A friend of mine has a question bout using lard in a deep fat fryer. her old fryer used lard and we are trying to find a new one for her. She does not have a computer so i offered to search for her, but so far have not got any answers! Any help would be much appreciated!
I reinforce shaking's answer - I use beef dripping to make chips - preferably from golden wonder potatoes, chipped, dried and fried twice - once to cook, then again at higher temperature to brown. Yes, I know about the good/bad fat arguments so we just have these once in a while - no more often than twice a month. Cheers, Andy
thank you for all answers! I have just rung my friend and told her what you have said here and she is most grateful to you all!!! Her and her husband are in their 80's and have chips once a week cooked in lard and they are both very fit and well, so a little bit of what you fancy does you no harm at all!
