Deep Fried Kool-Aid??? REVISED & FINAL

Jarhead, I cook to order, it doesn't take but about 3 min to fry...I have a few thing already in the batter ready to drop, and pickles on the strainer ready to batter, so that helps...

I just do the frying thing for fundraisers, just for kicks...so I just have a burner and 7 qt CI DO to fry in...but, I am looking into getting a dual burner so I can have two pots to fry in..one for the breaded items and one for non-breaded..but everyone loves seeing us do the actual frying..and they don't seem to mind the wait...it actually helps create a line, which sparks interests...

Jarhead, I looked at that, but I already have the pots and stuff, so I'm looking at the one from Bayou Classic...breaks down and stows in the truck easy...

corndog, the legs come off of this one too. It breaks down to about 10" H, 18" D and 24" W. With legs on at working height, it is about 32".
My tape is MIA or I would give you exact dims on it.
Which Bayou Classic are you looking at?
I looked at the Cajun Cooker before getting this one. I just couldn't justify spending that much on something I would rarely use.

Anyway back to your batter. Do you just keep it on ice or mix a fresh batch every 30 minutes or so?

jarhead, here's the one I am looking at..

as far as the batter, I go though it pretty fast, so it doesn't stay in the bowl much longer than on hour or so...I try to keep as little as possible in there made just to keep it fresh..

OK corndog, I wasn't thinking along those lines. Looks good. I don't have all of the pots 'n' pans to go with it. That's why I went to the double vat.

Thanks for the info on the batter. May pre-measure the dry stuff and keep it in baggies for a quick turn around.
Gonna check on doing the wet ingredients too.
