start to get a funky flavor, but more importantly you risk a grease fire.
So I never fry anything in oil without using the temperature controlled deep fryer. Food comes out better, it's safer, and my place doesn't stink like fast food for weeks.
//Edit: pics or it didn't happen. This is my Nashville hot chicken I fried a few weeks ago. Freshly baked bread too. Unfortunately I didn't do the pickles myself, but someday....
For $23 you don't have to just dream anymore. Or this one is good too.
Then you just follow a simple recipe for cake donuts.
I was worried about safety when my little brother started deep frying stuff so we bought this deep fryer.
Feels much safer as the oil is fully covered and the temp is controlled.
