Deep frying at home the old fashioned way using a regular pot, filling it with oil, heating up the oil and dropping in the food was messy, and a little bit dangerous. You couldn t regulate the temperature of the oil as well as you wanted, which meant the food might not turn out the way you liked. Filtering the used oil, if you even wanted to go to the trouble of doing it, was a big pain, and you ran the risk of getting burned by spattering oil.
