I use an electric skillet for most of my deep frying -- however with my
vultures (sons) it works better to use a turkey fryer -- the one they gave
me has a smaller kettle (6" deep) for frying -- we'll make hush puppies next
time we make lamb kabobs.

Lamb Kabobs  -- I just dump the spices, etc. over the lamb cubes, till I
think it will taste good, let it sit for a few hours to overnight .  Then
deep fry it till done -- serve with roasted vegetables -- great stuff.

Best if you can find lamb lard for frying -- need to do that outside.  We
get it from the local butcher shop -- render it ourselves -- outside.  Lamb
lard smells very much like lanolin but can't beat it for deep frying lamb
kabobs or Fleischkuechle -- I don't make the Fleischkuechle -- my wife does.

Don't worry about the spattering -- line the counter and wall with
newspapers -- that's what I do when making a mess in the kitchen -- if its
peeling tomatoes, or canning beet pickles, or frying -- newspapers work
great to keep the mess containable.
