What's the best oil for,,,,

I need to know. What's the best oil for a Deep Fryer? (I just got a nice sized one for the new place and I need to know the best oil to use in it.)

I use peanut oil, mostly.

 

[Jenny_Jackson]

I use KY or Motion Lotion or were you planning to cook in it?

My ex, a Julia Child wannabe, preferred safflower or sunflower oil, but she'd also use peanut or refined avocado oil for deep frying.

Stay away from olive oil (great though it is for other purposes), butter or margarine, or other oils/fats with low smoke points. These puppies will, at the very least, flood your house with acrid smokescreens or, at worst, turn into oversized propane torches.

I've always used vegetable oil with no issues.

Okay then, it seems Peanut Oil is the one to go with. (Believe it or not the manufacturor recomended something like Criscoe. Somehow I can't see myself using this.)

Hmmmmmm, deep fried in Butter, only if I'm going to do it outside away from any over hanging trees or low flying planes. (Much like my cooking thick chunks of bacon on the grill. I have to warn the FAA so they can put out an avoidance guidline for the fireballs.)

Perhaps Homeland Security as well?

Sudden large gouts of flame might get you a trip to Guantanamo if you're not careful.

Or a visit by the Men in Black? Oh wait, they're only after the illegals aren't they?

Hmmmmmmm Gitmo. One square a day, a cot, and all the BArbed wire I care to see. Might make for a relaxing vacation.

Especially if the square has been flash-fried in flaming Motion Lotion. Ummm, tasty

Hi Cat,

The word around here is, if you want the best fries in all of Florida, fill your fryer with half peanut and half with saflower or a good vegtable oil like Crisco. The best Fry joint which is just down the street from me does something similar, they do a first fry in peanut then a second fry to crisp the fries in vegtable oil.
When I asked Bob what his trick is for the absolute best fries in the world he told me what he does, but if you dont have two fryers like he has, combine the two and you will get the same flavour.

Just watch if anyone you are serving has a peanut allergy!
Happy frying!

ps. You know it takes a real man to deep fry in the nude!

Thanks.
