Deep-Fried Snacks - Frequently Asked Questions?

The internet is full of recipes and no one really talks about product handling, storage or preparations. But no more! We have compiled a list of some frequently asked questions by our viewers who are quite new to the kitchen and want to make sure they keep up to the safety standards.

For how long can I store the deep-fried Oreos?

The best time to eat your deep-fried snacks is within 24 hours. However, you can save them for later in a refrigerator for a week or so. The longer you will place them, the more they will absorb moisture. Just make sure you reheat them in an oven before eating.

Which minimal ingredients can I use for making fried Oreos?

You can go simple by picking deep-fried Oreos mix. For that, you’ll just need water and the mix to prepare the batter. No ruckus of stocking up your kitchen with eggs, all-purpose flour, whole milk and so on. While preparing the batter using Oreos mix, make sure there are no lumps left and consistency should be thick enough to stay.

Which is the best oil for deep-frying snacks?

You cannot control the calories but can make sure to use the right product. Vegetable oil is the most popular and accessible option and in fact, has some health benefits as well. Other good options to try are sunflower oil, canola oil and grapeseed oil. We do not recommend using oil for deep-frying as it might leave some flavor and fragrance which obviously you wouldn’t like at that time.

What things I shall avoid while frying Oreos?

While preheating the oil, avoid the temperature below 300 degrees as it will make your snacks oily and greasy without any crisp. The perfect temperature is between 350-375 degrees and temperature above 375 degrees can eventually burn the cookies. Also, avoid making the batter too thin. It shouldn’t slip off right away from the cookie.

Which flavour Oreos should I use for deep-frying?

Apparently, there are several flavours of Oreo cookies available in the marketplace but nothing would make this stack better than a regular one. However, you are free to experiment the same recipe using any other flavour like chocolate, peanut butter, red velvet, gingerbread, mint, fudge-covered, carrot cake oreos and so more.

How exactly does fried Oreos taste like?

It solely depends upon your method of frying. Typically, they are the golden-brown softballs filled with chocolate and cream. The batter adds a slight crisp to the outer layer, however, the inside is loaded with the goodness of melted chocolate. A perfect snack for people having a sweet tooth and are big fans of state-fair Oreos.

Why do people use pancakes or other mixtures rather than natural ingredients?

Probably to avoid the mess. The beginners usually get confused with the amount of flour, vanilla, cocoa powder and milk to put in and end up making a batter just similar to the funnel cakes. The mixture makes the work easy and add-on a wonderful light crisp to the snack. Give a try to deep fried Oreos mix by Crumbs Carnival Treats which is specially designed for this snack.
