They work amazing well. You can still deep fry them, but try them like this first. rb

He didn't use cheese curds though. It was regular cheddar cubes. :(

[cookingfordads]

Actually I did use curds. They were orange though and not white. I use the cubes when I'm making Cheese Balls. an upcoming episode.

I'm wondering how prestigious is the blue ribbon in a state fair? Is it a reconized award around the state or not very special?

@Mnluda You don't buy curds at a grocery store...If you can find a cheese factory, the ones to get are the ones made SAME DAY. NEVER refrigerated!

I've gotten those curds before from Cub foods. They have the best/cheapest selection of different curds.

My advice is the try different varities, but most likely you're not going to find a better flavor than white cheddar.

I disagree that your flash frying technique is healthier. Specific heat works the opposite way, the more oil you have at 400*, the faster the your coat sets and cooks, which in return decreases the oil that gets soaked into batter. I use a quart of fresh peanut oil.
