The Nasty Bits: Deep-Frying Brains
We're talking pork brains here, though they could just as easily be lamb or calf brains. A brain is a brain, and while I admit there are slight differences in taste and softness, you're dealing with an organ that is primarily composed of fat—and tastes like it. When it comes to preparing brains, deep-frying them is about as classic as it gets.How to Deep-Fry at Home Without a Deep-Fryer
I used to think that in order to deep-fry, you needed a deep-fryer. Not so. To do it at home, just grab a stockpot, wok, or deep-walled saucepan, and a candy or deep-fat thermometer, and go to town. Here are some tips on what oils to use, how hot they should get, and the importance of drying.Video: Gina DePalma Makes Caciotta Fritters on 'The Dairy Show'
Our own Seriously Italian correspondent and Babbo executive pastry chef Gina DePalma appeared on The Dairy Show, a web show devoted to responsibly-made milk products. She whips up some savory fritters (or fritelli in Italian) using the Tuscan-style rustic farmhouse cheese caciotta from Dancing Ewe Farm. The little fried dough balls then get garnished with farm honey and fresh thyme from Gina's mom's garden. Watch the fritter-making after the jump....Video: Coolio Makes Deep-Fried Turkey
What is rap star (and now cookbook author) Coolio's mantra for perfect turkey? "The mo' injections, the merrier." He recommends botoxing your bird with a syringe filled with tequila, diced garlic, "regular Italian dressing," a dollop-uh (the Coolio pronunciation of dollop) of honey, balsamic vinegar, pepper (measured in dime bags not teaspoons), soy sauce, and few other pantry items. After plumping up the bird ("It went from a B-cup to a D-cup!") Coolio throws it into the deep-fryer. But he warns, and this video is just full of life wisdom, do not fry the bird indoors. You will burn down your house and have to buy a new one. Watch the video, after the jump....Have You Ever Deep Fried a Turkey for Thanksgiving?
After watching videos of turkey-frying gone wrong, it seems like the ol' roasting method is the way to go. But then you see the crispy, golden turkey skin, and think, wait, maybe this deep frying thing is worth risking injury and calling the local fire department.Taking George Foreman's Deep-Frying Machine for a Spin
The food blog Umami Mart takes George Foreman's Lean Mean Fat-Spinning Deep-Frying Machine for a test drive and comes away with a perplexingly mixed review. After cooking three different fried foods—mandoo, french fries, and mozzarella sticks—the author says two of the three were "too dry" and "too baked" tasting and describes the thing as ugly and "overly complicated, huge and heavy." Still, she recommends the thing. Wha? The Foreman fryer's supposed advantage over others is that it uses centrifugal force to spin out or "knock out" the fat after frying. It claims to remove up to 55 percent of the fat absorbed during frying. Which just means that people will buy it and feel justified in eating 55 percent more...George Duran's Trial By Fryer
There's a theory to which many people I know subscribe which basically says that any delicious food can only get better if you coat it in a tasty batter and then deep-fry it. Well, FHM got Food Network host George Duran to try it out by submitting five classic comfort foods to Trial By Fryer: White Castle sliders, microwave pizza, hard-boiled eggs, gummi worms and chocolate chip cookie dough. Four out of the five did well, but you might be surprised which food came out tops and which one was a let down. I know I was!...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
