Deliver it to 3490 Stupid Ville Avenue in Hobo Land, PN. I think you know where I am talking about because for you to ask a stupid question like that, you must live there!

Making sure you have a non-stick pan definitely helps! Another thing is a little splash of olive oil. Put a little olive oil in your pan, heat it up, and crack your egg on top for perfect sunny side up eggs.

Neither. It is an object. It may be made of elements or compounds like Copper, Iron or Zinc.

Food that is cooked by fully or partially submerging in some type of heated fat.

660.32 °C, 1220.58 °F

For such uses, it makes no sense to make a product out of a material which will melt near its working temperatures.

You can fry nearly any cheese.... softer cheeses can be more difficult, as they'll get melty, but look at mozzerella sticks- it can be done!

I never cover mine. However, I prefer to slow roast at a low temperature. See related links below for my cooking method.

Coconut oil has a smoke point of about 350 degrees F (171 C), which means it is not suitable for high temperature cooking.

Yes, but you should store it separately and not use it to fry thing like doughnuts or other sweet things. French fries could be fried in this oil, however. Fish oil can also be saved, but should only be used for frying fish again.

"Light" olive oil will smoke less than "Virgin" olive oils and be fine for most frying purposes. If you want more flavor, you can use mid grade (virgin but not extra virgin), but be careful with the temperature. The highest grades are usually used for direct consumption such as in salad dressings.

Lead is a low melting point metal and so is unsuitable for cooking utensils.

Soluble compounds of lead are also toxic.

Double frying is sometimes call par-fried. It is simply this: fry your dish (french fries, egg rolls, fish, etc.) for 2-3 minutes at about 325 degrees. They outside should be light golden, but not more. The food, such as french fries, will actually be a bit limp. Take the food out onto paper towels to drain away the excess oil. Let the food cool. Then raise the oil temperature to 375. Put the food back into the oil for 3-4 minutes, or until it is as done as you want it to be.

This process insures that the inside will be well cooked and the outside not burned. It will also result in much more crispy foods. Larger foods, such as egg rolls may actually be fried 3 times. Many restaurants par-cook the food well before serving time and refrigerate (or even freeze). Then they do the 2nd frying at serving time. This is how fast food restaurants generally do the french fries we all love.

If you planning to bake Mahi Mahi, the recommended time for baking it is 10 minutes per inch. A medium sized mahi mahi can be cooked in the oven which is preheated to 350-450 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes. It is important to lessen the cooking time if the oven temperature is increased. Make sure to keep checking the fish every 5 minutes in order to see if the flakes could be removed easily.

There are many different ways to prepare potatoes.

For baked potatoes:

- Clean excess dirt off the potatoes (do not try to rub the skin off!)

- Poke several holes with a fork into the potato

- Wrap up in paper towel and place in a bake potato bag and microwave for around 3 to 4 minutes on HIGH

- If using the oven method, preheat the oven to the desired temperature (preferably around 350 F) and wrap the potato completely in tin foil. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until the center is soft

- Take out to cool

- Best served with sour cream and bacon bits (vinegar and diced green onions optional)

For mashed potatoes:

- Clean excess dirt off potatoes

- Partially dry with a paper towel

- With a paring knife or carrot peeler, peel the skin in such a way that you are taking mostly the skin off and not the inside part

- Cut up into halves, quarters or eights, depending on the size of potato (the bigger the potato, the more halving needed to be done)

- Place into a big pot

- Pour water in the pot until the water until it completely covers the potatoes and cover with lid.

- Set on the stove top burner to boil (turn correct dial to Max) and cover with lid

- When the water has reached a hard boil, set the lid so that it slightly uncovers the pot and immediately set the stove-top burner setting to minimum

- After 20 minutes or so, test the potatoes with fork to see if they are soft (not hard, nor semi-soft nor semi-hard).

- When soft enough, drain the pot completely into the sink (use the lid as a strainer to keep the potatoes from going in)

- With a potato masher, mash potatoes until no chunks are left

- Serve with roast beef and corn, or chicken and green salad, or with a nice Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey dinner.

For scallop potatoes:

- Clean and peel as described in mashed potatoes

- Slice potatoes 1/4 inch thick each.

- Spread around and place in a cake pan

- Pour milk, flour, egg, and spices mix over potatoes (best to follow recipe for scallop potatoes)

- Bake for 30 to 45 minutes

For potato pancakes:

- Clean and peel as described in mashed potatoes

- Grate potatoes using a cheese grater (large holed grater highly recommended)

- Mix with pancake mix (as described in potato pancake recipe)

- Fry on pancake frying pan

- Serve with sour cream, vinegar, bacon bits and diced green onions

- Enjoy!!

The potato skin is a concentrated source of dietary fiber, so to get the most nutritional value from this vegetable, don't peel it and consume both the flesh and the skin. Just scrub the potato under cold running water right before cooking and then remove any deep eyes or bruises with a paring knife. If you must peel it, do so carefully with a vegetable peeler, only removing a thin layer of the skin and therefore retaining the nutrients that lie just below the skin. Potatoes should be cleaned and cut right before cooking in order to avoid the discoloration that occurs with exposure to air. If you cannot cook them immediately after cutting, place them in a bowl of cold water to which you have added a little bit of lemon juice, as this will prevent their flesh from darkening and will also help to maintain their shape during cooking. Because potatoes are also sensitive to certain metals that may cause them to discolor, avoid cooking them in iron or aluminum pots or using a carbon steel knife to cut them.

Aside from the alkaloids, raw potatoes also contain protease inhibitors, which can prevent you from breaking down protein, and resistant starches that you don't digest well and can cause digestive upset. If you get enough nutrients from other parts of your diet, you should be fine eating raw potatoes occasionally, but you'll get more nutrition out of them by cooking them to destroy the protease inhibitors and swell the starch granules. Boil potatoes between 10 and 25 minutes, depending on size and type, to become soft. You can also cook potatoes in a microwave oven, covered to prevent moisture from escaping, and still retain nearly all of their nutritional value. This method produces a dish very similar to a steamed potato, while retaining the appearance of a conventionally baked potato.

Whether mashed, baked, or roasted, people often consider potatoes as comfort food. This sentiment may have inspired the potato's scientific name, Solanum tuberosum, because solanum is derived from a Latin word meaning "soothing." Just avoid processed or fried potatoes. But fried, processed foods made with potatoes, such as potato chips and french fries, along with potatoes cooked at high temperatures, develop acrylamide, a potentially toxic and potentially cancer-causing substance. Potatoes that are boiled or steamed do not develop acrylamides.

Potatoes can be prepared in many ways. As potatoes have a neutral starchy flavor, they serve as a good complement to many meals. Their texture varies slightly depending upon their preparation, but it can be generally described as rich and creamy. Purée roasted garlic, cooked potatoes, and cashew milk together to make delicious garlic mashed potatoes. Season to taste.

I do it all the time but try to let it thaw before you do.

We cook in our microwave in two stages. First stage is thawing the meat.

Second stage is the actual cooking time for the quantity of burgers you made.

Dogs CAN eat fried chicken just as we can, but it is BEST that dogs DO NOT EAT FRIED CHICKEN. This is because the very fatty parts of the fried chicken can stimulate an acute pancreatitis or gastroenteritis in the dog--where the dog can become painful and have vomiting and diarrhea due to ingestion of something fatty or challenging to digest.

In addition, even if the dog chews up some of the bones of the fried chicken, the bones could potentially cause an obstruction in the stomach or intestine and also have the possibility of splintering and causing a tear in the stomach or intestine.

Why are you frying a pork loin?

.............................

Suet is uncooked beef or mutton (sheep) fat. So what you are getting when "frying" a pork loin cannot be "suet." The previous answer, which is actually a question, refers to the fact that a pork loin is typically roasted, not fried.

Yes. The batters are very similar. Although, a crepe has stuff you can put inside of it like applesauce or cherry pie filling. A pancake cannot roll up and hold fillings.

In general cornstarch is used to thicken liquids and can be replaced with flour, arrowroot, potato starch, tapioca, coconut flour and even instant mashed potato granules. For frying, flour, salt and pepper is a decent substitute for cornstarch.

Kettle chips are practically the same as baked. The kettle chips are just thicker and cooked longer. In my opinion, they are either cooked in a kettle, or deep fried enough so that they can call them kettle cooked.
