The deep fat frying thread …
Guess this may be seen as a controversial topic for some who will be 100% against deep fat frying but for the rest of us ..

I don't have a deep fat fryer but my mom does and chips always taste better in her house :laugh:
|
Now we use lard in our deep fat fryer .. not just because the chips / ‘roast’ potatoes taste fabulous but its the method used by my old mum and my grandfather.. both lived to around 90

i haven't used a deep fat fryer in 20 years. The cleaning, replacing oil etc was just grim

We had a chip pan and fried up chips when I was a kid but I have never owned one. I do my chips in the air fryer, 10 mins and bingo
|
Air fryers are the best. Hardly ever fry or bake anything anymore.
|
No to deep fat fryers remember my brother and his wife had one back in the 90s and they put in a few stone each after they dumped it the eight came off ...air fryer chips if you make your own are just as good
|
Never had one...
|
Never owned a chip pan, never mind a deep fat fryer.
|
Cant beat home made chips cooked on a pan of oil, topped with a fried egg done in the cooling fat.

Interestingly all the top restaurants nationwide cook / fry in lard as do the famous Harry Ramsden’s Chip shop franchises

Do we know that for certain though ? Lard was used by my parents and grandparents who lived to their nineties .. everyone used it back in the old days.. oddly enough Cancer wasn’t anywhere near as common either .. We’ve been told for decades that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and that is total bollox .. it was supposedly just a catchy advertising line from the 60’s .. The famous line “ Breakfast, the most important meal of the day “ - was penned by no other than John Harvey Kellogg an American businessman .. Need I say anymore !!

You have a point about breakfast, btw, Zizu. What’s really bad for your health is capitalism. Breakfast is fuel but never the tastiest meal of the day.

Plus skipping breakfast like millions already do .. simply DELAYS the breaking of your fast . Millions are starting the day with high sugar , high carbs meals which is madness .. Nutritionists refer to a bad thing called ‘chasing the carbs’ which is what you / your body does as soon as you eat breakfast laden with carbs - you want more and more and more carbs all throughout the day from that moment at breakfast Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |
