    Hey Big Willy, I got a great story for ya. One time I was changing the oil in my old '97 Chevy Cheyenne. It was somewhat windy that day but not too bad so I decided to proceed. As the used motor oil was draining and while I was still under the truck, a big gust of wind blew below the truck. It blew the stream of oil right at my face (my mouth was open at the time too), and a bunch of used motor oil got right in my mouth. It was a disgusting taste and I could not get it out of my mouth for the life of me. The oil just formed a thin film and would not go away. I ended up rinsing my mouth with Dawn and water (which was also disgusting, but hey), and it eventually got the oil out of there. 0/10, not recommend for french fries.

      I had a strange issue on an engine once where I pulled an injector to inspect and oil went down on the piston and my first instinct was to suck it out with a drinking straw then spit it in a bucket. After about the 3rd round I decided I'd rather have to wash the shop vac. -10/10 from me. At least Willy used fresh oil, I was expecting him to drain something first to get some.

If that wasn’t already bad enough, a wild Escalade parked with its oil pan directly over my face, then it spit it’s drain plug out and proceeded to pee in my mouth. Please stop spreading misinformation, luckily my uncle who happens to be a supervisor saw it all happen, which obviously proves I’m right (no you can’t talk to him, he’s very busy with his new job at one of Walmart’s overseas locations and our free time never overlaps because of the time zone difference in Pyongyang)

    @LogicalNiko 6 месяцев назад +87

    BTW mineral oil is indigestible and a laxative.
    So a few things with oils: If you are frying properly very little oil is absorbed by the food, thus rendering its taste influence pretty minimal. The water in food being deep fried turns to steam increasing the internal pressures. As the steam escapes it is pushing out the oil and creating very thin barrier between the food and the oil (thus the bubbling). Cooking at lower temperatures will impart more taste but that leaves an oil soaked piece of food. Fries that are cooked low one time and finished at a high heat a second time will retain more flavor of the oil from the first frying.
    So a few things on safety: Generally fry in pan that is much deeper than you need to contain overflow. Electric or induction is much safer than an open flame with hot oil. Covering things deep frying will trap more moisture, which you are trying to get rid of. Pat anything being fried dry as water will flash boil and has a high risk of fire or injury.

Pressure fryers are definitely a thing, and are the only reason fast food fried chicken is possible. I had forgotten about that. Probably the same effect as high-g deep frying. Frying whole chicken parts with a normal fryer takes a really long time and is actually sort of difficult to do well. The areas near the bone in particular are hard to get to 165 degrees without overcooking the shit out of the rest of the piece. At an institutional scale, usually the chicken is partially fried, then finished in an oven. From my experience at least.

    most modern engine oils have detergents in them to keep contaminants suspended so that the cars oil filter can remove them, motor oil fries might be better with a small engine oil that doesn't have the detergents because most small engines are splash lubricated (you want the contaminates to settle out into the sump)
