I know it’s plain but I was never able to cook schnitzel right as a kid and I’m just proud of it and my homemade fries, even if they aren’t golden brown 👉👈

Are you shallow frying the schnitzel in a frying pan? Lower the heat to get a more even colour instead of burning the schnitzel where it touches the pan, and don't be shy with the amount of oil you use :)

I am! I’ll keep this in mind for the next time, since it was fun to use the oil for it this time!

Good egg, keep up and you'll master the golden schnitzel in no time!

Fries look okay but pretty poor to be honest. I’m going to give you some weird temperatures because you are making schnitzel so I’m assuming you use Celsius, I’ll convert for you. First off as soon a you cut your potatoes throw them in water and gently agitate them for a minutes at least, next step dry them and then fry them at 162.7 degrees for 2 minutes. Allow to cool for a couple minutes and then throw them into a freezer. After at least an hour fry at 162.7 until golden brown.

I see! Thank you very much, I’ll save your directions and keep an eye on the temperature next time!

Make sure the fries are really dry. Water and hot oil do not mix well.

Those fries look raw

Use more oil, let them half drown in hot oil and turn them more often, slightly less heat.

Those fries are too undercoocked.

I'am almost certain you air fried those fries possibly the schnitzels too.

You are getting downvoted but you put effort and thought into the meal, and that’s what matters. Can’t always judge a book by its cover. Keep it up!

Fries are raw

The schnitzel is overcooked. Less temperature for your pan and turn it more often.

The fries are undercooked. Slightly more temperature for the oil. Try double frying.

Good job for a first time!

for frying the schnitzel you can pour more oil and let it get warm and then put your shnitzel and what I do is I try to move it around in a circular motion to form some ridges and check if it’s golden brown I’ll fry the other side and I try to do all of that in medium heat.

your fries can be cooked a bit more and I suggest after you take them out of the oil season them with anything that you like. (my favorite seasoning mixture is grounded black pepper+salt+garlic powder+parmigiano cheese)

nevertheless I am proud of your cooking too; keep it up 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Is this one supposed to be a joke? Or are you just British?

Can’t always…but sometimes you can.

Though I agree it’s meaningful they put effort into their meal

True. Sometimes food that looks normal tastes very good.

Seems like you are skimping on the oil, which makes the schnitzel burnt in some parts and undercooked in others.

Elaborate what about it makes you proud.

Because, how can i put it?: what i'm seeing here is the antithesis of a cooks pride.

Use oil AND butter! And there are some numbers on the stove between 0 and 9… So it is not a steak, just show it some love on medium-high temperature.

In Germany we call this a Schnitzel Verbrechen..

Das ist ein Schnitzel Verbrechen!

First of all, get a nice cut of beef or pork instead of chicken. Then smash the shit out of that thing. Like, wrap it in plastic and get the hammer. The Austrians say you gotta be able to read through it but that ain't true, slightly thicker is probably optimal. The crust is the only thing you seem to have managed so I won't tell you how to do that. However, fry with a lot of oil and slosh the oil around the pan so it will also cover the top of your schnitzel. That way you'll get those nice bubbles in your crust. I'm not sure if it actually does something for the taste, but this is the way it's supposed to be done and how you can identify if you've got a properly cooked schnitzel at a restaurant or just a deep fried one.

I don't know what you did to those fries, but damn, they look like they could need some oil. I've heard that duck or geese fat is best for making french fries, but honestly, if you're doing them at home some regular cooking oil is just fine. If you're making them in the oven or air fryer, dump em in a bowl beforehand, add oil and seasoning and shake until all the fries are well covered.

& more oil. schnitzel and fries need to float

Whats up with these bad looking food posts lately.

Good on you for giving it a go, keep going!

This is the biggest crime I ever came across
