I just dumped about a tablespoon of 375 degree canola oil on my thumb.

[Magrittes Pipe]

Ouch.

[mac56]

1. dude!

yeee OwwwwwwwwwwwWWwwwwwwwwwwwwwwCH!!

[GOPisEvil]

2. Well, you'll never do that again.

Ouch. Just...ouch.

[democracyindanger]

3. Coulda been worse

Coulda dropped it on another appendage.

[Magrittes Pipe]

4. But I generally wear clothes while deep-frying.

[democracyindanger]

6. No guts, no glory.

[Tsiyu]

5. Damn, Baby

You might wanna put some apple cider vinegar on that right away and keep that puppy in ice water. Youch!!!!!!!!

[Cha]

7. Sorry, get some Aloe

Vera and nerosporin.

[terrya]

8. Yikes...sorry to hear that.

Damn, that had to have been painful.

[redqueen]

9. Canola?

Why canola?

Oh yeah, sorry about the pain and all. :pals:

[GOPisEvil]

10. Fairly high smoke point, subtle flavor.

Very good for sauteeing when no additional flavor is required. :hi:

[Magrittes Pipe]

12. Not sauteeing this time. Deep frying.

Platanos fritos.

[redqueen]

14. You're deep-frying platanos?

I usually slice and pan-fry.

Mmmmmm... platanos...

[GOPisEvil]

16. Mmmmmm...it'll work for that, too.

Although peanut or safflower oil has a higher smoke point.

Platanos fritos are the caca!

[Magrittes Pipe]

19. Peanut adds too much flavor for what I wanted.

And I don't have any safflower.

[redqueen]

13. Hmmm...

I just don't like the whole rapeseed thing. I know, I know... it's detoxified and whatever... but still... I think I'll stick with peanut & sunflower.

Thanks for the info! :hi:

[GOPisEvil]

18. Safflower is good, too.

Peanut is really good for frying! You're welcome. It's nice when watching the Food Network pays off. :hi:

[Magrittes Pipe]

11. Because it has a high smoke point...

...and it's a pretty healthy fat. Not olive oil healthy, but still.

[redqueen]

15. Thanks...

Hear ya on the healthy fat...

Who the hell can fry in olive oil? I wish I could afford to do that.

[Magrittes Pipe]

17. Well, yeah....

Tastes good (okay, not with plantains :P), but too pricey for me to deep-fry in.

[jmowreader]

21. You can't fry in olive oil

The smoke point is too low.

Now, get you some canola oil and add a little olive oil to it...you get the nice olivey taste and the canola takes the heat.

[Magrittes Pipe]

23. You can fry in olive oil.

It just won't get very crispy. ;)

[nickgutierrez]

20. That'll teach ya to not do that again. n/t

[Magrittes Pipe]

22. Come on, now...

...like mommy lets you use the stove by yourself.

:hide:

[greatauntoftriplets]

24. Years ago I worked with a woman....

who liked to go nekkid when she was at home. You should have seen this woman. :eyes:

She burned her tit frying bacon and ended up in the hospital for burn treatment. What a damn sensitive location that was! And her tits were....if I may say so....enormous.

[blue neen]

27. Remember that commercial

"I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan...
'cause I'm a woman, W-O-M-A-N!"

[Tsiyu]

28. How bout the country hit: "lovin' you's like fryin' bacon nekkid."

x(

[EC]

25. Why?... n/t

[Beware the Beast Man]

26. Yet you somehow manage to post on DU with an injured hand.

:eyes:

Oh...

[ashling]

29. suggestion:

don't do that
