We had oven chips with a meal yesterday and we both thought they were very tasteless and we starting hankering after good old proper homemade chips, you know the ones, real potatoes!! So, I am looking at little deep fat fryers, one nice and cheap in Argos, reviews say its smashing, but, some say they are confused that the instructions state to use it with the lid up, now wouldn't that just be like using an ordinary chip pan? Any recommendations?, I know, I know, chips and fat, but hey, it will only be once a month (err okay then, week).

Frozen oven chips often have gluten on them.

I use a chip pan and just leave the oil in it and store in my pantry cupboard. I filter it when necessary and throw it away when I think it's 'not nice'.

I keep an old oil bottle to store used oil and throw it when it's full. By then I've usually achieved another bottle to start storing in again.

I agree with DanniRae, oven chips are delicious. My mother used to fry chips in an ordinary shallow frying pan using lard. We loved her chips but, honestly, is it worth the faff? I remember her being very nervous about the fat splashing on to the flame. I don't think it ever did but Dad did used to hover around with the fire bucket!

We have oven chips, but nothing tastes as good as homemade chips cooked in beef dripping, served with crispy Spam Fritters and peas. Oh YUM grin.
