"Rapeseed oil or for max flavour try duck fat
It's a 5 litre pan, where the hell would I get around two litres of duck fat - I imagine that would be sublime tho"
I imagine most of the supermarkets will have loads left over from Christmas. You could try a peanut oil/duck or goose fat mix?  |

It's gotta be lard, but when you've chopped yer chips, rinse them in cold water to get rid of the starch, then dry them to prevent spitting before you put 'em in the chip pan 
Oh, and red spuds every time  |

I run a restaraunt in London’s west end
Any fat in a pan has a shelf life
Heat up cool down heat up cool down it will degrade
You get fine particles in the oil it degrades
You have to change your oil regular
If you only cook chips in it it will last longer |

Any animal based fat is exactly that animal based it will go off
If you use beef dripping and veg lard providing your pans covered and you only doing chips should last 6-7 weeks then change |

"Make sure you got a thermometer on ya pan or get one and a fire blanket
Open flame hot oil can go up easy  "

I'm a little confused as to why anyone would take the risk of using a chip pan on a gas hob anyway when it's kinda dangerous and also gas is so expensive. Electric fryer with a thermostat is so much easier! |
