Has anyone ever experimented with a salad spinner to get rid of excess oil from deep-fried foods? I’m curious if the effort actually makes a difference in calories. I’ve thought about this for a while, but I’m wondering why it doesn’t seem to be a common practice. What’s the verdict?

I haven’t tried using a salad spinner for that purpose, but it’s an interesting idea! The concept of spinning out excess oil might work to some extent, but there are a few factors to consider.
First, the oil might not be fully removed since it seeps into the food, especially with items like fried potatoes or battered foods. Also, the salad spinner could get messy with hot oil. You’d need to handle it carefully to avoid any splashes or burns.
As for whether the effort is worth the calories, it might depend on how much oil actually comes off and the kind of food you’re frying. Sometimes it might make a small difference, but the trade-off in terms of effort and cleanup might not justify it for everyone.
Maybe it’s worth trying on a small batch to see if it actually makes a noticeable difference. Just be cautious with the heat and oil!
