It took me being made fun of by a fellow Bento maiden when making mini corndogs for a bento. You have to lower the basket without the corndogs and then lower each corndog in (hold the stick, obviously, not the corndog lol) the oil, submerged up to the top of the stick + half an inch and just hold it there for about 60 seconds. That should seal the corndog's batter and you can set it in the basket. Hope that helps! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074079030485584366.post-82613037724061452202008-08-27T09:57:00.000-07:002008-08-27T09:57:00.000-07:00I can't believe some of you guys have never eaten ...I can't believe some of you guys have never eaten a corn dog.

I tried it and it was pretty good... but I had to use a lot of substitute ingredients because of my new found food allergies.<BR/><BR/>not sure what to tell you about the liquid batter sticking to the basket... I hate that problem which is why I like sticking to dry stuff in our fryer haha. on tv though what they do is (with the basket down) hold the food in the oil for a few seconds before dropping it in so it gets a little skin started I guess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074079030485584366.post-47183733500082572092008-08-26T16:13:00.000-07:002008-08-26T16:13:00.000-07:00great post, Mer, but--alas, no...I have no great c...great post, Mer, but--alas, no...I have no great corn-dog-at-home advice. :(annaliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11025595501225706886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074079030485584366.post-36700392360118783312008-08-26T07:03:00.000-07:002008-08-26T07:03:00.000-07:00Mer!

Especially with posts like this to make me giggle :)<BR/><BR/>I am ashamed (well, not really) to say that I have actually never had a corn dog. Nope. Sorry! But as for what to do with excess batter, could you not just fry it in balls and eat hush puppies (I don't know what those are made of, but I think it's also corn batter?!)? :) <BR/><BR/>And for a good recipe, Alton Brown made them once on Good Eats, and I'm sure he had some tips and tricks that might make this a success. Please try it out and let us see the results like so again!!! :)Yvo Sinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16079404679872479801noreply@blogger.com
