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.
How to Deep Fry Fish. When you deep fry fish, the fish is totally submerged in hot fat or oil. The pan used for deep frying should be deep enough to hold 2 to 3 inches of hot fat. A 4 to 6 inch deep pan is good because it helps to control spattering. If possible a conventional deep fryer works best. When choosing a fish for deep frying remember a lean type deep fries better than an oily one.
