I grew up with those old sitcoms. > I never watched those American sitcoms and had never heard of any Mertz's My use of murtz bears no relationship with any Mertz's or murtz's living or dead,( I must have heard it somewhere, definitely not from any sitcom crap,) it must have tickled my fancy those many years ago. It all came about because of the *******s. When I was starting in computers I experimented in early chat in the days of IRC and I joined a ******* chat room to see what *******s talked about, within a very short time they figured out I was not a ******* and suddenly every group including some questionable ones than I was inquisitive about that I had visited during the last hour popped up on the screen. From that point on I became F Murtz (Fred was only used If the software would not accept F as a christian name) Every computer that I have had since has a fictitious name (murgatroid etc or whatever I thought of at the moment) |

When the chips are a bit cooked it does not happen.It seems it does not tolerate moisture the same as other oils. |

Eat them... but don't try to > tell me they're actually 'healthy'. Humans aren't designed. We're evolved to be omnivores. Do you subsist on whatever you can winkle out from under a rotting log? That's what we were "designed" to eat. Cindy Hamilton |

A fat skimmer is good for making a clear stock or broth, or removing some fat at the end... not for skimming froth from oil. Your frothing problem in oil is excess moisture in cooking your chips. Pat them drier first (first cooking of raw) and also don't add too many at one time. |

I'd use my Chinese doo-hicky thingie if there's stuff that needs skimming. It's used for frying, skimming, straining, and moving stuff around. I love my thingie but use it only with my wok. Its large size and metal construction won't work with my non-stick skillets. https://5.imimg.com/data5/GM/OL/MY-3...er-500x500.jpg |
