How To Fry Anything Like A Chef

[@brentcorley]

I was hoping at the end Josh would mention this, but when disposing of any fats, oils, or greases DO NOT EVER put it down any drains or toilets in your home. If you do then over time it will solidify in your pipes and will cost a fortune for a plumber to remove and repair. Hope this addition information helps!

[@teverthebeaver1785]

Where should I put it to dispose of it

[@crossan008]

The drain can have a little grease as a treat 😤

[@brentcorley]

@teverthebeaver1785 buy that stuff Josh said to solidify it, or depending on where you live there are places you can take it and they will dispose of it, or let it cool and dump in a trash bag carefully.

[@amartini51]

@@teverthebeaver1785 You can re-use frying oil a few times until it smells off. To get rid of it, compost or trash. Some places collect used oil as a separate thing, but that’s mostly for restaurants that have a LOT of oil to dispose of. Let the oil cool and pour it in a disposable container, like a water bottle a ziploc bag, and put that in the trash.

[@louiejimenez360]

Nah it's fine if you rent.

[@eldibs]

Something to note - if for some reason your fry oil catches fire, cover it to suffocate the fire. Once it's covered (if your vessel is small enough) you can calmly pick it up and carry it out to your yard/sidewalk and leave it there (not unattended, you don't want your pan to get stolen) until it cools down. Leave both your front and back doors open for a while, with a fan blowing in one door and out the other to help get the smell out of your home.

[@herzogsbuick]

i'd hope the heat would repel any would-be pan-nabbers

[@JansenVienna]

Very important tip

[@ImpureForce]

And if it catches fire, don't pour water over it. Cover with a damp cloth, dry one can catch fire.

[@elbruces]

@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist5 True, if your fry oil catches fire, the solution is to repent to Jesus Christ. Thanks for the tip!

The crunch isn't the only addictive part! I remember reading many years ago about a journal study on the science of food and it was found that there's a "sweet-spot" of fats, sodium, and sugars(carbs included), that makes fried foods truly addictive and start really sending out endorphins.

[@tommydeg43]

Maybe our bodies are like "oh yeah, we could survive several winters on this" haha

[@jimmothy87]

Don’t normally comment but I love these videos, not just because of the skill, but because they’re not about a single recipe, but introducing a concept (or about a dozen concepts) with general guidelines or suggestions how to adapt them and make them your own. For every technique he introduces, it opens the door to dozens of possibilities, and as someone who usually follows recipes and isn’t comfortable improvising in the kitchen, this is pure gold! Also, fun fact that many don’t realise, although tempura is commonly thought of as Japanese, it originated in Portugal, and the Portuguese introduced the technique to Japan about 500 years ago. It still exists in Portugal, generally involving tempura battered vegetables such as French/green beans, and is called “peixinhos da horta” which literally translates as “little fish of the garden” because the battered beans were thought to look like battered fish

That is about one week's worth of intense cooking lessons condensed to 20 minutes! Well and thoroughly researched and presented. Thanks.

[@robertmcelfresh1031]

Josh - I have found doing the Dredge and immediately frying to be a problem with things like Chicken. The first layer of flower takes TIME to absorb moisture from the wet dredge so letting the battered items sit for 5 minutes before frying tends to keep the batter from coming loose in the oil. It's like letting glue dry - you are letting the inner layer of flour glue the batter to the meat.

[@s0dfish110]

I'm trying this. Thank you!

[@jimdandy4329]

Interesting, will have to try it. Always have the batter come off while it cooks.

[@charwyrm8702]

I use the corn starch slurry method to clean my oil. Literally, a couple teaspoons per hundred milliliters of oil, fry it up, and it'll stick to all the dirt, float to the top ready for you to scoop out.

[@lucienovakova9330]

In my country (Czech) we love fried things. In fact, the most typical meal for Christmas (we celebrate on 24th evening fully) is schnitzel (both chicken and pork) and potato salad, which consists of potatoes, veggies, eggs, mayonaise, mustard, salt and pepper and some people add more stuff. We also make three-way (just like schnitzel) fried fish, where the most typical one is carp. And then some people also have other fish, sausages, salmon and other :) And very casual meal here is fried cheese in three-way pan fry (its eidam usually - really good). Thank you Joshua for showing this I cant wait to make some of these.

[@kendavis8046]

I've had pretty good luck using Canola at 325 F for things like chicken fried steak or chicken. But I do it in a wide sauce pan with about 1/3 inch of oil. (My wife simply refuses my suggestion to strain and reuse oil, so I have to use this method to save on the cost of oil. But after 40+ years, I've learned to simply spend the money on another jug of oil.) FWIW, I use a first mix in corn starch on the meat, then an egg/milk or buttermilk drench, then heavily seasoned flour, often going back to the drench and then back to the flour. Makes nice little crispy bits. And yes, adding the liquid does indeed increase crispy bits that are very tasty!

[@SpicyMoustache]

This video hits the crunch

[@FiidWilliams]

IMO the pro-move is to fry in a wok. Wok frying means you need less oil, which means faster heating, and less possible fire, and then it also means that if the oil foams or rises, it spreads out in the wok, so the actual level doesn't rise much at all, plus it's a huge catch area for any spills and for spitting.

[@aznfattass]

hint for the left over fry oil, simply use it again as regular oil. strain all the nasty bits and you have perfectly fine oil. also all the included flavors from whatever you fried it with.

[@markdatton1348]

I really like this style of video where it presents the cooking as very modular. I'm not a chef or even really a home cook, I just make whatever. The modularity of a recipe makes it that much easier for me to integrate it into my food musings

[@djoscartj]

That Chonqing chicken recipe is what I've been looking to reproduce for YEARS from the incredibly delicious Mexican-Chinese cuisine from Baja California (Tijuana and Mexicali), where one of the signature dishes is "Camaron Enchilado" (basically translates to "spiced up shrimp"), which is lightly breaded shrimp (or chicken, to make "Pollo Enchilado") and fried/tossed with chili flakes and green onion. Many thanks!!!

[@Streetfoodaround.]

[@missilereplicas]

When frying in a pot on a gas stove I figured this out the hard way! Before you place whatever you're cooking into the hot oil turn off the burner. Give the pot a few seconds to make sure it's not going to overflow. When it's safe turn the burner back on. If you have an overflow it's still possible to ignite because everything under the pot is still really hot but you won't have the flame igniting fine oil mist

Any time you are frying with large amounts of oil, make sure that you have an appropriately sized lid instantly at the ready so that you can smother any oil fires that might spark

A good idea get a deep fat frier since that lets you more easily control the oil temperature.

I don't understand why nobody ever recommends them. They start at around $50. Great temp control, no naked flame, clear min/max markers. Much easier and safer. My one (Tefal) even has built in filter and storage, making it easier to store/reuse the oil and stop it smelling. Its even dishwasher safe.

[@ivydaphne7483]

I don't really deep fry a lot but one of the best buys I made for my small kitchen is a Japanese style deep fryer pot. It has a rack on the lid to drain off excess oil, comes with a thermometer & has it's own slot and a spout for easy disposal or restore of oil.

My special French fry method takes the brining and par boil up a notch. I make a pickle brine (inc whateveryou would put in your brine for cucumbers), boil the fries in the brine (let them get softish, not just parbpoil), leave in fridge in brine for 3-5 days, transfer to a baking sheet and freeze. From here you can bag and store them, or immediately deep fry. These fries are magic. I usually serve with a homemade Caesar dressing I make.

[@ТипичныйРусскийШкольникТРШ]

Arguably, crunch is less significant than enormous amount of fat held by batter in terms of addictiveness

So, something I've found about breading and frying technique is this. If you find that the breading is not getting the dark golden brown no matter how long you have it in the oil I found that letting the breaded food sit for a little bit before you deep fry will help with this problem. One of my Chefs told me it's the moisture level because that causes this issue so letting it sit for no longer than 30 minutes at room temperature or in the fridge no more than 3 days (depending on what you breaded) or pretty much indefinite in the freezer. This one bar I worked at whenever someone ordered the buttermilk chicken sandwich we had to coat and let rest on a plate for a "hot minute" before deep frying it.

I used to work in a restaurant where coworkers were overly disrespectful when it came to other employee's food. One night - after weeks of coworkers snatching food off my plate when I wasn't sitting at the employee table, a buddy and I decided to get revenge against the worst offenders. At the end of the night, I collected kitchen order chits out of the trash and from the floor with the names of the worst offenders. We wadded them up, battered them, fried them, plated them and sat back to watch from afar as these people came up to eat dirty fried paper. All while wondering aloud, "who made this. It's great." The actual great part was watching their faces change as we told them what they were eating - even opening a few up to show them their own names! They never touched my food again! 😆😆

4:55 in Indonesia, or specifically where I live, there's a type food called "penyetan" (penyet= to press or mash) usually they serve fried or grilled meats such as chicken, fishes, dove etc, they also usually have sides, like tempe or tofu, and my favorite, fried cabbage Yes you read that correctly, fried cabbage, and I love it so much I often just eat white rice with it, all I usually do is to just take a couple leaf of cabbage, cut them into about an inch, soak em in salt and msg water for 5 minutes, and deepfry the ever living shmit out of it, and it tastes like heaven, most likely because the second bite takes you there but oh well, I like my veggies unhealthy 😂 Edit: i forgot to elaborate about the dish itself, it's called mash food because what you do is you take a little bit of everything, the rice the meat the sides the sambal, and mash them into one ball, then nom nom away

[@omechron]

One thing I've found about schnitzel is that if you make your schnitzels 3-6 hours ahead and refrigerate them, I seem to get a little bit less chance of a bubble popping off a bit of my batter. Plus it moves the task earlier in the day which makes life easier. Better yet, I've found that if I make my schnitzels and freeze them, they're good for weeks (probably months but they never last that long) and you can just toss them in the pan frozen with no noticeable drop in quality. They make a killer convenience food. I'll have to try that with the katsu as well.

[@5GreenAcres]

If you want crispy crunchy fried potatoes in the morning. Put your grated potatoes in water. Rinse and squeeze out and repeat until the water is clear. Squeeze out the excess water. Put a paper towel over the top to absorb more. Then.....put your generous amount of oil in a pan and heat it up. Once the pan is hot put your shredded potatoes in the pan. I salt and pepper before placing them in the hot skillet. Then cover for 3-5 minutes. Flip the potatoes and cover again. The best ever!!!!

I have a trick for French fries which gets basically the same results as the super long cook-fry-freeze-fry method. Simply cut the potatoes to sticks, dry them with a paper towel then put them in room temperature oil and let the oil heat up with the potatoes inside. That way by the time the oil is hot enough to get the crunchy exterior, the inside already had plenty of time to fluf up and you get the perfect fries every time, no super long methods required, arguably the easiest method with the best results... I would be very interested in Josh doing a taste test to see if this method actually stacks up to the longer method, because honestly I've been using this method ever since I've seen it, and I can't tell the difference

Just thought I would say the schnitzel, we just call a hub cap tenderloin. We throw it on a bun with your favorite condiments (spicy brown mustard, pickles, etc.) Then chow down. Was kind of a comfort food growing up.

Well done, sir. Was thinking about double (and triple) frying. And also double dredge. But I'm sure everyone has 100x things they would suggest to add.

I love this book I’m on this chapter now regarding texture: CRUNCH!

I like to add cornstarch to my dry mix. Helps add crunch. Dredge chicken wings in CS to up their crunch factor.

With brussels cooked liked that and I like to blanche some of the outside leaves and mix that fried brussels. Adds the lovely green colour.

Just convinced me that I really need a wok. Pork and chicken fried thrice, is always nice 😋 👌🏾
