I can't imagine it holding together.

it would seem the trick is to use frozen cauliflower to deep fry. I found a recipe https://heartofacountryhome.wordpress.com/2009/03/25/deep-fried-cauliflower-florets-low-carb/

Yes the next experiment will be a low carb batter.

After reading about acrylamide, I'm glad deep fried food is no longer on my menu

Strange but I've not really noticed that deep fried food has more or less gone from my life.

Sounds intriguing. Roasted cauliflower with garlic and lemon is amazing.

A friend just cooked cauliflower for me a bit like that - put the entire thing face down in boiling water for a few minutes, drained it thoroughly, then rubbed butter, lemon and garlic into it a baked it. It remained intact and was gorgeous! Had it with roasted peppers and halloumi.

I've seen around here people discussing Omegas 3 and 6.

I have recently ordered a deep fat fryer. Now I'm considering which oil to fill it with. Normally I use Olive oil, I have seen people suggest that cooking with it loses it's benefits. So I have some ground nut oil which I use to fry, but that is quite expensive.

So just wondering if anyone in the Know can direct me to the best oil to use.

i don't use oil i use dripping lard or butter

cooking oils here in the usa are hydrogenated are made with gmo corn cotton seed or soy so i use dripping lard or butter for cooking

hi lenny olive oil is not good for high temp frying it breaks down into nasty's' it has a low smoke temperature ,keep it for you salads you could try peanut oil for deep frying but why not use dripping may be you can get it from your butcher
