How else would you make scotch eggs?

Actifry for the win.

Perfectly normal, but get an Actifry.

Fryers will kill everyone sooner or later, by either tragic accident or coronaries.

Poor oil out into a Pyrex dish and see if it's contaminated with water.

Almost certainly isn't dangerous and just water in the oil from something or the other. Deep fat fryers are very excited bubbly things when there's moisture about.

More than likely this, is the oil old? pour it out use fresh oil, if still same, duck and cover.

run an extension lead into the garden and stick your fryer out there. Maybe put it in a steel bin. Sat on paving slabs.

I did this days later with an old CRT monitor I accidentally poured wine over*. It made buzzing noises, but sadly didn't explode. Still, video it just in case. Use the macro mode.

Die old or die happy?

* The wine involved may or may not have played a part in the situation.

The one time I made scotch eggs with my mum it was just a hardboiled egg coated in sausage meat and flour then breadcumbs + fried in a pan.

Just remember that boiling oil and water don't mix well if you want to avoid a BLEVE.

Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion.

Oven chips are the pits.. roasted potatoes, wedges, fine, not chips, just NO.

Fryer update to those who are interested!

Seems my chips were still saturated with water after blanching them. Will try and figure out how to keep said chips dry and tasty. I'm making the chips myself.

Thread was well worth it as I've now discovered the Tefal Actifry.

You can't Actifry a mars bar right? =p

They've always seemed like a skin graft waiting to happen to me.

If you have time, wire rack and in the fridge for an hour or so. Drys them out and get a better result.

If not just let them steam dry for a few mins once you've drained them.

Or dump the bloody thing! Blanch chips, a little olive oil, salt and pepper then bang them in the oven for 40 min.

Just buy a class four laser, might take forever, but at least its more interesting.
