  For me it’s mostly the deep fryer. When I change the oil it takes about 4 1/2 liters to refill.

    That makes sense, I didn’t imagine that many people bother deep frying at home, but I guess I’m wrong :D

    But in this case people are describing adding a little oil to a bottle at a time where with deep frying you could fill a bottle every time I think.

      Here in Belgium nearly every household has a friteuse to make fries.

        Wow, I just bake them, I’m sure it’s not as good though.

    My parents could keep that going for a good long time by filtering it through a few layers of kitchen paper, it got rid of a lot of the burnt stuff, came out quite clear each time.

      Don’t they warn against reusing too much because it breaks down into carcinogens?

        Probably, but don’t most things these days go out of their way to kill us anyway? 😅

      I use paper coffee filters in a metal strainer.

      Takes a while, but the oil comes out clear and back to its original colour and flavour after 2 passes.

    I just got a deep fryer literally two days ago how often should I change the oil?

    source

    • Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      They say around around 10 uses or a max of three months, depending on how often you use it.

      For me personally I tend to stretch it a bit further… the main thing is that it isn’t rancid or starting to get too dark.

      Drain it through a filter and refrigerate it if you aren’t using it constantly. It’ll go rancid pretty quick.

  Have you every heard of the method of cooking called frying?

  source

  • GJdan@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Sure, but not usually with enough oil to pour out of the pan after cooking.

      That depends on the dish - a Wiener Schnitzel for example should be able to move freely in the oil (because it should be kept moving), or the breading will be pretty underwhelming. Same goes for most stuff with breading. I always try to be very conservative in my cooking oil usage, but in those cases it’s just not an option.

        Ooh that makes sense, and I want schnitzel now.

      Do you make potato fries in a pan?

      source

      • MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        A lot of people do, actually. Seasoning them right for them to come out more “french fry” than “dried potato” is more involved than a lot of people might like, but I personally don’t do it because I’m being picky about the flavor. I don’t own a deep-frier and salted-dried-potatoes are good enough with a lot of entrees.

  I don’t call it oil since it’s solid at room temperature, but if you fry meat you’ll liberate fat (dripping)

    Meat! I was forgetting about meet…

  Yeah, like what the fuck. People here really think that you can’t fry with just enough oil.

  • filcuk@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Well, not normally, but for example crispy breaded anything should be dunked in oil at least half way.
