Cleaning around the burners on a gas range is one of the banes of my existence (even after regular sauteing or browning).
And I love sauteing food. Most of my good dishes I saute or brown food in the skillet.
Honestly, once my finance loosen up (moving sucks), I've given a lot of thought into getting one of those countertop burners myself.

Bunch of damn metro sexuals on this board. A real man has a deep fryer in his shop or on his deck to do the frying for family and friends. I bet yall wear polyester drawers too. SMDH

Going back to the Great Depression when we canned we used bacon grease as the "lid" and it went straight from the kitchen to the root cellar (where you went when tornados hit). When you took out say the "canned" green beans you dumped the "lid" and beans in a cast iron skillet and cooked it up and straight to the dinner table.
About 20 years ago I used to go to some old Scottish cookouts and the guy must have been 90 to 100 back then but he made Haggis like I remember as a child. Never had American or Modern Haggis that tasted like it. It had a residue that stuck to your lips and tasted a bit like women lipstick (that thick waxy taste) from before the 1960's or 1970's.
Yes
Crisco you buy in the store now looks like corn oil or canola oil and pours out of the bottle.
Crisco you bought before the 70's and 80's was white, creamy, and you needed a spoon to get it out of the container,

Oh yeah, IIRC, Crisco is essentially vegetable oil (as opposed to animal fat).
I see what you're saying — you mean the difference in the oil/liquid vs. shortening/solid?
I think they reformulated it when the "fats are bad for you" craze started, but I seem to remember them selling the shortening in stick form for a while.

We always had a joke about my grandmother running to the cellar when bad weather was coming, while my grandfather liked to move outside instead and investigate.
Talking about the depression, she used to save bread wrappers and use them to cover pies (even decades later). Any food scraps went to the dogs or to the compost. It's amazing what living through something like that will do to your mindset about literally anything going to waste.

Yes
I think the white Crisco was animal fat
I think the yellow liquid Crisco is vegetable oil (or some chemical mix)

Preach!
Until I see the tornado I am sitting in the rocking chair watching the storm. I love the smell of the air in a spring storm.

Same here
I grew up learning to waste nothing which is why I am so out of date now.

Son I've had sex with more women than you've worked up the nerve to say hello to. Sit down in the corner and mind your manners, the adults are speaking.

Crisco today is vegetable oil. Horrible for humans. See the WalMart scooter riders. Crisco was lard which was far healthier for humans.
As for catfish, go with Chef Puck and do not skin them before cooking. The skin is the tastiest part of the animal.

Baked catfish always has an earthy taste to it

Blackened catfish in a cast iron skillet with a creamy Cajun Lafitte sauce
Or you can do my homemade fried catfish batter. Even amount of flour and cornmeal, half container of Tony’s or other Cajun seasoning, little bit of roasted garlic. Dip fillets in a mixture of buttermilk and egg then coat with batter. Fry in peanut oil

You actually dispose of the oil? I don’t know how many years old my oil is. I just add new oil as needed

Dude, my mom saved bread wrappers and would make us wear them over our shoes when we played in the snow in the winter. My mother's side of the family was about a generation behind. I remember going to my great grandparents house as a kid and them having an outhouse that was still in use. No indoor bathroom.

Yeah, our storm shelter doubled as potato storage, too.

I never saw one in use (thankfully), but I've heard family stories about dried corncobs and the pages of the Sears Roebuck catalog.
