I tried a search but couldn't find anything on the subject...
Anywhoo...
Can you deepfry in anything other than an actual deepfryer? I think I remember seeing someone do it in a Dutch oven? (someone on Food Network) Is that safe? Can you do it in say, a large Teflon pot? Like what you would boil pasta in. Or would it melt the Teflon... I've used a Teflon frying pan to do shrimp with maybe 1/4 " of oil and turned them over. Which leads me to ask... is there a difference in doing that, and actually deepfrying?
Sorry if these are silly questions, but I don't want to do anything dangerous.
