Do you DEEP FRY?
I never have, ever! I love fried foods and wish they were good for you.
Not that I do it often, but I have fried everything from chicken, french fries, lemon slices, eggplant, ravioli, zucchini, and green tomatoes to herbs, but I've never had more than an inch or two of oil in my pan. Maybe I'm too cheap to use a whole bottle? I really don't know. My cast iron dutch ovens would work fine. I'm not about to fry a turkey, but I sure would love to taste one that has been deep fried. I know it's faster, but does the food taste different/better if it is dropped into a gallon of hot oil versus an inch or two? Is it also less greasy and therefore not as artery clogging? What is your experience?
Deep frying: OK to reuse oil? What to store in,esp when it's hot
I would love tips on whether it's okay to reuse oil for deep frying (since you usually need quarts), best oils for deep frying (Chinese food, fried chicken, beignets) and what people store the hot oil in when they are done and need to put it somewhere for next time!
Thank you.
Deep Fried Oreos
Wondering how many of you were fortunate/unfortunate enough to try deep fried oreos. In Pt. Pleasant, NJ, there's a shop on the boardwalk that makes these. An order consists of 3, but you only need 1. They hit your stomach like a brick but taste pretty awesome. I've also been made aware that they have deep fried twinkies (if you can imagine such a thing). These are definitely a way to grow a pot belly fast. I'm a serious health nut, but they're something you definitely should try. I'm pretty sure they're only available in the summertime though.
