Anyone have any suggestions on good deep fryers??

Never bought one before and I wasn't sure what brands are best.

Welcome aboard, FoodieNews!

I love my DeLonghi D455D2 dual zone. It's great on all accounts except one: does not heat the oil over 360 degrees (I like higher for my chicken wings) but otherwise and for everything else - it's super!

Do perform a seach as advised, though. There are lots of pros and cons to these things. Best to be well informed when purchasing.

Promise to use the search function, not a newbie to message boards just a newbie to Cheftalk. Should have known better.

Will take a look at the DeLonghi D455D2 tonight.

It is difficult to tell without knowing what your requirements are:

Is it for a home or commercial use?
How many meal do you serve?
What are you going to fry?
Are you looking for gas or electric?

Alton Brown has tested them and made a suggestion. You can try his books or website. I'd trust Alton!
