      Usually that’s done by battering and frying the entire roll before cutting it.

      Doing it with individual pieces is possible, of course, but it massively increases the chance of overcooking the center, which usually is not desired.

      Something I consider rather agitating is the concept of food elitism. " No you can’t put ketchup on that you uncultured fuck!" But like it’s my food piss off mate…

        I agree 90% of the time. My exception to this is if you’re putting hunts ketchup on anything. Using hunts is, actually, a crime against humanity.

    That particular Teflon cooking pan… I hit mixed feelings on it. I’m using it with wooden utensils only because I didn’t want to eat Teflon anymore but I did want the non stick.

    Anyway, that finish seems to protect the Teflon, but its like a file or sandpaper for any utensil. So I’m slowly eating my wooden spoon.

      Not like it’s good to eat it or anything, but just to help with the worries, teflon is absolutely safe to ingest, it’s a very stable molecule that don’t interact with absolutely anything, it goes in and out basically intact. Of course it doesn’t mean you can EAT it, but ocasional accidental ingestion due “scraping the bottom” are pretty safe.

      When people say it’s Toxic, they knowing or unknowingly are talking about the chemicals used to make it, mostly PFOA — perfluorooctanoic acid. These are nasty, and are present GLOBALLY, like everywhere, from the sea to the middle of deserts and even on the poles, that also includes our blood.

        Every time someone’s foaming at the mouth at how safe it is to eat Teflon, I can’t help but to be reminder of the confidence of 1950’s ad executives:

          There’s a nice video about it from Veritasium.

          Strictly speaking of the chemical side of things, teflon at it’s normal temperature, is very inert and won’t interact with anything inside your body, that’s doesn’t mean you can eat 1 kilogram of it and be fine.

          The point was, if you accidentally scrap the bottom of a pan and ingest a tiny bit of the coating with the food, that won’t make any big harm as most alarmists suggest.

            I’ve heard the argument several times, yeah.

            I still wouldn’t eat teflon and have slowly changed to mostly stainless steel, which is superior in cooking if you know how to use it. Gonna get myself some cast iron as well but I’d like a larger kitchen to properly start kitting out. What I want in the end is silver cookware.

            The point is, your “facts” are probably more correct than science in the 50’s, but the fact is those “facts” are still essentially company propaganda to make people not panic over having eaten off of neurotoxins for 50 years.

            Or like, are you so naive you don’t understand companies like DuPont lying through their teeth?

              My dude, I’m just saying something based on my biochemistry degree, as I stated it’s harmless if you INGEST A TINY AMMOUNT ON ACCIDENT, you obviously shouldn’t eat it as part of your diet, and if possible use a cast iron or stainless steel pan, even though is harder to clean.

              I’m not talking about politics our corporations, or as you label it my “facts”, I’m talking about science and chemistry.
