    Cast iron is the king of deep frying.
    You don't have to submerge chimichangas. They end up floating anyway

      That is good to know. I think my DO and frying basket would do a much better job than my original skillet so that’s all I need!

    I use the Lodge cast iron combo cooker (3.3 quart LCC3) for my deep frying. It's also awesome when baking a loaf of bread and when braising/simmering stuff like stews and chili verdes

      I use dutch ovens or a deep set pan. It works great. When I am at home i just use the deep fryer, but while camping the cast iron pans work great.

        +1 on dutch oven. Used it a few days ago for coconut shrimp. I also have a splatter guard. I drape it over the D.O. As far as cleanup, it's a breeze. My wife does it.

          FWIW , here is the original skillet. Good for the chicken parmesan but subpar for anything more substantial like English fish & chips or chimichanga as y’all have pointed out.

                I had to go look to make sure of the pricing. I picked up 2 Wagner deep chicken fryer skillets with lids in September. These were both antique mall finds, I gave $45.00 for one and got the guy down to $35.00 for the other because it needed a good cleaning. Those aren’t rare at all. I’ve bought 4 in total this year because they were to cheap to walk away from.

                I only have one, Oak Smoke I’ve had for 15 years or so…
                I wouldn’t walk away at the prices you found either…
                Makes for horse trading goods later on…
