LOL - Deep frying here as well (majority of the time) The old Rival crock pot still works (but it’s the devil to clean the darn thing) I use the Rival for a crock pot and the kettle for deep frying more often than not.

All these years with my old Rival, would have used it more if it wasn't such a nuisance to clean. Now I have a great sink sprayer and it's a breeze compared to how I'd done it in the past and have to take such care to keep the cord, switches, etc., from getting wet.

Several years ago, I got hooked on Dulce Le Leche and was making it very often. Crock pots are exccellent for that and a little safer because the water is less likely to boil dry. Then I'd steal a can and eat it like candy. I got sick of it and haven't made any since. I much prefer real buttery caramel. I haven't succeeded in getting the burnt sugar to work for caramel sauce yet though.
