mel b3 Posted yesterday at 15:27 Report Share Posted yesterday at 15:27 Did those eggs taste as delicious as they look ?. Those chips are pure perfection 👌. You did have bread and butter didn't you ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted yesterday at 16:00 Report Share Posted yesterday at 16:00 If I was served those chips at a fish and chip shop I would ask for a rethink. They look as if they have been fried for far too long or in the case of the chip shop, maybe they were left over from a previous session and fried again.

That's how home cooked chips are supposed to look . Brown equals flavour . Undercooked chips are just warm greasy potato. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor Shot Posted yesterday at 17:08 Report Share Posted yesterday at 17:08 The chips are just the right side of brown but would have preffered a runny yolk to dip them in. Reminds me of the home cooked meals of my childhood. Everything from the frying pan and the fryer. All those processed seed oils and greasy food may have taken years from my life but the food was lovely I certainly enjoyed it at the time.😋 Who wants to live into their 90's anyway? It can't be much fun beyond 75, sat in a chair all day ****ting ones self involuntarily.. Anything from 6/3 to 5/8 on the above chart posted by Tightchoke will be fine..

I am the wrong side of 75 and would often like the chance of sitting in a chair for long periods , at the moment I just haven't got the time , I average walking at least five miles a day and for many days I exceed that , we were shooting game all day last Saturday and with only three more to go I hope to end another season without missing a single day ,age is only a number and every ones number will be up day but I hope mine is well down the list , in the mean time I aim to get out as much of the day I can , one thing you cannot stop is time .

JohnfromUK Posted yesterday at 18:20 Report Share Posted yesterday at 18:20 It (the food) looks nice other than the eggs - which I don't 'do', however I do have questions about the fryer as I had a similar one once. Let me explain a bit. I had a Magimix branded deep fat fryer that was similar to what you have shown; Good points It cooked very nice food It was (fairly) easy to clean Nothing went wrong It heated quickly Bad points It held a LOT of oil/fat (I used oil, but can't remember what type now) The oil either needed draining and storing in bottles once cold, or replacing often (it seemed to go off quickly if not). I only deep fry around once a month. It was really messy pouring the oil out The scraps collected at the bottom What sort of fat/oil do you use? I now have a deep fry pan that goes in my (induction) cooker. I used to use UK grown rapeseed oil, but the last batch I bought left everything with a 'cabbagey' flavour. Previous batches (same brand) had not had this. I think I will go back to corn oil. What oil/fat do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What oil/fat do you use? i use rapeseed............. the machine is soo easy to clean and filter the oil.....if i dont use the fryer for a few days i heat it up for 10 mins......the element and controller are joined and it just simply lifts off....then you lift the stainless bowl out...filter it ...return the oil and lower the element in...jobs a gooden............i use a french coffee press to clean the oil.....and i will cook in it about 7 to 9 times depending what ive been cooking in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
