WRONG. AMERICANS DO NOT LIKE TO DEEP FRY EVERYTHING. you are so wrong. We cook everything you can think of. Not deep fried. Dumb. We are no different than The UK. Omg

[@fee4900]

[@fee4900]

Americans don't actually in real life don't hardly deep fry. Maybe in the south they might do this. But not on the Westcoast.

[@CraftyInICT]

Most things you find deep fried are at once a year annual state fairs. All kinds of crazy things fried. This is not something people normally do in their own homes on a day to day basis.

County fairs are where you find the strange fried food. Fried Snickers bars. Anything you can think of.

[@DivergentDroid]

I bet Deep Fried Snickers Ice Cream bars are the Best! Those are awesome as they are. I can only imagine deep fried.. and they already come frozen!

I was at a fair one time, took at bite of a deep fried snickers and gave it to my neices friend. not a fan.

Yep. I saw deep fried butter in cartoon and thought it was just an exaggeration... but the next carnival I went to... a stall literally has deep fried butter on the menu... (no one ordered it while it was within my eye shot though. People prefer having funnel cakes and fried cheese over it 😂)

In the late 70s and early 80s the "thing to have" for Christmas was a Fry Daddy, which was an electric deep fryer that was round and deep enough fo a gallon of oil. We did Fryday every Friday, and if it was any kind of food, we deep fried it. Some things were amazing, but some were nasty. I never tried the deep fried Coke. By the way, using cheap oil made the food not as tasty. And yes, we used the oil over and over by filtering through an old coffee maker filter basket (just the basket, not through the whole coffee maker).

[@frankmcwilson445]

I had a Frybaby, smaller version of the Frydaddy until it finally died from overuse. Thanks for reminding me of it and the Christmas gift that it was. Have a happy holiday.

American here, I have never heard of most of this stuff he's preparing. Americans don't eat this stuff regularly, if at all. Some of it is food that is prepared at a state fair or carnival. Like fried butter and fried Oreos. I have never tried them. Doesn't sound appetizing to me. But a some people seem to like it that do try it. Some of this stuff depends on what area of the country you reside in. It is more common in parts of the south. But not universal American fare.

I watched a southern guy dump what I think was corn starch and water into the hot oil and it attaches to all the nasty stuff that accumulates down in the bottom of the pan and brings it to the top where you can spider it out. It really does clean out the oil!

Deep-fried butter. When I went to a fair and saw that they were selling it, I thought HEART ATTACK on a plate.

[@PeonyBlossom3]

We use our oven that is a convection oven or an an air fryer to make “fried chicken” or fresh cut regular and sweet potato fries again fries that we make from sliced cut fresh potatoes 🍠🥔 sprayed with a tiny amount of sunflower oil that you pour into a small travel sized spray bottle and other than that we just don’t fry foods.

Agree, corn on the cob boiled or steamed, coated in butter & salt = perfection. Tempura is a Japanese way of 'Breading' & Deep frying stuff. Man, EVERYTHING is better w/ bacon!

[@DrShambano]

I don't know if you can get cheese curds in the UK, but deep fried cheese curds are so good. They curds are chewy and they are like rubbery, so when you bite into them they squeak against your teeth. It adds to their uniqueness.

Oysters still on the 1/2 shell, with a mix of diced onion, bell pepper, bacon and garlic mounded on top of the oyster. Bread the whole thing and deep fry. ALSO: smoked pork shank, breaded and fried. This last one was the first meal I had after leaving the hospital after a triple bypass surgery

When my kids were young we would use the deep fryer for our Mystery Meat dinner once every few months. We would bread and deep fry chunks of many different meats. Among the chunks of chicken, pork and beef, there were also liver, gizzard and heart. The kids had so much fun with this "game", and it was a great way to introduce healthy organ meats.

[@squirrel2000]

17:58 Bacon goes remarkably good with sweet things. I said that I seldom deep fry now because of trying to eat healthy, but I used to deep fry stuff, but normal stuff. Something that I made that I thought was normal that you might not is a maple bacon raised donut with bacon in the dough. Topped with maple frosting and crispy bacon bits. Yes, you reuse the oil as long as it hasn't picked up flavor from the foods you fry, get burnt, or become rancid. I would typically strain cooled down used oil and store it in the fridge for the next time. This is bringing back memories.

Yes. Bacon wrapped Oreos, which are deep fried,, is definitely a thing that exists. He didn't make it up. You can get them at fairs and carnivals and other events like that. When we do barbecue fest here, it is fairly common to set up a fryer and fry all sorts of crazy stuff, including this. He may have went too far with the double stuffed Oreo and the thick bacon, but the principle is the same.

[@kyrataylor2035]

I don't deep fry anything nowadays, but in my college apartment I used to deep fry potatoes in my FryDaddy. I peeled 5 pounds of potatoes, then used the small end of a watermelon ball tool to carve out little balls of potato. The leftover fretwork of potato bits got fried along with the balls and each batch going into the oil got a new shake or two of Lawry's Seasoned Salt. The potato balls came out with a slight crunch but the leftover bits were very crunchy. I only made these when game night was at my apartment and I never had any leftovers. Sometimes I really miss them.

His avocado's weren't quite ready. That's why that green liquid was present and they were not so easy to peel. I buy Avocado's regularly.

[@kathleenwilliams6599]

Oh, and I'm just gonna say one thing about reusing your oil. Yes, you do filter it through a coffee filter. But if you're making like tempura, you want to do all of your vegetables and potatoes and everything like that first and like places at restaurants that deep fray. Any kind of fish? You can only use the same oil for fish and you want to throw it out right after, but it's good for pretty much. The whole day and oil is recyclable, so it's not like you're doing anything bad to the environment. However, just remember if you're watching your calories like me. One slice of Nagar pizza, that means it doesn't have any pepperoni on it or anything. It's basically the thinnest little crust with a pasta sauce, but then it has just cheese on top. They use about 16 different types of cheeses. Mix it all together, but they don't use a lot of it. But that slice of pizza just by itself, has a 1000 Calories, it's the highest Calorie fast food in the world. So before I knew that we'd get a pizza, I'd eat 3 pieces. I don't think it's that much. And so this isn't counting a salad or what a drink work. There are millions of other toppings that you can put on Pizza. You can make a piece of pizza, one slice that has 5000 Calories in it, and just for comparison's sake. If you take a huge half pound burger with bacon and triple the cheese and uh, the biggest dough. Bun possible, and you put all those condiments on it. It's still not as many calories as a slice of pizza.Take it from a certified chef .It's the truth

[@BenBourassa]

[@drutherford24]

Yes it's normal to use the oil or grease several times before tossing it out. Unless you cook fish in it. Then you'd need to deep fry a bunch of fries to help clean the oil of the fishy smell. Otherwise you'd want to toss it.

I don't know if this is really unusual, but whenever I am frying things, I also throw in some flour tortillas to make flour chips, which I think are better than potato and corn chips. I find it strange that you cannot buy flour chips anywhere because they are so much better. Pringles, I think, are half flour and half potato, so those are close, I guess.

If you can find freshly picked in-season corn, you don’t need to cook it much.

[@the_dog_says_moo]

That's one good thing about living in Iowa. We can get sweet corn a few hours after it's been picked! Almost every town will have people selling it out of a pickup in a parking lot. And don't bother shucking it before cooking. Just cut the ends of the silk off and put in the oven for about 10-15 minutes. It's much easier to remove the husk and especially the remaining silk after it's been cooked

[@mbourque]

First, you can "deep fry" in a pan on the range top. Second, don't use vegetable based oils for deep frying. Vegetable based oils break down under high heat and change chemical profile and can become harmful to consume. Only use animal based products such as lard or Tallow. Tallow is slightly more expensive than lard, but it works better and gives a better taste also.

[@the_dog_says_moo]

Vegetable oils (canola, soybean, peanut) are absolutely ok to deep fry with and it's what every restaurant uses. Lard has a smoke point of 370° and vegetable oil can be up to 450° so lard breaks down at a lower heat than vegetable. Your information is wrong Edit- Also, deep fryers in restaurants are set between 350° and 400°.
