I fried french fries in beef tallow to see if it really does taste better. It doesn't. Seed oil makes the fries taste better.Did I mess up? I made them the same way?
cows are actually a botanical seed
that's because peanut oil is goated and not a seed oil...I think.
>>21982995try lard
you must do the butter vs sneed oil next
>>21982995since when are peanuts seeds, op?
>>21983010oh shit oh fuck
>>21982995I found them quite equal in taste. Not noticeably better though. Depending on what you believe about saturaded fats and omega6 though, you might consider them healthier.
>>21983019i do roast potatoes in clarified butter and they come out tasting a little creamy, very subtle you wouldn't notice it unless i told you what they were roasted in
>>21983046hmm just imagine having such lack of knowledge and personality that you communicate in robot screenshots
>>21982995i don't like the way most animal fats taste, they all have some kind of funky gamy flavor that i don't like. soybean oil tastes bad too though, other seed oils are more tolerable.try making french fries in clarified butter.
>>21983057what time is it there? before 12pm? you're already drunk like a teenage girl. have some self respect.
>>21982995You mixed up the two batches
>>21982995Peanuts are a legume anon.
>>21983006It's a nut oil
>>21982995Soy/corn oil burn at a lower temp than tallow so food sits in it longer soaking up oil while it cooks. Peanut oil heats even hotter but is also expensive to try to deep fry with.
>>21983729it's a bean oil
>>21982995No. There are some of us around that worked at "a high volume fast food restaurant" when they switched from animal fat to vegetable fat. The difference then was slight, but noticable. Since then, they've changed their formula a few times, and now the fries are just as good as back then. It's just that no one wants to admit it.
>>21982995>Did I mess up?Afaik, no, you did not. I tried beef tallow fries too and realized that it was just a marketing gimmick. Just stick to normal oil or peanut oil or wtv you use. It's less expensive and still tastes good. If you have some animal fat leftovers from making carnitas or barbacoa, then yeah, maybe it'll make the fries taste better, or rather they'll impart some of the seasoning you used to flavour the other meal you made, but that isn't necessarily from the tallow or lard or duck fat.i've also been told by a friend that duck fat fries also sucked too, in that it wasn't special. There's a good chance that it's simply fries or potatoes that don't improve in flavour with animal fats. Like, if you did a confit in those fats for carnitas, then yeah it definitely could be an improvement for the cut of meat. But potatos/fries aren't a good choice. Dunno though
