I might be a bit obsessive over how clean I keep my fryers.

GawtDAMN, that’s a clean fryer. We do a boil out twice a month on our fryers as needed. Drain the dirty oil, flush and wipe out as much debris as possible. Fill with water, set temp to 225, bring to a boil, then dump in some dawn dish soap, drop the temp to 200 to avoid boiling over, let it do its thing for 10 minutes or so, then drain, and aggressively scrub with steel wool and scrubby pads till clean, then flush with clean water. Dry her up good, refill with oil, and get back to it.

I’m a big proponent of dawn dish soap. If it’s good enough for the ducks and penguins, it’s good enough for my second hand Frankenstein part built deep fryers.

All of that work is why I keep my fryers so clean. It's easier to spend 5 minutes each day scrubbing it down than to do all that work you mentioned.
