OK, smart people: French Fries. |
|
So, we're gonna get some takeout burgers. Keep them warm until we're ready to eat. Does ANYBODY know ANY WAY to keep Fries warm/hot and tasty? Not either mushy or hard as nails? Nothing I've ever tried works.

You eat them as soon as they come out of the fryolator.
Other than that, you're screwed.

Eventually, they will dry out though.

7. Those are freedom fries, pal. Get it straight. |
|
And the only way to keep freedom fries hot and tasty is to use plenty of explosives, preferably where there are rich deposits of civilians.

8. Heat up some oil to 375 |
|
and re-fry them for 2 minutes. That might be too much work, but it's really the only thing that works.
That's how I cook fries.. Fry em once at 350 until they're floppy, remove and cool, then re-fry at 375 until crispy.

14. A cook in a Paris bistro taught me that. |
|
I'll be damned. Real FFs are twice cooked. How'd you know that?

20. Did the Belgians actually invent them? |
|
I think I read somewhere that they did and the sneaky Frogs stole it. ;-)

15. as someone who has done time in the fast food industry |
|
I must say that re-frying the fries has proven to be an effective technique.

17. The only thing I can think of is to wrap them in foil. |
|
Maybe pop the foil packet into the oven (the regular oven, not the microwave) for a few minutes before you eat them.
