As someone who has experienced a chip pan fire first hand, I'd personally go with the side of caution. If it's potentially dangerous enough to make this thread, then only the OP would truly know if it's worth using it again or not

Deep fat fryers are significantly safer than chip pans. Suspect accidents still happen, but I would imagine it's rare in comparison.

These are the bad boys lol

Edit: 90% of the time I fry my chips ("I" = my girlfriend) and the other 10% we use oven chips when we do a fry up.

Are those individually stored chips in that pack?!

Chips in a fry up? That explains the early morning breakfast I had in London when I asked for the full English and was given a plate of chips, scrambled egg and beans. I declined to eat or pay as it certainly wasn't what I was expecting.

Yes yes they are. Used to love them as a kid, don't think their stocked anywhere now though.

Don't usually have breakfast fry ups, usually dinner ones.

my Nan used to have a chip pan that was sat in fat that would go hard when cold and they would simply leave it and then reheat it when it was needed.

Frankly the best chips you will ever eat.

Also the worst for you of course.

Because of some microwave chips? :confused:

No, because there are people that believe the way forward is to separate individual chips in the packet. What's next; individually bagged peas?!

it does, It's just curious the way it happens because it's been cooking frozen chips for about 4 minutes quietly then really suddenly the bubbles start, they seem to be coming from the bottom of the tank.

The chips don't react violently when introduced to the oil, no excess ice or frost on the exterior.

At what temperature are you putting the chips is?

If you're not putting them in at a high enough temperature, the reaction you get between hot oil and the ice on the chips won't happen and will only start once the temperature has reached a specific point.

I'm not sure individually bagging peas is going to make a difference to how they cook where as separating the chips like that allows you to actually get something vaguely resembling a crispy chip from a microwave rather than a soggy mess.

Beef dripping mire than likely, how it should be done. Not only does oil give most of the taste. Dripping is an extremely stable fat, unlike the oxidised "healthy" crape oil they use these days.
And if your eating deep fried stuff every day you have bigger issues than dome tasty fat.
