Had a chat with a mate last and turned out quite interesting.
So what do you cook your chips in?
-
Just a poll for a bit of fun.
Will open up the poll on friday. :y
-
Wifey makes me have oven chips but I prefer them cooked in LARD :y
-
Never quite the same as the chippy. :-/
Plus having the facilities to cook them would probably be too much temptation. ::)

Sun flower oil. Get the oil as hot as possible, cook them fast & hot. I like mine just browned with brown sauce & four slices of bread :P :P :P
-
I use 'crisp and dry'
170 degrees c, till they start browing,
then finish em off at 190 :y

Er hum. Can we stop talking about chips please :( I've had my salad for dinner & all this talk's making my mouth water :P :P :P :P

Don't know, I can only do oven chips :-[
The onlt time I cook is when the smoke alarms need testing ::)

I had to ask my butler but apparently it is sunflower oil! Bet you thought it was going to be olive oil.

not really worth a thread for it. While I was cooking my lunch there was a big juicy wood pigeon sat on the fence, and i began to wonder if I shot it then would i be able to prepare it for a pie.

Funny we were only talkin about this subject this morning. When I was a teenager my older sister worked at a deli that cooked there own chickens on a rotissorie. One evening she brought the fat that had come out of the chickens and mum put it in the chip pan. It made the nicest chips I have ever tasted to this day :). To much of that though and you'd end up with arterys like hypodermic needles :o
-
We only have the choice of oven chips at home now as we've nowt to cook 'em in, so it's usually chippy chips.
The best chips I used to get were from a cippy in Inverkeithing where they used a lard/dripping to cook them. It's a long time since I last went but had changed to a Chinese chippy now .... :'(
-
I think the best chips you can get are your mums, they always taste fantastic :)

The ideal compliment to chips cooked in dripping.
Touch of salt n vinegar.
Top with a nice piece of battered cod, mushy peas and some parsley sauce.
2/3 slices of bread and butter and a nice cold pint.
If you dont want the extra's, forget the tray, get your chips "open" and then put a piece of folder newspaper underneath (Non cokours) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

Anyone tried goose fat? :-*
Had a goose for Christmas dinner a couple of years back, just for a change from Turkey, and nearly chucked the fat that came out during cooking. Glad we didn't!
Makes the best roast potatoes ever, too. :y

never considered it for doing chips, but maybe the temperature to cook the chips at might be too high, as beef dripping is near flashpoint for chips. :-/

Goose fat has a very high flash point but is too strong a taste for chips, which by nature have much less volume than the roast potato but are served in greater numbers to the portion.
