French Fry Diary 127: The Healthiest Deep Fryer on Earth

While some of the Health Nazis might say that the ‘healthiest deep fryer on earth’ would be no deep fryer at all, the folks at Hammacher Schlemmer have come up with this – simply called the Healthiest Deep Fryer.

This kitchen appliance miracle cooks up to two pounds of French fries with just one tablespoon of oil. A simple concept, it is a convection oven that spins the spuds and lets the hot air cook them. The end product is those crispy on the outside, soft and hot on the inside fries that regular deep fryers make so well.

The bad news is, of course, the price tag. This baby lists for a mere $300.

Nice, but I'll stick with my Rival CF156 deep fryer. Maybe not so healthy, but it makes fantastic fries.

French Fry Diary 126: The French Fry Knife

Okay, yeah, I'm calling it a French Fry Knife, but it's really a Traditional Cheese Knife from Cutco.

Despite anything bad that might be said about the folks at Cutco, they make damn good knives. We bought a sandwich spreader and two steak knives from my nephew that have yet to be equaled. If they weren't so darned expensive, we'd gladly buy more. Yeah, they're that good.

My wonderful sister-in-law thought of me when she was being sold on some of the Cutco merchandise. When the Traditional Cheese Knife was described as being great for cutting potatoes for French fries, she was sold. Thanks, Amy, can't wait to try it out!
