I tried it on a suggestion from a friend... I Like how the oil behaves, I like how it cooks, it does not smoke, does not stick, etc.

...But it tastes like shit. Eggs should be fried with bacon grease.

Butter is also acceptable for eggs.

Butter is acceptable. Bacon grease is preferred.

Both are great.

Ever tried lactic (a.k.a. European style) butter?

It's really good with eggs and makes a dynamite French Toast, if you're into that sort of thing.

Makes an awesome compound butter for steak too.

Try browning it (or just about any butter, for that matter) for extra flavor. Good stuff.

Kerrygold butter is great

[ - ] Fascinus 1 point 2.6 yearsOct 18, 2022 13:10:16 ago (+1/-0)

Kerrygold is great and the stuff I'm referring to has undergone a lactic acid fermentation.

Plugra is a popular brand you may be able to find in stores.

I made cultured butter by accident, once, when trying to ferment whole, unhomogenized milk into yogurt.
I somehow ended up with a cream butter top in the container.
Good stuff!

Bet that was great!

I'll have to try that sometime.

Thanks for the recommendation :)

I'll keep an eye out for it.

Not quite there yet.

Working on it :)

Are you talking about cultured butter?

That's another name for it, yes.

Try using grass fed cultured ghee for cooking. Very good stuff.

I've used grass-fed Ghee plenty. Pretty sure I've never had it cultured though. Didn't have the tang that the ferment ordinarily imparts.

Thanks for the recommendation :) I'll keep an eye out for it.

Awesome!

I happen to also be a fan of Sheep milk products, though I do not often find all that much in the way of availability.

Never had Mount Capra Ghee and I've had positive experiences with some of their other products, particularly the Whey Protein and Mineral Whey.

I've had the pleasure of frying in Duck fat before (Brussels sprout leaves are incredible fried in Duck fat) and rarely purchase in the required quantity to fill a deep fryer these days, though I always try to keep some in the pantry.

Same with leaf lard.

I've long been a fan of convection ovens and I think the main reasons the deep fryer went on the back shelf for me are that there simply aren't that many dishes I regularly cook that strictly require deep frying and the expense of replacing the oil if/as necessary.

Thanks for sharing your experience :)

I don’t really notice a taste and if there is it’s kind of gritty yet subtle

[ - ] germ22 3 points 2.6 yearsOct 18, 2022 11:36:56 ago (+3/-0)

All these fancy new oils, just stick with good ol lard.

[ - ] Fascinus 4 points 2.6 yearsOct 18, 2022 12:50:32 ago (+4/-0)

They're all good for different things.

In particular, biscuits and re-fried beans both stand out for me as a few dishes where lard really shines.

Tallow is fucking awesome too.

I do, genuine 100% avocado oil. Great for deep frying chicken thighs.

[ - ] Fascinus 1 point 2.6 yearsOct 18, 2022 11:39:20 ago (+1/-0)

I've had great luck using refined Avocado oil in the deep fryer. The high smoke point and subtle flavor make it a solid choice for this application.

Full-fat is great for making aioli, remoulade etc.

[ - ] anon 2766322 1 point 2.6 yearsOct 18, 2022 13:29:07 ago (+1/-0)

and why is this anon? is there some super-secret avocado oil egg recipe that we can't let escape into the wild?

[ - ] anon 3037552 1 point 2.6 yearsOct 18, 2022 10:43:02 ago (+1/-0)

No. But did you cook them fast with avocado oil and still get that result? Or did you still cook them low and slow?

[ - ] anon 2569688 [op] 0 points 2.6 yearsOct 18, 2022 11:04:06 ago (+0/-0)

Medium heat and took some time. I might of used too much oil though

[ - ] anon 7521573 -1 points 2.6 yearsOct 18, 2022 16:25:52 ago (+0/-1)

I rub my hand through my butt crack and flick it in the pan and cook with my own butt grease.
