Peanut Oil

[JEM]

I've never been much for fried foods except for the occasional chicken or turkey.

Maybe partly because I could never seem to cook with it right. Always ended up with a metalic taste.

Anyway, when your wife is a marketing director for the local Chick-fil-a, you learn a thing or 2 about deep frying by default.

The secret to easy and tastey frying: peanut oil. I use it on the rare occasion I pan or deep fry something instead of vegy oil. Makes all the difference in the world for me.

I coudn't agree with you more Matt. I use it in my outdoor cooker for wingsl, turkey, fish, shrimp, and more. The secret to frying is keeping the oil at the proper temperature. If it's too cool, the food you are cooking aborbs the oil. I can't make a turkey unless it's fried in the outdoor cooker. Everyone here loves it that way.

I have cooked fish several times. When i,m @ my camp I cook in that good ole cast iron frying pan. Don,t have no problem with fish sticking. when I cook them @ home I some times cook them outside in a cooker . I have used both stainless steel & aluminum pots . Some times the fish stick. Is the problem oil not hot enough or do I nee that peanut oil? (CATFISH)

Catfish, Make sure your oil is hot before you place the fish in the pan.
