hey bud. for the perfect chunky chips use maris piper or maris bard potatoes. cook on 160c until soft about 6-8 minutes. lift out & allow to drain. turn up the heat to 180c then cook them again until they reach the desired crispiness. this usually takes 30 seconds. i used to run a fish an chip shop. for homemade battered use cold water, plain flour a pinch of salt. you can substitute 30% of water for beer . yum. batter your fish and cook on 180c for exactly 3 minutes. battered sausages you can use frozen ones dip them in batter and fry on 180c for exactly 6 minutes. you're welcome enjoy

It is important to use the correct potatoes (King Edward, Maris Piper, Desiree) and to soak them for some time to remove excessive starch. Make sure they are dry before they are fried, and fry them a second time at a higher heat so they are golden brown and crisp outside, and fluffy inside. A sprinkle of sea salt over them before you munch helps to enhance the taste. I appreciate your natural of delivery - far more appealing than other presenters - SPOT ON!

When I had a deep fat fryer this was my method for cooking chips. First cook at 130c for about 8 to 9, this softens the potatoes but doesn't colour the outside minutes. remove the chips and set the fryer to 190c. Replace chips and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. The second fry colours the chips and crisps them while keeping them soft and fluffy inside. It is better to use a waxing potato for chips

I use a cheap £40 frier and beef dripping instead of oil. Instead of par-boiling I set the temp to 100C (this is below the lowest marking on the dial) and cook the chips till they are cooked through (a skewer goes through easily). This is the same as par-boiling really except using fat instead of water. Then I remove the chips, raise the fat temp to 190C and fry till browned. Perfect results. You can even make decent 'roast' potatoes using this method.

My tips for this, I would say are.... (1) soak ya chips in fresh water for around 1/2 hour after cutting them. This helps remove some of the starch from the outside which is what went brown so quickly. (2) Get an oven probe thermometer and check what the ACTUAL temperature is at the settings they say.(3) Find the next few numbers down (140, 130,120 etc) because it WILL maintain these temps, its just the manufacturers don't mark them for some reason. And lastly, have fun and experiment with it! Just never put things with wet batter in the basket and then lower it.... Put the basket down FIRST and then lower the food in slowly so it floats. Otherwise it will weld itself to the basket.... (Don't ask me how I know..)🤣🤣

I used to use a deep fat fryer, before getting an air fryer. I don't think you can beat the chips from the deep fat fryer. The type of potato made little difference. I didn't parboil them, but I did soak the chips in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove the starch, which helps in getting crispier chips. Once soaked, I'd pat them dry and then put them in for the first fry, but I think that it was for only about 6-7 minutes. At that point they were only just starting to go a golden brown. You then leave them to cool, before putting them in at the higher temperature for 2-3 minutes I believe. It was the second fry at the higher temperature that added the colour to the chips. You should probably test the temperature of your oil, as I think it must be hotter than what the display was saying. They shouldn't go that dark at 160C for the few minutes you cooked them. I wouldn't worry about parboiling. I've seen chip shop staff peel and cut the potatoes and then fry them, but they never parboiled them. Have you seen them do that? I would only do that for an air fryer where it can be harder to completely cook the inside of the chip before the outside is done. I've actually started twice cooking air fryer chips at different temperatures, so that I can make sure the insides are cooked before browning them at the higher temperature. I used to do deep fat fried chips a couple of times a week, and I also did fried chicken once a week (which is lovely). The only problem was that over a couple of months I put on a stone or so in weight. All that oil really makes a difference to your calorie intake. I'd stick with the air fryer for most things, and use the deep fat fryer maybe once a month for a treat. The alarm was a suitable volume, as you are NEVER supposed to leave a deep fat fryer unattended. Good luck mate!

Ha Ha, so your good lady gave into you wanting a fryer! I know a lot about frying chips, and most supermarket varieties don't work too well, not unless you buy the prepared sort. You need the type which has floury flesh when cooked. As I've said, I grow my own, and a variety called 'Royal' is perfect for chips. It's what Mc.Cain mostly use in their products, but I haven't seen them for sale in shops. Chips burn because of the sugars in the starch. Crisps are made from potatoes with very low sugar content; that's why they don't look burnt. Incidentally, unless you're a commercial grower, you can't buy them. I know 'cos I've tried. It helps if you rinse your chips first to remove the loose starch. Try frying some battered cod. I think you'll love the taste. Your fryer is twice as big as mine! All the best for tonight.

BE VERY careful in choosing the RIGHT potatoes. Some of the so called 'Baking potatoes OR potatoes that have been 'modified' ie cut one and observe how WET the inside is.. ideal for baking but rubbish for chips... We use Maris Piper OR King Edwards.. OLDER ones are ideal.. rather than the newer ones. 👍We cook on lower heat to cook the chips through then leave them stand for 10 mins or so before upping the temp on the fryer and throwing the chips back in to finish then off. ALSO we pre soak the cut chips BEFORE cooking to flush out any starch.. 😗With ANY chip frying process using your deep fat fryer.. it is mostly trial and error.. just make a mental note of what works for you. We also tend to cut SLICES or crisp like chips rather than the usual chip shape etc

Baking potatoes are fine for home fries. But if they were older or stored in a cold place, they might have more sugar/starch than a fresher one. I always soak my potatoes in cold water for at least 15 minutes and then rinse them before drying and double frying. The soaking/rinse helps remove excess starch which helps fries crisp up and it might help slow the Mailliard process which caused your spuds to brown too quickly. I've ordered an Easy Clean T-fal (slightly different name in the US and the features are a bit different) just for the oil filtration. I cannot wait for it to arrive. I've been using my Dutch oven, a GranPappy fryer and my wok for frying and it is a hassle filtering and storing oil. I like the self-contained unit that this product offers.

Top marks for getting and using a deep fat fryer, but I am afraid that you get a fail firstly for using crisp and dry oil, it is simply not the best oil to use and slightly expensive for its quality and secondly, Gareth you failed to read the plot. You were supposed to be making a chip BUTTY, yet you fail to get the butter out of your dish or fridge or wherever you keep it, never mind actually spreading it on your tea-cake(or whatever you call that type of bread in your local area, here in my neck of the woods that’s a small tea-cake or bap. ).

Hi 150 till soft, then 170 to brown , this way you can par cook a big batch Ready to finish , Never but potatos called “ whites” they are always not the best , baking potatos in store are chosen for their smooth look and size . Not their fluffiness , Try edwards or Maris piper or rooster , all give fluffy middles not a sticky texture ,

I do love properly fried chips but they aren't great for your waistline and the hazards of hot fat and kids just put me off a bit....i do still own 1 (but its away in a cupboard for now). Its a very simple meal but proper chips a fried egg (or 2) and some beans rate highly on my comfort food menu. King Edward's imo are the best spuds for chips or roasties.

They don't purify, they just remove the grit, that you still have to clean out of the bowl for next time. Things I have found are sweet potato fries turn your expensive oil orange, and that it isn't wise to deep frie breaded camembert in it when the cheese boils out and leaves you with a hollow crispy shell! (Blatant user error that one...). It's a really good design and keeps your oil better for longer. Also helps with transportation as the cassette is sealed Mine did once dump the oil out whilst the cassette was out which was annoying, but hasn't done it since.

I gave my deep-fat fryer to my granddaughter. I found it difficult to keep clean, even with the filtration. The oil was expensive too. Mine didn't come apart for cleaning. I've just ordered an air-fryer.

We got rid of ours as our autistic son who has a very selective diet then only ever wanted sausage and chips cooked this way which was becoming quite unhealthy hence getting the Ninja, also tbh they are very messy but I get why people would like them if used moderately. Looking fwd to tonight's live 👍

Well you can't beat a deep fat fryer for the chips and many other things the problem with them is they will make your house stink like a chip shop and all the grease sticks to everything like nicotine does if your a smoker plus the time you spend cleaning it. I wouldn't bother making chips just buy the designer brand frozen ones from the supermarket the oven chips fry really well and you get a nice crispy chip. If your looking for different things to fry you could do banana/pineapple fritters or what about battered scampi using your own batter much better than the mickey mouse scampi in breadcrumbs

Probably a bit of experimentation needed. I still remember how good deep fried chips were back in the day .My late mum use to use beef dripping, ( no use in your machine , I know ) chips were a bit chunkier than you had if I remember right, might be the answer ...

Probably not enough chips in the basket, the oil would drop in temperature if there were more chips, having said that the chips looked perfect to me, when you cook chips everyone thinks its a doddle, can't be that hard to be a chippy, I think everyone gets caught out the first few times, then we realise, chippies have a lot of skill to get good chips, soggy, greasy, foul smelling you can spot a mile off

Be careful when frying frozen stuff with a lot of ice buildup. The ice will turn to steam instantly and the oil will bubble and even possibly boil over. If you fry fish, be prepared to change the oil or have everything afterwards taste fishy.

That looks a cracking deep fryer Gareth,for chips i use either Maris Piper or King Edward.I use mine for tattie croquettes,scampi,chicken goujons in breadcrumbs.All the frozen stuff with batter or bread crumbs taste better done in the deep fryer.Only occasional use but can't beat em.I do the 3 cooked method with chips but it's a bit of a faff so don't do it that often.Par boiled for 5 mins,deep fry at 130c for 5 mins then 190c to the colour of your choice.
