Yes, that is a nice-looking gizmo. Can one adjust the heat level?
Yes, the knob on the right is the temperature, and the knob on the left is a timer. Being able to (hopefully) set a nice stable temperature is kind of the best part, for me. Though as I note, I think the thermostat might be running a bit hot. Next time I use it I'll check with a meat thermometer and adjust accordingly.
Also shrimp, squid and other marine creatures. Smelt.
Pro tip: if you're in the mood for donuts, and smelt, fry the donuts first and not the other way around. :0
Cool! I haven't looked for a deep fryer because I can't justify the cost or the storage space right now when the wok technique seems to be working just fine.
That's always been my thinking too. And I do still have to figure out the storage part. And also the not letting this make us fatter part.
