I pan-fry a lot of stuff, even chicken sometimes, but I use the cast deep-fryer for French fries, zeppoles and beignets, etc.

I usually pan fry chicken. I prefer to get that nice brown spot on it from resting on the pan bottom. So long as you've got enough oil the rest of the chicken is golden brown but then you get those spots on either side that are just heaven.

If I'm doing an egg-and-cornmeal batter, I deep fry it - if I'm just doing it with panko, I pan-fry it.

Dad did it alright until he put chips in. And then somehow, burning oil managed to bury itself into the hob, and wouldnt turn on (god knows how).

New cooker, and NO NO NO deep fat fryer.

Last day in Paris, so my posting should pick up in regularity again after my jet-lag wears off.

They call them frites.

AFAIK, the US is the only place to call them French Fries. Everywhere else in the English speaking world just calls them chips (unless you're in a McDonald's).

Chips and Fries are two different things. One is made of Potato and the other is made from some form of mulch that used once to be a potato, or at least the vast majority of them are.

Huh. We have those, mostly sold under the brand name "Pringles." They look like completely uniform potato chips, but are made out of some emulsion of mashed-up potato bits. In an interesting bit of irony, they are referred to over here as "potato crisps."

Why did I have to read that on my lunch break when all I have is a turkey sandwich?!
