Fried Spoon

[Kepis]

I was supposed to be out working today, but the torrential rain and strong winds has put paid to that, so having done a Post Office run in, im figuring what can i do?.

So im having a look through some things and i see this spoon that i carved ages ago.

Then i thought, lets fry it - well, as you do

I got the idea a while back when i was up the woods with Hugo & Rockmonkey and it was my turn to cook the bacon butties up, i left my spoon in the pan for a bit too long and it started to cook, so i grabbed a small frying pan, put a little bit oil in the bottom and fried this spoon up, the result was this

I quite like the effect it has given, amazing what comes to mind when you are at a loose end on a wet & windy day

Lightweight! A real man would be out there braving the elements and laughing in the face of the wind to bring it on.

Says Biker sat indoors watching the rain lash against the window and thinking the dog really doesn't need his walk today does he?

"frying spoons" whatever next???! I suppose now you have a dedicated spoon just for frying stuff now.

I've been doing that for years, but I put it down to my dodgy cooking. Any issues with it going rancid?

Btw, if you want to swap, you can sit in my office and I'll go out and play in the rain. Got to better than what I'm going through today.

great tip that. what about putting it in a chip pan to bubble away would be the same effect i suppose. looks braw

Deep fried spoons? Only in Scotland.

(hangs head in shame and leaves)

Deep fried spoon's hey, Hope this was not your idea of something different for lunch tomorrow mate!
Nice job though!

 

[Kepis]

Well it beats your pancakes hands down

only kidding that pancake you made was very tasty

 

[bilmo-p5]

I would imagine it's still a bit chewy.

 

[Rockmonkey]

You mean the crispy fried pancake!
Next time will be better, i promise!

Least now ya don't need to oil it right? LOL seriously though that looks great

I suppose this is just a variation on the boiling it in oil to seal it. I find heating oil in a jug in the microwave, then standing the spoon in the hot oil until the oil cools and bubbles stop coming from the wood is an effective method if I really want to seal a spoon, rather than just coat it. Never had one crack this way either.

On the other hand I had a jug full of walnut oil crack whilst in the microwave once when I put it on for too long

Anyway, great work as always, and an interesting effect.

Now we need a low fat version for dieters...
