The Perfect Fried Okra (recipe) Hi Amy and frying food

[Guest guest]

Amy-I only mainly fry eggs, potatoes and sometimes I make patties

from the files. I have an old cast iron pan I like and I do make the

pan and oil hot first but I didn't know about not putting everything

in at one time, thank you for telling me. I will be sure to ask if I

don't think I'm doing it right though. I got a hot oil blister one

time and then one other time I grabbed the iron pan handle and it

really hurt so I try to be careful now.

Good luck with it, Paul! :-) Those cast iron pans sure can get hot...
