Forty Rod SASS 3935 8,078 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I'm about to trying anew recipe for deep fried breaded mushrooms. Got everything together for the breading and realized that I have no idea what kind of oil to use. I have Wesson oil, olive oil, infused olive oil in seven varieties, canola oil, motor oil, lamp oil, gun oil., mineral oil.........................but I have no clue what to use. Help me out here, please. I'm a ready to go except for this and my mouth is waiting impatiently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 1,045 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Think I'd go with the olive as well. Canola sometimes has an after taste to it depending on the brand( cheaper= more after taste) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 7,497 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Do you have a recommended temperature for your oil. You should consider the temperature and the smoke point of the oil you are using. Olive oil is often too low. one thing I do in case the oil starts to smoke. I will have a cup nearby with a half cup of oil at room temperature. Or a quarter cup. If the oil in the pan gets too hot and begins to smoke , immediately add room temperature oil to your pan then lower the flame. The smoking will stop. 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chief Rick 787 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Is the oil part of the recipe or what you're going to fry it in? If you're asking for an oil to fry in - I say canola or corn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When I cook something that has bacon added, I always drain the grease, put water in the pan, drain, wipe with paper towels. Then, I use the pan for the rest of the recipe. Otherwise it is too salty for our taste. Edited January 27 by Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 add a sentence Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 483 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I use peanut oil , but as you can not , Veg oil is the other oil to use , as to temp , I would run it about 350 I have run fryers as low as 325 and as high as 375 , CB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cottonmouth Mark 59 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Avocado oil. Works better than canola or olive and has a significantly higher smoke temp. (IE other oils smoke off at lower temps). Ask me, I bought a Blackstone griddle 7 weeks ago and already have 20+ cooks on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Outlaw Gambler 172 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Everyone is over looking the best fat to use for breaded mushrooms. We use an iron skillet and on low to med low heat use only BUTTER. Nothing we have experimented with is close to the flavor of butter. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alpo 7,678 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 WD-40 ought to make it more crispy though shouldn't it? It gets rid of the water, which prevents it from being soggy. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Utah Bob #35998 16,996 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 NEVER use extra virgin olive oil for deep frying. It’s way too expensive. It is a good healthy oil however. When I fry, which is rare, I use Canola. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lemon Olive Oil Cake Recipe (So Easy & Moist!) - Averie Cooks" https://www.averiecooks.com/lemon-olive-oil-cake/YIELD: 12 Servings Lemon Olive Oil Cakeprep time 10 MINUTEScook time 1 HOUR 10 MINUTESadditional time 1 HOUR 30 MINUTEStotal time 2 HOURS 50 MINUTESLemon zest, juice, extract, and Limoncello add so much AMAZING lemon flavor to this EASY, ridiculously moist no-mixer cake that’s unique and INCREDIBLE!!INGREDIENTS• 1 1/3 cups extra-virgin olive oil• 3 large eggs• 1 1/4 cups whole milk• 1 1/2 tablespoons grated lemon zest• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice• 1/4 cup Limoncello (Gran Marnier may be substituted)• 1 to 2 teaspoons lemon extract• 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar• 2 cups + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda• confectioners’ sugar, for dustingINSTRUCTIONS• Preheat oven to 325F, add a circle of parchment paper to the base of a 9-inch springform pan, and spray the parchment paper and the sides of the pan very well with cooking spray; set aside. Do not make this cake in a regular 9-inch cake pan. Most are only about 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep and this cake rises to about 2 1/2 to 3 inches on the sides and nearly 4 inches in the center. It will overflow in a regular 9-inch pan.• To a large bowl, add the olive oil, eggs, and whisk well to emulsify and incorporate.• Add the milk, lemon zest, lemon juice (I was able to get sufficient zest and juice from one very large ripe lemon), Limoncello, lemon extract, and whisk to incorporate.• Add the sugar and whisk to incorporate.• Add the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and whisk until just incorporated; don’t overmix. The batter in on the thin side; this is normal.• Turn batter out into prepared pan, place pan on a baking sheet as insurance against a leaky springform pan, and bake for about 68 to 75 minutes. Start checking after 60 minutes since all ovens vary. Cake will be golden browned and domed in the center when done, and a toothpick inserted in the center will come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.• Allow cake to cool in the springform pan for about 1 hour before releasing it and allowing the cake to finish cooling on a wire rack.• Dust with confectioners’ sugar prior to serving. Cake will keep airtight at room temp for 1 week and although I haven't tried it, I think this cake would freeze very well for up to 3 months Quote Link to post Share on other sites
