Deep frying

[tinkerbell23]

Do you deep fry at home?

I dont have a deep fat fryer but i love chicken goujons in restaurants. I nearly got some in asda today but though if i oven cooked them theyd be no where near as crispy as i like them (mmmm)

And ive never deep fried using a pan or frying pan x

[B00]

Yes.

Chips mostly, i'm very adventurous! LOL

[Old_Geezer]

I used to have a de Longhi deep fat fryer...............I threw it away as I found I was having chips every night :-(

[tinkerbell23]

My gran had one when i was little mmmm late night snack of chips on plain bread butter and brown sauce!!

Am i right though? If id oven baked they wouldnt be bear as criaps and that lovely dark brown mmmmmm with garlic mayo mmmm

I only deep fry very occasionally and when I do I use my wok. Used to have a deep fat fryer but it gathered too much dust.

I used to own a fish and chip shop so didn't need to deep fry at home. I closed the shop in September 2010, had fish and chips just after Christmas, haven't had them since and there is no way I am buying a deep fat fryer.

I use a wok if needed Tinks. Also if you do want them crunchy from the oven use Panko breadcrumbs. They are the Japanese breadcrumbs are go reakky crunchy in the oven xx

[tinkerbell23]

Ta voddy! Im drooling here lol. X

[dickythecook]

Tink, if I need to deep fry for a chinese dish I use Groundnut oil 'cos it has a higher smoke point than veg oil. For all other I use supermerket veg oil. But as I say I don't deep fry that often now. I just made some crispy potato wedges with Cajun spice in the oven, for a treat. A little mayo and sod the weight police.

We don't deep fat fry any more because of trying to maintain lost weight, but I must tell you that the very finest chips ever are McCain's Home Fries deep fried NOT oven baked. Mmmm Delish.

Never, I haven't owned a deep fryer for several years.

[tinkerbell23]

Its just this craving for these flippin goujons lol

I wouldnt buy a fryer xx

[atalanta]

Unfortunately, shop-bought goujons can sometimes be dreadfully disappointing. They may have far too much coating on, and the interior tends to be not plain strips of chicken but reconstituted chicken mashup. We can hope that Asda's are different . . but . .

[Exmothian]

Asda's different! They will probably be worse......

[welshlibranr]

have an actifry, they are fab tink, they only need a tiny amount of oil, they don't smell, and food is really crispy too!......

I made my dad get rid of ours when we moved into this house. Mainly because he ended up deep frying everything but also because it makes things stink.

I do miss having home made real chips though. Oven chips just don't cut it.

[boxtops]

I've heard of that, welsh, never seen one. I got rid of the deep fryer ages ago - really bad for the diet.
