    Cooking Tip: To see if your grease/ Oil is hot, put a pinch of meal in the oil if it starts to fry you're ready.

    I didn’t know about the cinnamon in the fryer. I’m trying this. Because right now I’m damn near bleaching the whole house to get the oil smell out the house.

  • @Meechy1985
    @Meechy1985 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    You can coat your fish with mustard before dipping in the fish fry. It helps it not break apart while frying

  • @kmichelle05
    @kmichelle05 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Best friend, a little tip. When you buy that type of fish fry buy a small bag of cornmeal and mix it with the fry mix. That fish fry is flour based so it doesn’t get crispy like it should. 😉

  • @mz.ceejae6099
    @mz.ceejae6099 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The first 3 seconds was hilarious! Plus everything about the meal was on point....on down to the cinnamon & water. 😂 I'm from Kentucky and thought the cinnamon trick, was something only Southerners did. Haha! Too funny. 👍👌😂

    I use Zatarains Fish Fry seasoning breading mix. They have different flavors also! It’s really good you only need a tiny bit of seasoning or none depending on how you eat.

  • @joyferg5791
    @joyferg5791 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I will be using the cinnamon tip next time I get fish. I usually use tea candles and scented wax but I don't always have the money for it. On the other hand I always have cinnamon. 🤗Thanks for the tip Luv.

And she about jumped up and said Now see that's what I'm talking about he washed his hands... now I could eat at his house and it's a clean kitchen too. You don't understand my mom will not eat at anyone's house unless she knows that you wash your hands on the regular. And she said and "He's man too?!?! Yesssss he brings back faith in humanity lol... I'm like ok mom being a little melodramatic right now lol. But anyways you made her day. I'll be watching because I want some tips for cooking. I love it so far.

    If you run out of cinnamon, when cooking fish just soak the fish in lemon juice. No fish smell at all.
