 |
|
-So how do you cook frozen food like mini-donkkaasu, or shrimp patties, or french fries without them spattering all over the place in your kitchen. My mother had a crock-pot deep frier, and an oven. I've got neither, and when I just put stuff in a pan the ice stuck to my food goes everywhere covering my tiny kitchen in a mini oil slick of soybean greater than the samsung spill. Really its that bad, I stick to my kitchen floor.
-And I know defrosting the food is not the answer, as everyone says frozen seafood is cooked frozen.

| Try putting a lid over the food when you're cooking it- it's better to cook frozen food that way anyway because it'll cook/ heat more evenly, and it should also keep the oil from spraying everywhere. |

Obviously you get an oil screen. I use mine all the time. It works exactly as it's designed to work. Like the one on the right:

Agreed.
What you do is heat the oil until it's really hot, put in your food, cover it with a lid and turn it down to low - otherwise it'll burn.
You could always use a deep saucepan and pour in 2 inches of oil for shallow frying. |

You should use oil to cook frozen fries and donkas. I guess you should use an oil screen like someone suggested if you don't like the splatter. Thing is, you need to tend to it. Removing the screen or a pan to do so is necessary. Deep frying it is obviously the best solution. In the hottest oil possible.
I sometimes fry with butter. Might spatter less and it lessens the sticking considerably. And it tastes better. |

I've had an oven since the day I arrived in Korea, 7.5 years ago.
You can always go buy yourself a toaster oven... quite cheap. |

Anything larger than cheese sticks and you are screwed. You can buy a small oven for 300,000W. That takes care of most things...you wouldn't bake a turkey in it, of course.
As far as frying frozen foods..couldn't you mike them to thaw them out first? That would reduce the ice/water to oil reaction. And of course, using some kind of cover, too. |
