Flash frying....I'm guessing ya using the cast iron or Dutch Oven skillets?
Butter in first b'4 the skillet gets hot?
I do alot of cooking with those Dutch Ovens but have yet to master the buttering thing.
I gotta ask why half of each butter?
Olive oil vs Veg. oil I can see the differences between them two, Olive can stand higher heating b'4 it starts smoking, Veg. oil burns too fast and spoils the taste. [/reply]
sorry for missing this Blugillman - Cast iron is fine. Thats what I use up at the cabin but around the house I'll use my nonstick pans just easier day to day clean-up.
as far as the butter goes, yes. I add it before it gets hot - let it melt first. reason I use both is the oil in margarine helps keep things from getting sticky w/o sacraficing the buttery flavor and its a bit better for ya than using a 1/4 pound of straight butter.
As for the oils .. it depends on the type of Olive oil you're using.. I thought some of the lighter grades were similiar in smoke points
