    Hello everyone on the forums, David suggests deep frying chips at a lower temperature for 5 minutes and then 10 minutes rest then finish off at a higher temp, what temp would the lower temp be.
    I'm using Wik pure dripping and my fryer starts at 140 deg C with a maxim of 190 deg C.
    Also on the dripping label it states keep refrigerated, what happens after the fryer cools down does it need to go in the fridge until next used cause this would be a pain in the a...., I remember mum leaving the dripping out besides the stove all the time with no problems.
    And what would be a good gauge to know when to replace the dripping in the fryer, number of uses or color?.

    Mum uses dripping as well.  She has a special pot with a strainer on top that catches some of the crumbs left in the dripping.  She pours it in the pot then lets it cool for a bit and puts it straight in the fridge.  Basically when using dripping, use it a few times and toss it, because some foods especially fish you can taste in other foods.  If it looks really dirty or dark brown I'd be using something else.  My deep fryer at home is an oil one, I only use the oil for a few times then get get some fresh stuff.
