Deep Fryer Good or Bad?

There was several years ago, maybe fifteen. My boyfriend (now my EX boyfriend -thanks Lord-) told me that his mother used to put on the deep fryer both potatoes and hamburguers, and in five minutes... "ABRACADABRA, the dinner is ready!". It seemed easy. But it seemed unhealthy! Let's think for a while...

Looing back: Why didn't I liked deep fryers:
1/Unhealthy!!! Too much fat on my plate.
2/Dangerous!!! Temperature too much high.
3/Expensive!!! Too much oil needed.
4/Boring!!! Always same oil, always same taste.

Looking forward: why do I WANT a deep-fryer now:
1/Healthy!!! Basket for draining away the fat.
2/Secure!!! Self-controlling thermostate.
3/Cheap!!! Oil filtration system, oil clean, can use it more than one time.
4/Funny!!! Now it is possible to use different seed oils and play with several tastes.

Conclusion: world had changed, and I hadn't realized!!! It was a bad idea before, but right now I think a deep-fryer is a good tool in every kitchen. Let's buy one!!!
