Our 'Club' deep fryer gets treated to dripping. Probably not the healthy option, but you're going to wake up dead at some stage, so may as well go out eating something tasty. Everything goes through it. Spud chips, chick nibbles,drumsticks, sausages, diced up steak, seafood, onions,yams, porkcrackling, chicken necks...........
Siphon (not when hot).
Aaa, yes, siphon, thanks rushy, didnt think of that, but I dont want a mouth full of oil to get it started, so where do I get a cheap siphon, bearing in mind that our treasurer is a bit tight (good bugger, but wants receipts and boring stuff like that)
Rice bran oil plus a couple of tubs of dripping :thumbsup:
Castrol gtx
Use a clear 6-16mm hose cut long enough to go from bottom of fryer over the edge and down to the floor.
stand upright and suck on hose watching it fill towards your mouth,within a inch or two of mouth rempve from mouth and block with thumb, lower thumb and hose to recepicle that is lower that the bottom of fryer and release thumb.
Shit the bed you just drained the fryer!.
You don't need to suck it. Just lower into the fryer (cold of course) until the end is an inch or so from the surface. Block with your thumb and lift out and over the side to the bucket where it's to be drained. Release thumb.
Fill fryer with goose and/or duck fat. Cook chips. Feed to Tom.
Church going clean as lad huh? So you think the missionary position is for the Englishman at the front of the church in the Congo?
Another for Rice Bran oil good for chips & fish. Can get it in 3L
Only one thing to fry in to keep the standard high. Beef dripping. End of story.
Just ask Harry Ramsden
If it's a commercial type you should be able to pull a panel off the front and a tap will be there. I recommend peanut oil, it's pretty forgiving with temperature and doesn't have a lingering smell.
technically your frying medium will start to degrade (oxidise) the moment you first use it. Degraded medium boils/burns/smokes at a gradually decreasing temperature. Topping up such fat with new fat will degrade it all. That's why commercial dryers replace the medium regularly.
Regular filtering helps (commercial fryers every night in some establishments though weekly is minimum).
Keep the oil/fat well covered/sealed and cool as possible in between uses. Walk in cooler?
Personally I liked chefade or frygold. Not cheap though. For home roasties the boys are dead right; horse or goose fat.
Fryers. Not dryers. Sheesh
Almost as old as NZ :thumbsup:
If health and taste is a consideration then go to a vegetable oil like canola. Generic vegetable oil in Aust and NZ is usually 100% canola also. Change it after every 10 hours of frying.

Roughly 1% of the population are allergic to peanuts. Just something to take into consideration regarding peanut oil.
Mrs is on this coconut oil bandwagon, it hardens up when cold like dripping and has a high smoke point, aparently its healthier for you. Doesn't leave any taste on food.
