Chip pon.
I have just retired my chip pon and bought a deep fat fryer. I have had the same chip pon for forty years, so it was with some reluctance that I replaced it. I was wondering if anyone else still uses a chip pon.

That's what we are having tonight. Home made chip, fish and mushy peas.
I got my chip pon with No.6 coupons, so that pon was good value and served me and my family well. R.I.P. chip pon.

Chip pon is better than a fryer, they don't taste the same from a fryer.

The Daleks agree.

My husband wouldn't let me throw the old chip pan out, 'tis resting in a dark corner of a cupboard. I'll see how I get on with this new fangled fryer and if we don't suit each other, I may well resurrect old faithful

You cant beat homemade chips in a chip pon.Oven chips are awful.They are not the same on a butty.

Remember when HRH Elizabeth went to bed early, after a few drinks at Windsor Castle, and left the chip pon on?

I remember the fire, Tonker, in that Annus Horribilis, but I'm sure the Queen was not cooking chips.
(If I agree with you, it seems I might have had my chips!)

Aye, and with a crinkle cutter.
Having your crinkle cut sounds nasty. Still it'll teach 'em a lesson.

Boiling in oil would do the trick. (Or lard for a Yorkshire flavour )
Replied: 14th Feb 2009 at 17:38
Trick for what, Dostaf?

Spent £50 last month on new fryer. This month gone back to chip pan.
Replied: 14th Feb 2009 at 17:50
Dostaf, I thought the oil was your idea for punishing ww'ers for treason. (Not me.) Glad it's just for unsavoury snacks.
We don't use a chip pan or deep fat fryer - our chips come in bags ...
from the freezer.

so do you eat them straight from the freezer,never tried them like that
Replied: 14th Feb 2009 at 17:56
On a more serious note. We had a fire assessment done by the fire service and the only recommendation they made was to get a fryer, because lots of house fires are caused by chip pans. I have never left ours, even for a few minutes but there's always a first time.

"Not me" she says after nipping back in time to point-out to tonker that Her Maj wasn't cooking chips.

Jathbee - in April I linked to a news story where firefighters were giving away deep fat fryers in Wigan & Leigh areas.
There's useful information that still applies, but I'm not sure if there are any deep fat fryers available now.

Deep fat fryer, well, this reminds me of a former job. We had to call them "deep fryers," so as not to offend those who used oil. Seriously, it's true.
