As I started the video at my workbench, I showed all of the parts and assembly to inform shoppers about the product. I do deep fry on on workbench as a practice. I felt, people would think it unsanitary to be cooking at a workbench and as all my cooking videos, I adopted my kitchen as a safe place for frying. It seems in my effort, I struck a nerve with you. Well I tried my best, but as they say, You can't please all the people all the time. To close, the French Fries do not smell when cooking. Thanks for your comment, like to find out what people think.
