/ck/ - Food & Cooking

If you want it like pic related, the fish will have to be at least partially submerged. Spray oils won't work at all. Butter won't help either, the milk solids will burn at high temp. Get some cheap canola or peanut oil.

You underestimate the common fool

i'd recommend coconut oil, actually. canola dries shit out a lot & peanut oil is stronger-tasting stuff/is better used for more complex dishes. cononut oil rounds-out the palate whatever you're spicing/marinating your fish with nicely, and even prevents flaking since it's so dense & encapsulates moisture well.

deep fried and coated like in fish and chips?

or like semi submerged in oil?

if you're going for deep frying as a newbie cook, don't make the mistake of getting the temperature way too high.

and go out and get some flour.

Oh great, the coconigger is back. Coconut oil is garbage and tastes like your mother's dried up, yeast infected Cunt.

additionally, be as careful as humanly possible. oil is fucking terrifying.
t. heard multiple stories of niggas getting fucked up from fryers at work

How do i make onion rings

Lard or palm oil is the shit for frying. If that's not a possibility, sunflower oil is still acceptable.

either shallow fry or get one of these small counter top deep fryers.
For shallow drying in the pan olive oil is ok, but I’d generally recommend beef kidney fat for both, types.
Don’t get canola oil, it is going to make your dick fall off.

Remember to add an ice cube to your oil after its hot and before you put the fish in. stops it from sticking to your pan and breaking up.
Good luck fren

Why though? You can deep fry in an ordinary pot just fine. An appliance is more parts, more annoying to clean, uses counter space and the cheap ones don't even manage temp that well in my experience.

Mechanically it's not that different from boiling except that you need a thermometer to watch the temp. I just use the same one I use to temp the meat after frying. Just pay attention and don't be a retard about it, and there's nothing to be afraid of.
