Clearly you want to learn how to do things right and i'm sure you can
find a great number of resources (video included) online.
That "sizzling" you mentioned when cooking the mushrooms and chips was
more than likely water which of course doesn't mix with oil. In the
future, be sure whatever you're going to fry in oil is thoroughly dried
before dropping it in.

good luck! But more importantly, have fun! Kev
