Questions tagged [deep-frying]

Questions about cooking by submerging food in hot oil or fat.

In deep frying, the food to be cooked is submerged in hot oil. This provides a dry environment with very rapid heat transfer.

Deep frying is typically performed in a dutch oven or a dedicated appliance, the deep fryer.

Pan-frying is similar, but much less oil is used, and the food generally isn't submerged.

Steaks can be deep fried and this is usually done with an oil with a high smoke point. People seem to report reasonably good results with this. I'd like to deep fry with butter as this would impart that butter flavour. Using un-clarified butter…

There are a lot of frozen French fry recipes on Google and YouTube, but none stay crispy after defrost. I have tried many. After 2-4 month they become soft and pale. I doubt there are some chemicals which can keep their taste and crispy texture.…
