Deep frying foodies, check your insurance policy! [General]

2008 Sep 18
So, we're shopping around for a new house insurance policy, and in that pursuit, the better half calls a couple agents.

One of the first questions from a company i'll not name concerned whether we ever deep-fry food. Better half's reply revealed that in the past and on very rare occasions, we had submerged a couple vegetables in an inch or two of oil. This disclosure led to further questions and the agent's own disclosure re. our potential ineligibility due to not using "regulation" (or whatever) deep fryers.

Sigh .... thank the agent for her time & move onto the next number.

Huh, intriguing! We weren't asked that question when we got our homeowner's insurance, so it's worth checking to see if there's something mentioned in our agreement.

Thanks for the heads-up. If I find out that there's nothing in our policy about deep frying I may just have to pipe up and say who I'm giving my money to ;)
