Why do people wrap the potatoes in foil. Mine get scrubbed, forked, and put straight on the rack, which yields very crispy skins.

Excellent. Good. So are all deep-fried things made sort of crispy on the outside? And how does this process affect Mars bars? Also, how deep does the oil need to be? Must the thing being deep-fried be immersed in the oil, or can it float at the top?

No. We weren't able to get ahold of Paul to find out about visiting hours and suchlike. Hopefully Paul will return our voicemail message sometime today, and then we can go visit tonight.

Add "lightly brushed with canola oil and kosher salt" before "put straight on the rack," and you have my method. Which, IIRC, I got from Alton Brown, my Secret Boyfriend (Culinary Division).

Keeps the heat and moisture in. It's good to heat tortillas in foil for the same reason.

Damn, Jilli beat me to it. Z used it as the opening song for the (added) Prelude in Measure For Measure - 5 couples in club gear grinding away to Garbage. Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

1. More or less
2. The Snickers bars get kind of oogy
3. Depends on the size of the item being fried
4. It can float - don't Krispy Kremes float?

It'll be about three weeks before mine's done.
Honey, put down the magnifying glass and go turn on the oven. Really.
