Yeah, but that old recipe used animal fat (most properly spoken with a snarl.)

Yes, wire rack or brown paper from grocery bag(make sure it is clean) or a colander.

" I did my doctoral dissertation on this very subject ;-)" Where does the absorption of the hot Frymax fit in?

Maybe mcdonald's should just go back the to classic french fries - you know, the ones that didn't suck. Lard, baby, Lard.
When I go to Mexico when I get things like taquitos, enchiladas and flautas they taste soooo good to these poor American taste buds because they use The Real Stuff.

When Ray Kroc opened the first McDonalds in Des Plains, my Dad would sometimes get us dinner there. THOSE WERE FRIES!
To: Denver Ditdat
Yes, you can get a cheesburger, small fries and a small coke for around 3 bucks.

I was wondering about that to. If they got so sick before why did she take them back?

I will try that although I do very little deep fat frying. I noticed the grease around my stove is much less, and I haven't done any since I last cleaned it all up with ammonia. When I was playing with my wok, even though I turned on the stove vent/fan, there were sticky spatters of grease all over, even the floor. I do a lot of regular frying of meat to brown it before it goes in the oven, hamburgers, bacon, etc. Don't eat much fried eggs any more.
I like to use my non-electric wok for deep fat frying. Guess I need a thermometer. Had a nice fryer once, got all sticky, got rid of it. Had a fry daddy. Useless.
Every so often though, I would like to learn to deep fry things right. So thanks for the suggestion. The only things I really like are fresh or frozen seafood which is a lot of work coating and breading (don't like frozen pre-breaded), french fries, fritters and doughnuts, just for treats and not on a regular basis.
I did finally figure out how to do hash browns from scratch (too bad I didn't figure that out years ago), not too often, but a real treat when I do. I shred the potatoes in cold water and drain it out just before frying in regular cooking oil which has to be hot, lightly cover, and flip and finish.
My mil used to make ferden so I had to get a ferden pan and learn that (it takes lots of fat), every so often make some of those.
We really shouldn't eat too much of that stuff as the cholesteral builds up and just eating cheese sticks and stuff from restaurants like egg rolls is plenty at my age.

We just don't go to McDonald's -- for health reasons Hate their hamburgers, do get their fish sandwiches sometimes, love their Cobb salads and every so often a big breakfast. I can practically go all day and into the evening on a big breakfast.

The wok work and the deep frying are done outdoors on propane burners. We use a 2 gallon pot with 1 gallon of oil for deep frying. Makes great fries, chicken wings and meat balls.
The wok is a large one 24" diameter across the top. The propane burner is turned to high and sounds like a jet engine going over head but you can properly char red peppers and stir fry 2 pounds of chicken or pork or beef in it.
Doing any of this indoors would require a commercial kitchen ventilation system. The pepper fumes can be choking.

How did you measure the molecular resonance?

How did you measure the molecular resonance? A very, very tiny ruler? Okay, okay, I'm not a scientist...I just play one on the Internet ;-)

So these kids have been eating the McDonald's fries all along and only when this disclosure has been made it becomes a problem? Curious isn't it? When they didn't know what was in it they could it it just fine without a reaction. Makes you think the allergy is really all just a mom's hysteria.

I was alergic to most McDonald's products while growing up. My family didn't eat at McDonald's.
Things like this are so difficult to work out. /s

Can your son tolerate Oats.Oats are out for him. We tried it and the results were... very bad.
