The shoemaking profession makes a number of appearances in popular culture, such as in stories about shoemaker's elves, and the proverb The shoemaker's children go barefoot.. The patron saint of shoemakers is Saint Crispin.hefs and cooks sometimes use the term shoemaker as an insult to others who have prepared sub-standard food, possibly by overcooking, implying that the chef in question has made his or her food as tough as shoe leather or hard leather shoe soles, and thus may be in the wrong profession.
Re: deep fried bacon. if your oil isn't smoking/shimmering, it's not hot enough. I will agree that oil temp is CRITICAL to good deep frying, but if your oil is smoking it's burning and is TOO hot. 375 is plenty hot for most things like fries, wings, fish, etc.
Frying bacon is one of those kitchen skills it can take some time to master. It seems like a simple operation, but it can be fraught with peril. Learn how to fry bacon to enjoy this popular meat and use it in everything from main dishes to salads to appetizers or just as a snack. To fry bacon to crisp perfection, start with a cold skillet. Carefully separate the bacon pieces from each other and place them side by side in the cold skillet. Don't stretch the bacon as you remove it from the package.
