FriedFoods - Good, and Good for You

He sheds light on several things. He says fried foods in moderation are actually good for you, and you know you love them!

He also talks about oils: olive (I've always wondered about the different grades like virgin, extra virgin, etc - I know a simple search would clear it up but it's one of those things I never got to), soy, corn, etc...

And, he talks about the goals (crispy outside and just cooked enough inside).

It's a nice look at cooking in a way that people have done for years and years. I'm inspired! I see deep fryers in thrift shops occasionally and I guess a heavy pot would be fine, too.

Do you deep fry? If so, what are some of your favorite recipes?
