leechlake Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I've been pretty good this year or at least for me. I've been pondering my list for Santa and since it seems I have a lot of cooking and preparing stuff I don't have many needs. I have eye spied one item I'd like to add to my tools:Indoor Turkey Fryerwith all the dogs we have I quit using my outdoor fryer so nobody gets hurt. Any other good ideas you guys have on your list. If you've been bad coal can be a positive if you have a Weber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prov1900 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Im pretty set on most outdoor cooking stuff. A stand alone 2 sided fish fryer would be nice and something that would be put to good use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picksbigwagon Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 anyone here have a Fryin' Saucer? I almost pulled the trigger on one at the Blaine Ice fishing show in november, BUT my wife said the show "price" was the same as amazon, and the guy selling was not making any deals. Just wondering how easy it is to fry fish with this thing? Super bowl sunday last year, I stood in my garage frying fish for 11 people for almost an hour, 4-6 pieces of perch a pan on my coleman propane stove and my 5 qt. cast iron chicken fryer. I know it won't make frying fish faster, but how many perch sized fillets can you fit in your fryin' saucer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABS4ME Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 A friend of mine has a Fryin Saucer at his pheasant hunting farm in SoDak. Just used it last week. Thought they were. A joke, but nope! Pretty slick little cooker. We made pheasant fingers. Fried up 6 or so at a time, put them on the saucer when done... Stayed warm and crispy while we fried more.... Grease drains back in to the bowl... Good Luck!Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerminator Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 A "good" 8 inch chef's knife is on my list. In fact, I told the misses its all I really want or need given the price of a good one. That and a zippo hand warmer but that's not really a cooking tool. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye43 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I bought a Frying Saucer 6 years ago, love it. We have fried an ice pail full of fish, 5 qts in less than a hour. Staked them around the out side and than pigged out. It was one of the best buys ever. I like to get a new Leech Lake Knife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBo Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I love my Frying Saucer and use it all the time at the lake, but think for big groups a large size deep fryer is a better idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otterman91105 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I have owed one four about six years. Love this thing easy to set up you don't need a lot of oil and the clean up is quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCampbell Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Always used charcoal grills.Love all the work put in to each meal.Any who,on zee list is:1) May add a gas grill to the deck,for the family of course. We grill anything from fruit,veg & meat.Been hooked on my 24 hr marinade recipes for a long time.Like I said I only used charcoal so it would be a while before I get used to monitoring food on a gas grill.2)Would be nice to have some extra pans for marinading.Some bigger ones for the ribs.I usually have company over when I make them so I have to cut the racks to fit them in two pans so an extra pan or two would be a help alot.3)A good rotisserie has always been on the list but I think Il wait for the gas grill to get here first then I can tinker later with that.I have one for my charcoal but It's not working order anymore.

delcecchi Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 search for "hotel pans" on amazon, or check kitchen supply stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderLund78 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I echo ALL the good things said about the Frying Saucer... I bought it last year at the sports show. I wont lie, by the time I got to my car, I thought, "Man, I'm a sucker." But it's the best thing I've bought in a while. If you're just doing panfish or perch, you can probably get 6-8 fillets in the there at a time - so not big batches. But the time you save on heating the oil and the clean up make it MUCH more efficient. Plus, if you have the time, it keeps it all warm for you while the grease drains way. So do a batch, pull them up on the side and start the next one. I usually find that the company hovers around, just like you're carving a turkey and starts to pluck off the filets as their done. It's very conducive to cooking and socializing.Back to the original topic, On my list this year is a meat grinder and slicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
