Broasting is actually a very special (and trademarked) method of preparing chicken, meats, and fish with a specific marinate, breading, and spices, and then pressure frying it. It's (basically) a quicker and less greasy way of frying that makes the food crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.
How come we don't hear of more people broasting? Well, it's only available for commercial use. So you can grab a broasted whole chicken from your local grocer, or a leg from a fast food restaurant, but unfortunately you can't do this method at home.

Side fact: L.A.M. Phelan, the inventor of the Broaster pressure fryer, also invented the the first automatic gasoline pump, the first automatic toilet, and the first automatic commercial refrigerator. We owe him a lot! :)
I can't wait to broast about knowing the answer to this question!
ReplyDeleteAlso- what the heck is an automatic refrigerator? Most of the fridges i've used seem to do the job without much instruction from me.
I think it refers to an automatically defrosting fridge... like one where the ice doesn't build up...
ReplyDeleteBut I don't know! I didn't learn that. :)
