This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Sure, but not usually with enough oil to pour out of the pan after cooking.

That depends on the dish - a Wiener Schnitzel for example should be able to move freely in the oil (because it should be kept moving while frying), or the breading will be pretty underwhelming. Same goes for most stuff with breading. I always try to be very conservative in my cooking oil usage, but in those cases it's just not an option.

Ooh that makes sense, and I want schnitzel now.

Do you make potato fries in a pan?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

A lot of people do, actually. Seasoning them right for them to come out more "french fry" than "dried potato" is more involved than a lot of people might like, but I personally don't do it because I'm being picky about the flavor. I don't own a deep-frier and salted-dried-potatoes are good enough with a lot of entrees.
