Much depends upon the fat you use It's the light, crunchy crust that makes fried ' food deli cious and different. And the crust you find so delightful in flavor is made by the fat you "use for frying. When it comes to the table you eat it,and enj oy it. So your fat should really be good enough to eat. If you'll taste Wesson Oil, a fine salad oil, you'll know it's good to eat. And you'll understand why foods fried in Wesson Oil keep all their full delicious flavor.
