how do you cook chip-shop chips?
 

As topic really - I'm sure there's a method to cooking home chips so that they're like the chip shop....

Temperature of the fat?
Type of potato?

Etc

Any suggestions - an no. I'm not going to the chippy!! :D

300 degree celcius deep fat fryer:D in beef dripping

very hot oil!!!

thought I'd submerge my head to test it out!!! :D

I deleted that post just incase some kids read it and try it :D

Do not do that you fool:nono:









































you will ruin the taste :p

Oven chips all the way :thumb:

Maris Piper, beef dripping and 188C. That's how we made them when I worked in a chippy.

I wouldn't go with the suggestion of 300C as cooking oils tend to have a flashpoint of around 320C ;)

Maris piper or King Edwards spuds.
Peel
Soak to de-starch
Cook in groundnut oil at 130c for 7 mins
Cool
Cook in groundnut oil at 190c for about 2 mins

PERFECT CHIP.

Chip:)

I have worked in 5 and only 4 of them burnt down:razz: (the other one melted)

Flame grilled chips? It could catch on...

90% of the chipshops in the north of the UK use beef dripping.

End of.

Yep dripping or like my local LARD

Cut, soak, blanch, cool, cook stick on some chip shop curry sauce and enjoy.

:eek: You know that stabbing feeling in the chest? thats a heart attack that is :D

Aye I know, I'm a nurse:D

Awesome keep up the lard soaked beverages and you can pick your own spot in the mourgue:thumb: Our fecking local stopped selling fried mars bars last year:mad: I mean what could be healthier:razz:

The type of potato is very important - Maris Piper or Kerrs Pinks. Even the same variety but from different locations makes a difference - my local greengrocer sells Scottish and English Maris Pipers. The English ones make far nicer chips :(:(

lol - did some Maris Pipers in vegetable oil (regular chip pan), cooked them for about 10 mins. cooled em and cooked em up again.


The covered them in curry sauce!!! :D

Yummy :D

Beef dripping all the way - go try The Magpie in Whitby - superb grub :D

Use beef dripping as stated above.

Vegetable oil does not do well when heated to that temperature and starts to create toxins.

Also having a big bath of hot dripping helps as the temperature holds up when the chips go in so they cook really evenly.

maris pipers, cut very chunky, rinse. place in a collander above a pan of boiling water for 5 mins. Let cool, deep fry at 190 degrees in 4 - 5 stages to keep the oil hot..

crispy, fluffy chips every time !!!

If you want some of the best chips around, and fish to go with 'em, try either Carvers Fish Restaurant, (with chippy next door) in Scunthorpe, or Steels in Cleethorpes.

Both have fish fresh off Grimsby docks daily.

Unbeatable.
