my steaks are moist and so is the roast chicken i do.the amount of fats running out are not in me anymore.

 

[wheelo]

the only time a steak should see a frying pan is to sear the juices in.after that if you cant do it on a char broiler or barbecue,you wouldnt last long where i work.lol.i cut our steaks myself at our restaurant.

Hi all can you use supermarket block lard in a closeable lid based delongi deep fat fryer or has it got to be bottled vegetable oil i.e crisp n dry,tempretures can exceed to 180 to 190 degrees thanks in advance.

Dripping is from beef, lard is from pork, no reason you can't use them for deep frying. You can also use duck fat. All of these have a lower smoke point than an oil designed for deep frying and won't last as long.

Might be health issues with animal fats.

Most caterers, chip shops use oil as it lasts longer and is therefore more economic to use.

Beef fat isn't that expensive - around here (NW England) we eat our chips cooked in veg oil but in Manchester chippies they seem to have everything cooked in beef dripping.
I don't think their heart attack rates are higher than ours but most of them are extremely ugly;)
