for real. i got the fanciest deep fryer they had at target and it was still only 60 bucks. i use it a good amount, so that's what justified me getting a nice one. it's so awesome being able to make a sandwich and some legit fries or poutine at will. pizza rolls and pepperoni hot pockets just beg to be deep fried. probably not the healthiest thing, but i have good metabolism so i don't worry about getting fat soon.
