I don't use a timer, just cook til GBD (Golden Brown and Delicious).
I prefer Peanut oil, but have switched to Canola oil now for healthier cooking (still fried, but every little bit helps). I also have used shortening (both regular and pure vegetable) and vegetable oil too.
What oil do you guys like to use?
As a matter of fact, my girlfriend (who beats me) is mixing some Hush Puppy batter right now and I am getting ready to fry yesterdays catch.
I fry mine in Butter flavored Crisco. 355 degree's about 3 min on each side. Cast Iron skillet if I'm only cooking for 2-3 people. Electric skillet for more.
I have a propane gas fired deep fryer. I dip them in at 360 degrees, and levee them in till they float up, once they float, out they come. Crisco Oil-Drakes Batter (dry) empty roasting pan-no paper towels (makes them soggy) Had some last night....
