I've never had my pot of oil catch on fire...
.. what am I doing wrong?

I like tearing floppy flour tortillas up and frying them too.. cronchy!

My favorite french fries alternative though, is plantains. Cut 'em up into 1/2 inch "coins" and pan fry 'em for just a minute or two. Take 'em out and smash them with a mallet or your fist. Stick 'em back in the oil and fry till golden brown. Salt them suckers up, and eat 'em while they're hot.

mmmmmm... tostones!

what kind of oil did he use? you're not supposed to be cooking with lamp oil

like iTech said, the correct way to make fries (other than using a deep fryer) is to heat up a pot of vegetable oil...

I've seen a 19 year old microwave a cake for half an hour before but this just takes the biscuit. Hot oil + water? Div

(seconds, not minuites you div. Had to replace the microwave and dorm rooms smelt of smoke for days. Somewhat worried that the fire alarm didn't go off

)

Step 1: Fill pot with oil.
Step 2: Throw in potatoes.
Step 3: Light open flame under pot of said flammable oil.
Step 4: ???
Step 5: Profit!!!

Amirite?

So, no-one answered my question. Is this the recipe that he followed?

me and my brother when we were living together managed to make coal outta taco shells... was meant to have em in the oven for like 5 seconds
when we had them there for aslong as it took to start smelling burnt

our kitchen smelled burnt for two days

lol
we forgot to take em out cause we were having such an intense discussion

Elrinth.. sounds just like me and my friend!
Or well, we had the "extra turbo heater" on the oven... the one you should turn off when it's hot enough... and he put the taco shells in there... i didn't know it... and then it started to smell...

go figure!!!

anyway, we had some back up shells

But oil in a pot on the oven.... that's the way to go if you dont have a fryer!
That's how we've always made scampi fritti (haha, wonder what that is in english?). thogh, we don't have gas.. we have those electrical thingies, and an oil termometer.... works like a charm!

 

[SeanoRLY?]

For a 13 year old, you certainly do have very good punctuation and spelling, and you dnt tlk lik dis. (This is a compliment, lol)

;P

But anyway, yeah, your brother sounds pretty retarded.
