FAQ

How do you make frozen fries not soggy?

Many people find that French fries become soft after frying

There are reasons for this

1. You may not have raised the oil temperature before frying

You only need to raise the oil temperature to the appropriate temperature of 170-180°C

2. Too many French fries are placed

Is your pan able to hold too many French fries?

You have to fry them in batches

3. Re-fry

No matter what food you fry, there will be heat inside when the time is reached for the first time.

Then after frying for a while, the internal heat will cause water vapor, causing the food to soften. At this time, XMSD tips will teach you a little secret.

Raise the oil temperature again, then put in the French fries and fry them again for 30 seconds. Lock the moisture inside the food, so that the French fries will not soften so quickly.

 

Can I know how French fries are produced?

Of course XMSD TIPS has prepared a production video for you:

Is it better to fry or bake frozen fries?

 

I cooked frozen fries in the oven, air fryer, grill, and stovetop to find the best cooking method. The air fryer fries were the easiest to make, but the oven fries were the crispiest. Surprisingly, the deep fried fries won out, being the juiciest of them all.
