Oh yes!! Mobi could sell dripping cakes (pork dripping sandwiches) with his chips. Nothing easier to make. Beware of temperature issues; dripping should not be too runny.

I use Rice Bran oil for all frying but I thought maybe there is a better one for Frying chips etc.

I boil the potatoes first to par cook them for chips, just the way my dear ole mum taught me.

Your mum was right. That first oil-fry at low temperature is basically the same as par-boiling them. But doing it in oil does mean that you don't get a huge rush of boiling water when you finally put them into the hotter oil.

Rice bran oil has a high smoke point so should be fine. I've seen it in Makro and I think the price was about the same as canola but I've never tried it. Does it have much flavour?

Here I tend to use just olive oil or canola or sunflower, depending on what I'm doing.

I like the rice Bran oil because no yukky flavor like palm oil, its a bit more expensive than the other oils but still cheaper than Olive.

what about the jelly.

Right. I'll get some of that next time I go to Makro. I like the flavour of olive oil on things like pasta, pizza and (non-Thai) salads, and I put a splash in my bread dough, but it's much too strong for frying.

Rice Bran oil is one of the lowest saturated fat oils around, 18%, and with a relatively high smoke point, so better than Canola for frying. The foreign name brands are very expensive, but there's a Thai brand that's as inexpensive as sunflower oil. The catch is it's only labelled in Thai, you have to look very carefully to see the (100% Refined Rice Bran Oil) text in English.

Palm oil is one of the worst wrt saturated fat, 41%, avoid it if you can.

What is beef/pork "drippings" anyway? Something akin to "scratchings" ?

I had a look in Makro earlier today. They have at least three brands/sorts of rice bran oil. Prices vary from about 60B/lit to about 120B/lit, apparently according to the level of oryzanol. The cheap one had about 2200 and the more expensive about 5000, and as I didnt know what it was I thought I would check first and buy on my next trip.

These people seem to rate the oil highly enough http://www.honestfoods.com/topgriloil.html so I will definitely try it. Currently I dont do any frying and so canola is suitable for what I do. Quite tempted by that hot air fryer though and for that the rice bran oil would seem to be ideal.

Technically dripping (usually from beef) is the fat that accumulates (drips) from a roast. It is quite similar to lard (usually from pork) which is rendered fat not from a roast. Both are very tasty for cooking with but not exactly top of the healthy eating list.

Scratchings are fried/roast bits of pig skin (aka crackling). Crispy, salty and fatty and each serving probably knocks a month or two off your life expectancy.

Bought my Deep Fat Fryer in March 2004 so over 10 years ago, I wanted a model that was easy to dismantle and wash [ I use the high pressure jet wash on it]

way back then the only option model to dismantle was Kenwood, long forgot the price.

maybe a good brand will last longer ? appears other cheaper makes last about 2 - 3 years in the hands of friends.

Thanks to the OP. This is an excellent post. I will look into a Airfryer for sure.

just tried to order one on the spur of the moment from lazada using quick checkout. website falls over when i enter activate for cod, no erorr message, nothing page just goes back to where it began.

thats one 2000 baht plus impulse customer lost.
