    Deep Fryers

    Thank you for the replies.The reason I would like to go as high as 400F is to shorten the temperature ricovery time of the oil when cooking at 750F(french fryes 2nd bath),turning down the heat just after puting the food in.I think the faster the food cook the less oil is absorbed.for the time...

    What does Brie taste like?

    PA ,you are right.The Brie found in most US stores is made with ultra pasteurized milk & barely aged with the result of tasting like sour plaster.You can find the real thing throught William-Sonoma,Dean Delucca & other.You won't believe the difference.
