What's wrong with that? Only thing better is beef dripping.

just text my nan and grandad if they were taught it, they were. Then it turned on me asking me how to do it and I don't have a clue.
FFS thanks a lot.

Mind you it depends how big your dish cloth is, too small and all you get is a deep fried dish cloth... for safety's sake I'd soak the tea towel wring it out some, then on it goes

Inspired by the Tefal Actify thread, remember everyone had these years ago?

Basically a primed, deadly, incendiary bomb on every single hob in the country. Fat changed about twice a year, and every school child taught how to put the inevitable "chip pan fire" out with a damp dish cloth.

Amazing really.

Too right, especially late at night when you're the worse for wear
It's a wonder how we all survived, what with lead water pipes, everybody in the house smoking, no carpet on the floor only lino, and it being that cold that you had to wipe the ice off the inside of the windows to see out.

Mind you the chips were ace.

Yeah! Same here, after swimming. Called them "Batter bits"

Oh look at Mr Lah De Dah, changing the fat twice a year.

Used to love my mum's home-made chips in the deep fat fryer. Always best when the fat had been used several times, getting the burny bits all over the chips. We'd complain when we got 'new fat chips'!

My mum used to sieve out all the crap from the lard before it fully cooled through one of her old tights.

hahaha, you'd decide that a great time to use this in house bomb, was about midnight on a Friday night, when you'd swilled a good gallon of ale down your neck.

Health and safety 80's style.
