There is nothing better than homemade chips cooked in a chip pan.

Amen! Those frozen ones taste like cardboard if you don't eat them the second they come out of the pan.

Homemade chips fell out of favour here as so many chip-pans caught fire and caused a lot of serious fires.  Deep fat fryers then became fashionable as they were deemed safe, but when people realised they were such a bugger to clean they too fell by the wayside.

The resulting thing was the 'oven chip'! Bleh..  Although Aunt Bessie's are rather splendid.

This is what I end up doing most of the time because you can forget the whole thing in the oven for a long time without further work or worries. But it's NOT the same thing as real french fries/chips.

We use a deep fat fryer, but then we do have to make a fair amount in one go.

And that's the very reason why that thing is so useful when we fry empanadas. Is this the cooking thread?  :D

I am in the process of constructing 2 bespoke counters for an Italian caf?, but I have no idea where I am going to gloss the base units as I usually do it in my garden (no effing chance of that today - or this year by the looks of it!).

*WARNING - BAD PUN ALERT*

It sounds like the cause and results of a terrible attack.  EMP occurs, then "nada" works.

I'm feeling rather pleased with myself at the moment. ;D Out of boredom, I just made my first batch of homemade caramel candy ever. Of course, now I have to wait to try it.  :-\
