I love to make Fried Squash in mine! I use yellow crookneck I get out of my garden early summer and almost til fall. Slice them like you would a cucumber for a salad. Get a bowl of milk and an egg mixture, another bowl (preferably one with a lid, like Tupperware) of a mixture of flour, salt and a little bit of pepper. Dip the slices in the milk/egg mix, then in the flour mix. Put the lid on and shake it up good! Fun for the kids if you have a tight lid. Put the flour coated slices in the hot oil til golden. I like to dip in ranch dressing.

I do the same with onion rings. Oh, and fresh catfish, too! Except you may want to sub flour for cornmeal. I'm sure you can also do mushrooms and zuccini.

And for what it's worth, I eat fried stuff all the time! I know it's unhealthy, but at least I'll die with a smile on my face!
