Frozen Eggrolls
Grabbed some to tide me over while hubby is out of town. When I had my Hebrew teacher translate the package; I discovered they're supposed to be deep fried for 3 min at 180 degrees Celcius.
My deep-fryer (never-used wedding gift) is in storage in Seattle with the rest of my 110 appliances. My first instinct is to bake them at said 180 for 15-20 min, basting several times with cooking spray. Anyone ever tried this with "supposed to be fried" food? Did you thaw first?
My other thought was about an inch of oil in a pan and just keep turning them, like lumpia (which is usually still frozen, right?)

I think baking would be the best route.

I once baked something that was supposed deep fried, and while it wasn't horrible, I wasn't too pleased with the results. Do you have a Dutch oven? Or perhaps a deep skillet? You could try frying them up like doughnuts, a couple of minutes on each side. Whatever you do - enjoy!

I bake mine too - deep frying is a pain! I bake them according to directions but I use a wire rack so they get crispy on all sides. Put a sheet pan underneath it to prevent a mess.

They're better baked. Not as greasy, better for you. And they taste fine. Bake at whatever 425 F is for you in celcius.

I know our frozen eggrolls are also baked, 425 F (~220 C) for 20 minutes, and they come out very crispy and wonderful. It kinda depends on the quality of frozen eggroll, and be sure to preheat, otherwise they stay soggy.

I bake them because I don't have a deep fryer, they turn out great.
