Playing with MY deep fryer

As a apartment warming present my wonderful boyfriend bought me a deep fryer. It's so nice. Yesterday was the first time I got to use it. My boyfriend Bryan, his roommate Andy and I went back to my apartment to try it out. We bought mushrooms and zucchinis to fry, only one of which I have eaten before. During our trip to Rehoboth Bryan ordered fried zucchini at a restaurant and really liked it. So, the idea behind the gift was that I would make some for him.

I set up my line. The first bowl had flour, the second had egg and the final had Italian seasoned breadcrumbs. I cut up the zucchini into about 1/2 inch slices and started in the flour, which in time proved to be a hassle. So, I ended up using a zip top bag and putting both the flour and zucchini in that. The egg was the worst because for some reason the egg wouldn't stick to the flour. I just left it there for a long time and it seemed to work better. Bread crumbs gave them a very crunchy coat that was pretty good. We deep fried these at 375 degrees and they proved to fry really fast, probably not even 2 minutes. We served those with horse radish sauce that was super strong, but still pretty good. Nothing I'm going to try again anytime soon though.

Oh, and the boys decided to try and deep fry Milky Ways. They followed the exact same method as making the fried zucchini and dropped them in the fryer, Italian Bread crumbs and all. Ew.
