Chip Pans..

For years trying all these new ****ing chips, Aunt Bessies, McCain etc, I have realised that I have been feeding me and the girls **** basically, not that we eat them much..

So today I bought a good old fashioned chip pan, deciding whether to chuck lard in it or Sunflower oil, my heart says lard as I remember but my head says Sunflower oil.. Any of you lads still like to make the traditional Chips with Maris piper spuds or is this purely a poncy crisp forum..

 

Ok I always use vegetable oil and make sure it’s very hot.
Cut your spuds so that they are thin and will cook quicker and better if you do.
Then I cook small amounts of chips at a time, stir occasionally so that they don’t clump.

Chips mm- they are always better homemade.

 

Get a Tefal ActiFry machine.

 

Yep, I use sunflower oil in a wok, parboil the spuds first. King Edwards are the best imo.

 

A man from my heart..

****e them like, tasted chips from them, would rather suck my toes if I could get the ****ers in my gob..

 

Aside from a chip shop. Not had proper home cooked chips in years, and I don't own a chip fryer. Although fancy them now, could probably do them in a large frying pan, but I only have olive oil in the house and not sunflower oil, not sure what temperture olive oil can tolerate. Fook it, feel too lazy anyway.

I do have oven chips but tbph whatever variety you buy they are all shhite for one reason or another.

 

I’ve got an air fryer...but now and again I treat myself to homemade chips

McCain’s Home fries are tasty as are the French fries.

 

remember to blanch the spuds first.

Olive oil is a complete waste as a frying oil, you'd be better off with lard.

And, did you know, that frying vegetables is healthier than boiling them?

 

Did someone mention a fryer

 

I suspect it will be your heart pleading for Sunflower Oil.

 

lard is a far heathier option for deep frying than sunflower oil.

 

If you are being serious I didnt know that. Always thought lard was really bad for you as it was mostly animal fats.

 

I use sunflower oil. I change it every month.

3ltrs.

 

sunflower oil oxidizes really quickly and forms lots of toxins, the healthiest oil is coconut (unsurprisingly, it's ****ing awesome for pretty much everything), though it tends to taint everything with a coconut taste.

 

Coconut chips, i'm out.

 

Just checked composition of lard - its not going to catch on here

 

I said it was the healthiest, not best, you can't beat lard for frying chips. It's cheaper and healthier than the sunflower oil, switch and thank me later.

 

Catch on?

Every ****er used to use lard ffs.

Whatever the chinkys use for their chips is best.

 

I may just try that, so how tubs or lard to fill a 3ltr fryer?

 

I'll guess at 3kg's worth, I just checked, looks like I lied about it being cheaper.
