Hey Big Willy, I got a great story for ya. One time I was changing the oil in my old '97 Chevy Cheyenne. It was somewhat windy that day but not too bad so I decided to proceed. As the used motor oil was draining and while I was still under the truck, a big gust of wind blew below the truck. It blew the stream of oil right at my face (my mouth was open at the time too), and a bunch of used motor oil got right in my mouth. It was a disgusting taste and I could not get it out of my mouth for the life of me. The oil just formed a thin film and would not go away. I ended up rinsing my mouth with Dawn and water (which was also disgusting, but hey), and it eventually got the oil out of there. 0/10, not recommend for french fries.

[@MarylandFarmer.]

I had a strange issue on an engine once where I pulled an injector to inspect and oil went down on the piston and my first instinct was to suck it out with a drinking straw then spit it in a bucket. After about the 3rd round I decided I'd rather have to wash the shop vac. -10/10 from me. At least Willy used fresh oil, I was expecting him to drain something first to get some.

[@aristology6912]

If that wasn’t already bad enough, a wild Escalade parked with its oil pan directly over my face, then it spit it’s drain plug out and proceeded to pee in my mouth. Please stop spreading misinformation, luckily my uncle who happens to be a supervisor saw it all happen, which obviously proves I’m right (no you can’t talk to him, he’s very busy with his new job at one of Walmart’s overseas locations and our free time never overlaps because of the time zone difference in Pyongyang)

[@LogicalNiko]

BTW mineral oil is indigestible and a laxative. So a few things with oils: If you are frying properly very little oil is absorbed by the food, thus rendering its taste influence pretty minimal. The water in food being deep fried turns to steam increasing the internal pressures. As the steam escapes it is pushing out the oil and creating very thin barrier between the food and the oil (thus the bubbling). Cooking at lower temperatures will impart more taste but that leaves an oil soaked piece of food. Fries that are cooked low one time and finished at a high heat a second time will retain more flavor of the oil from the first frying. So a few things on safety: Generally fry in pan that is much deeper than you need to contain overflow. Electric or induction is much safer than an open flame with hot oil. Covering things deep frying will trap more moisture, which you are trying to get rid of. Pat anything being fried dry as water will flash boil and has a high risk of fire or injury.

The best oil for fries is equal parts duck fat and beef tallow. I just read a sci-fi book where a bunch of space marines figured out that fries taste better when fried during high-G maneuvers. Got me thinking, how hard would it be to build a centrifuge deep fryer? Probably pretty dangerous.

[@dustinwilson492]

some fried chicken places use pressure friers i believe to speed up the cooking process. if its under pressure then it would be sealed then you would just need a slip ring to transfer power to a spinning platform with the frier on it.

[@NonEuclideanTacoCannon]

@@dustinwilson492 Even harder than that, electric fryers are awful so you'd need a gas slip ring. Pressure fryers are definitely a thing, and are the only reason fast food fried chicken is possible. I had forgotten about that. Probably the same effect as high-g deep frying. Frying whole chicken parts with a normal fryer takes a really long time and is actually sort of difficult to do well. The areas near the bone in particular are hard to get to 165 degrees without overcooking the shit out of the rest of the piece. At an institutional scale, usually the chicken is partially fried, then finished in an oven. From my experience at least.

[@DarthCiliatus]

@@NonEuclideanTacoCannon I work at Chick fil A. We use pressure fryers for our regular filets and nuggets but unpressurized fryers for our spicy fillets and strips. Comparing the regular and spicy filet they both cook for 4:20 at about 320F and both are fully cooked after that time whether pressurized or not (we have new people that are really bad at remembering to pressurize the fryers). The difference pressure makes is in texture. Unpressurized has a smoother texture than pressurized.

I've been to a Red Robbin once in my life. The fries, and how good they were, and that they were all you can eat, is literally the only thing I remember about it... lol

[@TehTrikTrak]

Every other KZbinr: Alright guys, so I've had a baby, so I won't be posting as much so I can spend time with my little family William Osman after Potato is born: Time to be more productive with KZbin than I have been the past years. Let's also do an event called 'Open Sauce'. Let's put more into Safety Third and travel for it. Spending money on random machines/vehicles. Yet he still seems to be a great Dad, we love you William.

[@namesurname3257]

William having a mid-life crisis in the middle of making diarrhoea french fries is exactly why I love his sense of humour

[@austinfleck8664]

6:53 when you don't realize the article is from 3 years ago. Also no surprise Michael Reeves got it spot on lol.

[@KlausKlass]

When you boil unsalted butter and let it cool it becomes “clarified butter”. This is how many Indians make ghee at home. It tastes way better than store bought ghee. It is also relatively shelf stable. A lot of Indian fried food is fried in ghee. So I’ve grown up eating food fried in essentially unsalted butter - tastes really good tbh.

[@justinstuder1649]

Will has so much rizz that he didn't even hesitate to talk to a stranger on the phone! Yeah, I know it was poison control but some of us would have rather just die than hit that call button. Good on him for showing us that the person on the other side is friendly and not out to get us 😂

[@klamsanac8173]

Should have done sesame and peanut oil

[@haroldinho420]

and olive oil wtf

[@Workof]

Its getting dark, youre leaving work with your coworker, your boss sits outside in the sunset, wearing a chef costume, frying fries in motor oil, trying to explain to you what "rizz" means. Just another Tuesday.

[@way2dead4u]

the idea of hearing Will's screams outside followed immediately by him presenting fries to eat seems hilarious to me, like a Friends bit

[@jesperlivid9184]

I don't know if I'm more surprised at how good the mineral oil fries looked and ended up being, or at the fact William has NEVER had to call poison control before-

[@infestus5657]

When you said: "here are my potatoes" i looked up from my homework and thougt, you have more than one child.

[@tlgx884]

We don’t cook them with oil, we cook them with beef grease ! (I’m french)

[@MrPxTree]

I'm so sorry to hear that

[@nyas.p]

That's very sad (that you're french)

[@thedoctor3996]

Can you stop being French or are you stuck like that?

[@toniertitan7904]

I’ve heard that’s best

[@GrimReaping]

Thats weird. That sounds like one of the most American ways to make fries lol

[@rustyshackleford6149]

Cook your fries twice. Do it in large batches and after first fry spread them on cookie sheets and freeze them and then store the extra and fry what you want to eat. Insane crispy outside and soft inside

[@ReeceM69]

Have you heard of spoons? They’re a super useful utensil to help scoop things out of other things

[@ignosegnose5578]

The water in the french fries is why it boiled over.

[@AgentOrange96]

I'm pretty sure you're supposed to pat-dry them before sticking them in the fryer. Which he did not do...

[@Memento_Mori]

I like William so much because he is an adept engineer and also a goblin that apparently lives on a compound with his friends now. Truly living the life of someone done with the world but still wanting to learn everything about it.

[@combogalis]

the decision to describe the taste of the motor oil to the poison control dude unprompted... this is why we love William

[@pacificcoastbreeze]

"That was $10 worth of oil we just used! Very expensive. Let me go ahead and dispose of the expensive avocado oil that i only used just once."

[@KrummyBrinkleJr.]

My guy avoided a 3 second internet search and decided to swig the death juice

[@aznperswazn]

I love the randomness of your videos... Sometimes its science, farming, food, etc. I love that the underlying theme of your channel is fun. I appreciate that. I hope you keep it up and thank you for the laughs.

[@Partigrade]

Its less about the flavor, and more about the temperature the oil can reach without smoking. I predict lard will be good. Lard is from pig, Tallow is from cow.

[@ronbeton5069]

As a Belgian that worked in a "frituur" I can tell you that frying fries in palm oil and doing a quick high temperature refry also in palm oil is the way salt it directly after frying it so it holds the flavor best. It should give u a crisp exterior and a soft interior.

[@MrKinir]

Palm oil? You're not Belgian.

[@ronbeton5069]

@@MrKinir Just saying what we did there, it got awarded best in flanders...

[@dylanhackbarth6390]

most modern engine oils have detergents in them to keep contaminants suspended so that the cars oil filter can remove them, motor oil fries might be better with a small engine oil that doesn't have the detergents because most small engines are splash lubricated (you want the contaminates to settle out into the sump)

[@brandonupchurch7628]

Small engine oil has detergents in it, non-detergent air compressor oil or anti wear hydraulic oil does not have detergents but contains the anti wear additives, and if you get the completely non additized stuff like Walmart's store brand "non-detergent" it will have no additives in it, but there wouldn't be any point to that as the mineral oil he used is already pretty much the same thing albeit a lighter viscosity and the mineral oil has been hydrotreated to strip most of the volatiles out so that it's nice and clear and is already safe for consumption as a laxative, while the "non-detergent motor oil" stuff is usually just nasty solvent refined base oil.

[@personwithopinions3402]

when you started talking about zoomers i was thinking how long until Michael gets mentioned . and 30 seconds later there he was. yet another great video

[@scottm2553]

A friend and I had an idea many years ago to open a restaurant that serves deep fried pickles that a cooked in mineral oil. We would call them Little Greasers.

[@brittestennes3562]

Duck fat is actually insanely good to cook French fries in. As long as you’re chill with that ofc 😂

[@Bralvis]

I genuinely want this series to continue. What’s the perfect motor oil to fry a fry in?

[@thomasesr]

Different oils have different smoke points so you can cook at different temperatures. Also some oils take longer to saturate. We use cotton seed oil in our restaurant because it can make several different deep fried goodies at the same temperature and it lasts a long time.

[@Me-hn6ni]

1:49 I can't lie I was falling asleep but nearly jumped out of my skin right here, this is my exact alarm sound 😭
