That looks delicious! So how do you get the deep fry oil smell out of your house after cooking it? (My biggest issue with deep fried stuff.)
I usually just deal with it. But there are several things that you can to do to help, like you can put a bowl of baking soda out on your counter and that helps to soak it up. I've also heard a bowl of vinegar or a bowl of water with a piece of bread submerged in it can be placed on your counter prior to starting your frying and that is supposed to help. All of this done in conjunction with your vent and fans running.
i just avoid frying.
