Was frying up some curly french fries tonight. Put some ham chunks from
a meal a few days ago until they became a red-brown color. Deep fried it to
yummy. Found out a good deep frying trick. Was using just Healthy Choice
Omega-3 Cooking Oil. Found out that by adding in a couple of spoonfuls of
unsaturated Coconut Oil (fats that stay semi-solids at room temperature) the
spatter factor is greatly reduced and the cooking heat can be raised up a
bit because the oil foams instead of spitting when a water-dense substance
is introduced.
I figure that no-TransFat Shortening would work too. Although, the fats
that tend to be unhealthy are the ones that are semi-solids at room
temperature (cocoa fats in chocolate are in that range too) because they can
become solids again in the blood stream, the no-spatter factor is a big
bonus for deep frying.
I've got a little 6-inch wide cooking pot with lid I use rapidly cooking
up eggs and is great for deep frying tiny meals.
I also use the whisk-tongs (tongs that have gripping surfaces in the
shape of a flattened whisk) because they have superior gripping function for
irregularly shaped objects.
