America’s Test Kitchen has the best recipe. The short form is:
Peel potatoes and cut into fries.
Rinse starch off fries.
Immerse in ice water for at least 30 minutes.
Dry.
Fry at approx. 325F until golden brown.
Remove and let fries rest for 10 minutes on paper towel.
Fry at approx. 350F for about 1 minute.
Remove to paper towel, salt and eat.
In my fryer, I set the temps to 350F and 400F. Plus, I fry longer. The second fry adds crispness; it takes about 6 minutes with my fryer.
TRABATA EXERCISE
I think you have a winner there!
The duration is not extreme, 5 or 10 minutes, here & there, not 1 or 2 hours which kills. Half hour is a good limit for running.
A commonality with straight running is the “sprint”. At the end of a run, a 1 or 2 minute sprint is performed where you run as fast and hard as you can. The idea is to hit the limit, so your body knows where the limit is.
Trabata has several sprints. And it smartly avoids a persistent sprint, such as, sprinting for an hour, is overdoing to be avoided.
Trabata sounds great because you are sucking up oxygen, deep breathing, using your whole body, like the hunter gatherers of old. The body is designed to run, at least, somewhat. The ankles are durable. It is a fantastic machine we have been given.
I’m starting to think that anything French causes cancer.
TABATA, Tabata protocol.
I think they may be more related to obesity
but they are good either way.
Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit... pass the ketchup.
Even worse when they fry them in Roundup....
What a beautiful picture! I’m firing up the larder after work.
Potato chips have acrylamide too, I believe.
“based on the studies done so far, it’s not yet clear if acrylamide affects cancer risk in people.”
That’s because it doesn’t,
“Many recent news reports say that French fries are not only bad for you, they’re linked to cancer.”
“News reports?” That should be good enough for some asshole city council to mandate that french fry eaters be served outside so as to protect others from second hand french fry fumes.
Everything is bad for you. Mother’s breast milk may contain cancer cells.
So is breathing.
In fact I think there is a higher likelihood of getting cancer from breathing than french fries.
And be told to mind your own business by all the SANE people.
> The idea is to have your body huffing and puffing, heavy breathing. Do not run marathons.
If I walk 10 feet I’m huffing and puffing like an old teakettle. Marathons ? If I’m running it’s because I’m being chased by Zombies. If I’m walking I’m looking for a chair.
Seriously though, I’ve been doing two or three miles on a stationary bike a couple of times a week or else walking a mile in a pool. Not running but breathing hard nonetheless and, yes, it does feel good.
They eat “Spotted Dick” in the U.K. so I’ll take my chances with my home grown baked spud fries.
BTW, if you didn't know, pommes frites originated in Belgium, not France. But droves of American GIs came home from France after WWI raving about them, knowing only that they were in France when they first ate them.
Does anybody really care?
I had a friend who was vegetarian.
She died of stomach cancer at 33.
She wouldn’t eat French fries as they
(at the time) we’re fried in animal
fat.
