Nolongeramember Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Every time I fry squid pieces it spits and crackles like crazy and I end up getting burnt from the oil. I try turn the heat down and it helps but still no good. Put a lid over the top, but still need to remove it to turn them over and get burnt again. Any tips for this?

Krispy ! Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Every time I fry squid pieces it spits and crackles like crazy and I end up getting burnt from the oil.

The trick is you only need to cook it for about 10 seconds at max heat, the flesh will be soft and delicious and there is not much time for the oil to spit.

user1829 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) The trick is you only need to cook it for about 10 seconds at max heat, the flesh will be soft and delicious and there is not much time for the oil to spit. could also be because they are wet? the oil boils any moisture which is what could be causing the spitting oil... dry on paper towel before placing them in... OP - are you deep frying or shallow frying??? Edited April 19, 2012 by user1829 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aeb870 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) Like user1829 said, It's definitely because they are wet. You will notice that any splash of water next to hot oil will make it splatter. Edited April 19, 2012 by aeb870 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammo2809 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hi Roylo, I cut my squid open so it becomes one open piece then slice (not right through & after cleaning) a thin chris cross like pattern over it. The cuts about 1/2 cm apart. Then I cut it up into small pieces about 5cm x 3cm (roughly)& mix lemon pepper seasoning through it & then cook it on a hot bbq plate with just enough oil to prevent it sticking.
