When I wanted to bake batards though I tried several different steaming methods with marginal success until I came across this fantastic cast iron fryer

Great fryer!

I just received the Bayou Classic Fryer (made in China)

bayou classic oval fryer is great for rack of ribs

Lodge Sportsman's Grill doesn't come with a top, but this Bayou Classic 7477 Ovel Fryer is just perfect fit when it is placed upside down

We have not used the Bayou Classic 7474 Oval Fryer with Griddle yet, but we are already in love with it!
