deep fat oil

[Connemmara]

Anybody recommend a good above-mentioned oil. Dont know much about it but is Groundnut Oil good.

[poodicat]

Groundnut is best used for flavouring and frying lightly,i suggest a vegetable oil or sunflower oil for deep fat frying

[merciasounds]

I use rapeseed oil. It's flavourless, cooks at a high temp and isn't bad for you - it's high in the good fats and low in the bad

[Connemmara]

thanks all. Will try rapeseed.

Isn't that expensive?

Dunno about you but my DFF takes about 3 litres of oil. I buy a bog standard drum of oil from my local asian shop. Cheap? Me? You betcha :P

I am actually looking for a good oil to fry tempura battered prawns.

Use mine for just chips...lol
