Re: What do you use for frying?
the correct answers are lard, butter, and olive oil.
now i'm here, and history is vindicated.
Re: What do you use for frying?
Usually good olive oil. Butter for eggs. Often I'll mix a little butter in with the olive oil. That's always nice. For high heat I use peanut oil.
I never use lard. It's simply not popular here, not part of our culinary culture. But I've heard it tastes very good. In Quebec it's butter. Also, Quebec is one of the very few places in the world where it is illegal to have butter coloured margarine. The butter lobby won't allow it. There have been many, many court cases over it but the butter lobby always wins. Go Butter Lobby!
Frying in margarine is GAH!

Re: What do you use for frying?
I have to admit, I didn't realise that one could fry wih margarine, I thought it just evaporated, or something.

Re: What do you use for frying?
crisco and margarine are both hydrogenated oils (usually vegetable oils). neither should be mentioned in a thread about cooking.

Re: What do you use for frying?
Gentlemen,
Let's keep the "WTF"s to a mininum.
Better yet, not at all. We all know what it means and it isn't wanted here.
Thanks.

Re: What do you use for frying?

Depends. If I'm preprocessing eggplant, squash, potatoes, green pepper etc. then I use no oil at all and fry them softly in a steel pan. I use sunflower/corn/peanut oil for frying meat, onions, garlics etc. prior to cooking. Butter shall be used for eggs, tomatoes etc., which will be consumed after the frying without any further cooking operation.
Olive oil, I never use in frying or cooking. Fire just wastes the poor substance. I consume it raw, often with apple vinegar.
Margarine and alike can never make it into my kitchen.

Re: What do you use for frying?
I use either sunflower oil or olive oil, depending on which one is closest to the front of the condiments cupboard when I open it.
They both seem to taste pretty much the same.

From popatoes to sardines, it's olive all the way. I can fry eggs in butter if need be. Margarine is for greasing doors, bikes or girlfriends.

Re: What do you use for frying?
I don't fry- I use a Cajun Microwave. For those of you who don't know, that is food placed under tinfoil, on a hot car lid.
Yes, I am kidding- but there are people I know who do that. Mostly crazy people.
Re: What do you use for frying?
Olive oil for almost every thing. Eggs are the exception, I use a little bacon grease.

Vegetable and Sunflower oil.

I wish I could cook..
Re: What do you use for frying?
You don't need to know how to cook to fry... You just get some lard (unless it is bacon), and something edible, put them both in a frying pan or deep-fat-fryer and put it on a high heat until it is soaked in grease or black.
