We all chipped in and bought a really nice fish cooker a few years back. I know it's in good hands, but it seems a waste not to use it. I'm good with whatever meat is chosen, but anybody can cook fish and everybody here usually has plenty to donate. Not everybody can cook the other stuff. My cooking skills are extremely challenged. [emoji4]
Then use it, that cooker really isn't big enuff to do the cooking for 70 or 80 folks. I pitched in on it as well, maybe we should draw it as one of the door prizes.
Hey Bill, why don't you volunteer to cook the fish? I'll help you eat it.
I for one don't want my part going to a door prize. We bought it for camps and that's where it needs to stay. We have used it and will use it again.Quote:

Thank you for understanding. Lets all support and try to help Calvin as it was asked for someone to step up and organize the cookout or saturday meal for this coming Fall Camp. Calvin was the only one that volunteered to do this for us so lets back him up. I know from past experiance it is not a easy job and I thank Calving for volunteering to do this........remember, he is doing this for us. Thank you.
My thoughts....I am sure will be useing this fish cooker for a long time to come. Nothing wrong that I can see with having something different to eat everyonce in awhile. Like I said once before.....as long as I get some of Ms. Tammys upside down German chocolate cake abd some of Knightshadows Dutch oven peach cobbler I am good :biggrin
As our group grows, it will be harder to do fish..It is labor intensive, and our one cooker can't turn out fish fast enough..also there will be other things like fries and hushpuppys to fix.. I dont care whether we keep the cooker or not..but I can see it being used less and less.. It will not last forever..
Fish can still be done in the future....This is why a long time ago we all voted not to have a tournament on cook out day....so people that could help cook would not be fishing and we could start cooking earlier. As far as cooker not big enough....lots of folks have cookers they could bring if we needed them. The big thing is the expense of all the oil. When we had our Cajun Fryer and Petes Cajun Fryer that was 16 gallons of oil. I cook fish for my Church and do the whole thing fries, hush puppies and fish on two smaller cookers....We put the cooked fish in ice chests without ice and layer them with lots of paper towels between the layers....they stay warm this way until we get ready to serve and put them into serving pans.....same with fries and hushpuppies....just need a little more cooking time for large group. Our problem at the camps is we start cooking too late and also people bringing fish that are not thawed out yet.Quote:

I know we have the one cooker as c.c, but several of us have Cajun fryers that we could bring and make the whole process go a lot faster! But the problem is, most of us use peanut oil, and someone may have an allergy!

Rice Oil has an extremely high scorching point, low allergenic, and is one of the FEW maybe ONLY oils that does not transfer taste to your food.
Rice oil? Don't know I have ever heard of that..Where can you get it? How expensive compared to others?
Here ya go Don....its expensive https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XHYE0JI?psc=1

I strain the cornmeal out of my oil each month. Takes 5 minutes. I store my oil back in the containers it came in after it has cooled. Thats no big deal either. It can confidently say i cook fish at a MINIMUM of once every 2 weeks. And when I cook I cook anywhere from 4-50 people. Point im trying to make is....my oil is heavily used and still has lasted that long. Cooked roughly 60 meals, most of them cooking over 25 pounds of fish at a time. All off of a lil over $100 worth oil. I have a lil over 13 gallons. U figure it up like and its WAY cheaper than any other kind of oil.
Man I looked at that amazon price....thats over DOUBLE what I pay for it. I find mine local. Here in stuttgart arkansas lumber one sells it and also stedmans hardware. And the blue seal petroleums in both stuttgart AND dewitt arkansas both sell this oil. May can buy some from riceland foods directly ( I think thats where it is made) in stuttgart arkansas.
Cotton seed oil, here.:ThumbsUp
Awesome
I read an article the other day saying that once the peanuts were processed into oil, the component that people were allergic to was taken out in that process. I don't if that is true or not, so I'm asking, is it? Never know what to believe in the media these days.
BTW, I'm using rice bran oil now. I like the peanut oil taste better, but a customer of mine gave me 6 gallons of the rice oil so I tried it. It's good but to me not as good.
Not trueQuote:

I don't know but when you have a child that is so allergic it is a guarantee to kill them, you just cook with something else. Piece of mind kind of dealQuote:

I agree, just not worth the chance. Ree had a friend that was deathly alergic, couldn't open a jar of peanut butter with him in the houseQuote:
