Re: deep fryers
Buy a can of pilsbury biscuits...
separate them as you would if you were baking them... Punch a little hole with your index finger in the center... Deep fry until golden brown... Top with a cinnamon and sugar mixture (4:1)... |
Re: deep fryers
Disgusting.
Just be sure not to throw that used oil down the drain or bury it in your yard or toss it in the trash. It's a hazardous waste and needs to be taken down to your local garbage collection center. Or just reuse it. Or give it to the biodiesel guy in Arizona |

Re: deep fryers
I got a deep fryer for Christmas that I've only fried turkeys in so far. I have plans for cheese curds, pizza rolls, fries, and corndogs, though, as well as boiling things like corn on the cob and crab legs. My wife's uncle got one a couple years ago and we fried EVERYTHING that would fit into it - pickles, chocolate-covered fruit, twinkies, cheese sticks...

Re: deep fryers
Deep fried turkey is way, way better than oven cooked turkey. Plus it takes half as much time.
Also, there's a restaurant in Detroit that serves deep fried Twinkies with ice cream. Yummy. |

How is the cleanup/disposal of such a huge amount of oil? |
Re: deep fryers
I have one of those my my night stand.
No one mentioned Chicken Wings yet. |

Do with it what you will. Supersoakers could be fun, particularly if you live near the woods and there's a chance of attracting some bears or raccoons. |

Re: deep fryers
We had a frying party for the last day of my AP chem class in high school. Highlights: oreos, candy bars, cheeses (fresh mozzerlla and a sharp cheddar being my personal favorites). Also, this one kid had a McDonalds cheeseburger, which he let me have and fry. That was an incredible day.

Re: deep fryers
We have one of these. I mostly use it for french fries and tater tots, but we have done Snickers bars before. We used the small ("fun size") ones. Search online and you'll find instructions. The candy bar needs to be breaded. If you just throw a Snickers in there, it will just melt into the oil. Properly breaded, they are very good. Crispy fried breading on the outside filled with melted chocolate bar. Mmmmm.

Re: deep fryers
I you're going to make french fries (chips to the Brits), just buy some potatoes and cut them up. You will get much better fries than you will using pre-cut frozen crap.

[/ QUOTE ] I have a chip pan in my house and we primarily use it for pre-made store french fries, however when we have time we put in the effort to make home made french fries with our krinle-cutter knife. I reccomend letting the chopped chips sit in the fridge overnight in paper towels to dry out a bit first. The other reccomendation I have, NEVER change the oil ever, it adds to the flavor. As long as you just use it for chips and not a bunch of other sugary or breaded stuff, it won't get a whole bunch of junk floating in it. (ok, exageration, change the oil once a year.) |
Re: deep fryers
Also change the oil if you do fish or poultry in it.
