Re: Which Magazine - Best Oven Chips
On the subject of deep fat fryers/chip pans...my mother used to use a chip pan with lard instead of oil. When it cooled down and solidified, we scraped the top layer off once in a while to get some of the burnt bits off (my day used to spread this on bread and eat it). Once in a blue moon we used to warm the fat up and decant it so we could give the pan a wash and put the fat back in. Topped it up occasionally with some more lard. Because it was solid when cold, worry of spillage during storage was never an issue. This lasted us for literally years before we decided to replace the fat/lard.How often do you replace the oil in your fryer?

I use an air fryer with an oil spray.
No more soggy chips.

Using my mother’s, probably 60 years old chip cutter, l fry the chips in my tiny deep fat fryer, once for five minutes.
I take them out, let the oil heat up again and then immerse the chips again. Occasionally, l give them a third fry.
I find the par fried chips l have frozen, from my freezer are lovely too and not at all soggy.
Yes, l know they are very unhealthy but occasionally, it doesn’t hurt!!

Re: Which Magazine - Best Oven Chips
I never buy French Fries from the market. Always make my own using my handy-dandy French Fry cutter.And I always prepare them with a 2-step method. 1st I fry them to PARTIALLY cook them. (at a lower temp) but I pull them out before they start to turn brown. They are set aside until needed.
The final step I turn the heat on the oil up to 365 F (185 C.) and fry them until the correct color.

Re: Which Magazine - Best Oven Chips
Self filtering chip pan for meWas a bit expensive but so worth the cost as the oil can be filtered and the pan washed out keeping the oil cleaner for longer
I use Agria potatoes for chips, they are my personal fav for roasting and chipping, crisp up beautifully
