Favorite fried food is zucchini fritters which I fry in olive oil. Do you have perhaps a video on frying in olive oil since it’s a much healthier oil than the alternatives as long as you don’t reach the smoke point.
“Shallow frying”…I must have a different concept of “shallow frying”. Those examples had so much oil that it was almost deepfrying or something in between. Shallow frying should in fact have only a little layer of oil, olive oil, etc.
My grandma used a huge cast iron skillet for shallow fried chicken 🍗 and it was delicious 🎉
Breaded mushrooms, also egg rolls 😋 Thank you 🌸
One would think shallow frying and deep frying is self explanatory😳
There is a similar tool for candy making but it’s a bunch of round knives for cutting….who has shag carpets anymore? Lol
