Turkey fryer
Want to waste some money? Spend $80 to $100 (or more) for a deep-fat fryer! But don’t stop there: You also need to factor in the cost of gallons of vegetable oil plus the propane to fire it up.
(And what do you do with all that grease afterward?) Maybe some of you crazy Cajuns are using your turkey fryers, year after year. For most people, it probably stays in the garage — right next to the ice cream maker, bread machine, doughnut bakery and all the other products that seemed so wonderful at the point of purchase.
