Suggestions for Deep Fryer . . .
Posted on 6/14/14 at 9:42 am
Posted on 6/14/14 at 9:42 am
I'm finally dragging out a Tefal deep fryer that we've had in a cabinet for years. Has a basket and thermostat for two temps: 339 and 374 (European silliness).
So I'm debating fish (maybe thin cut catfish), shrimp or oysters. And maybe, just maybe if I'f feeling energetic, I'll give onion rings a try.
Anyway, what do you guys think? And give your techniques/recipe with your suggestions.
TIA.

Run your fish through buttermilk, and then a 50/50 mix of fish fry and cornmeal, seasoned to taste. Fry in small batches at 350 until golden and floating. Drain on a wire rack.

i converted to just plain flour with some salt and pepper and pinch of cayenne for my fried seafood
think it tastes better and cleaner and looks more appealing.
corn meal is in my past forever.

Onion rings: slice purple onions thin and break into rings. I put them in a bowl of buttermilk, an egg, hot sauce (I use Louisiana), cayenne pepper and creole seasoning (I use Louisiana Creole Seasoning). Soak for a half hour or so.
Batter: I use all purpose flour and pancake batter (2 cups flour to 1/2 cup pancake batter). The pancake batter will be used in its dry form. Don't mix it up like your about to make pancakes. Season it with creole seasoning. You can easily do salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder instead of creole seasoning if you want.
Batter the rings, dip back in buttermilk, batter again and set aside. Get grease hot. Fry. Munch.

Oh, I was also debating peanut oil vs. canola oil. For some reason I'm thinking peanut may be better for deep frying.

I use peanut.

Peanut if you plan to re use it, if just frying with it one time it is not worth the expense

Electric? I am spoiled by the gas fryer at work. The dirtier the earl. The better.

IMO, peanut is better if you're frying longer, ie: a turkey. It's a good oil but for everything but turkey I use canola.

I agree with this. Peanut oil is good shite, but it's super pricey. I wouldn't bother with it unless I had bigger plans for it.
