Guest guest Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Yes, peanut oil. It nakes them crispy and they absorb less oil. Don't forget if you bread anything to add a little cornstarch in the dry coating.

Used about 2 tsp of Old Bay (instead of 1 TBSP, which I thought was waaaaaayyyy too salty). Much better. I do want to try them with the kelp powder, too. Also, the smaller you make these suckers (like, flattened meatball-sized) the better they are. They fry faster, crisper, and cool faster. And in peanut oil? To die for!! Audrey S.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Yes, thanks for the tips on peanut oil, Donna! I did not bread these, just mixed the breadcrumbs, Old Bay and onion powder (b/c I was too lazy to dice an onion) together, then added the egg and zucchini into the mix. For breading things, what does the cornstarch do? Audrey S. On Sun, Jul 26, 2009 at 8:08 PM, <thelilacflower wrote: > > > Yes, peanut oil.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 If you bread mushrooms, eggplant slices, etc. The coating won't absorb as much oil if you add a little cornstarch to the coating, then the peanut oil for frying. Perfect! Donna Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Audrey Snyder <AudeeBird Sun, 26 Jul 2009 20:12:37 Re: Round II: Zucchini " Crab " Cakes Yes, thanks for the tips on peanut oil, Donna!
