OK, smart people: French Fries.

[trof]

So, we're gonna get some takeout burgers.
Keep them warm until we're ready to eat.
Does ANYBODY know ANY WAY to keep Fries warm/hot and tasty?
Not either mushy or hard as nails?
Nothing I've ever tried works.

[Sannum]

1. Tell me if you find out....

:D

[NewHampshireDem]

2. I've always said my billion-dollar-making invention would be ...

the french fry box that actually keeps them hot. Still workin' on it :sigh:

[trof]

19. Wealth beyond your wildest dreams.

Fer shur.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

3. I do

You eat them as soon as they come out of the fryolator.

Other than that, you're screwed.

4. so you're gonna get the new Hardee Artery monster thickburger

:)

11. BACKYARD BURGERS, BAYBEE!

Best damned store boughtened burger I've ever had.

22. Had one in Greenville SC once. Pretty good.

5. "Warm" setting in the oven.

Eventually, they will dry out though.

[trof]

12. naaaa

Works for about 5 minutes.
I'm talkin' at least an hour.

[sans qualia]

6. Maybe you could put them in a pot of hot grease?

[trof]

13. yum

7. Those are freedom fries, pal. Get it straight.

And the only way to keep freedom fries hot and tasty is to use plenty of explosives, preferably where there are rich deposits of civilians.

8. Heat up some oil to 375

and re-fry them for 2 minutes. That might be too much work, but it's really the only thing that works.

That's how I cook fries.. Fry em once at 350 until they're floppy, remove and cool, then re-fry at 375 until crispy.

9. Refried fries. What a concept! Makes beans seem so innocuous

:-)

[trof]

14. A cook in a Paris bistro taught me that.

I'll be damned.
Real FFs are twice cooked.
How'd you know that?

[tridim]

18. I had a college friend from Belgium suggest it.

I guess they know their fries.

[trof]

20. Did the Belgians actually invent them?

I think I read somewhere that they did and the sneaky Frogs stole it.
;-)

15. as someone who has done time in the fast food industry

I must say that re-frying the fries has proven to be an effective technique.

[trof]

16. Kind of a PITB*.

*Pain In The Butt
I guess if I was gonna go to the trouble of firing up the fryer I could just DIM*.
*Do It Myself
;-)

[nookiemonster]

10. Me thinks that this re-frying thing might have some merit. n/t

[FuzzySlippers]

17. The only thing I can think of is to wrap them in foil.

Maybe pop the foil packet into the oven (the regular oven, not the microwave) for a few minutes before you eat them.

[FellowAmerican]

21. Yep!

and on low heat - 325 degrees for 5-10 minutes.
