Let me know if you do give it a go. I usually reuse the oil 2-3 times but after that it gets a bit manky. Hi Paula

Do you think it will work well with yams? Another reason I've avoided frying is what seems like a waste of oil. You mentioned you can strain and save it, but how long does it keep and how many times can you reuse it? I’m another that has been scared of deep frying, can’t wait to try this.

Once your oil is hot try tossing in a veggie peeler sliced potato into the mix- fresh crisps anyone? No fear of frying, just the clean-up.

It works the same as burning a candle while smoking a cigarette, the candle flame seems to "burn off" the oil smell. Must be a basic white candle, not beeswax or scented. And I am going to make chops this way as well, how awesome!! (also scared of frying but will deep fry poppadums and prawn crackers on the odd occasion because they're so quick!)

I tried these for dinner tonight (poutine style: topped with cheese curds and gravy). I am completely blown away by this method. Easier than baking (I actually ran across this method when I was looking up baking temps) and way easier than traditional frying methods. They turned out perfectly cooked and crispy (and retained their crispness better than most restaurant fries). Now I can't wait to make them again! Thanks for sharing this great recipe. Wow!
