Brilio.net - Crackers are a mainstay of many people's dishes. The crispy texture and savory taste of the crackers can make you eat it. However, the process of frying crackers is known to be difficult, so not everyone succeeds in making them in one try.
The experience of frying crackers was also shared by TikTok account user @dapurucipalupi via video. However, he admitted that he was bullied by a number of netizens because his frying method was considered wrong and the results were not good.
"Resigned to being bullied by netizens because I fried rose crackers like this," he wrote in the video caption, quoted by BrilioFood from TikTok @dapurucipalupi on Saturday (27/7).
In fact, the technique for frying crackers that netizens think is wrong actually makes the results crispy and not sticky, you know.

So, in the frying technique of the owner of the TikTok account @dapurucipalupi, the crackers must first be dipped in still warm oil. The woman known as Suci explained that if the crackers were simply fried in hot oil, they wouldn't be good.

After dipping until the texture of the crackers is somewhat flexible, first remove the crackers and heat the oil until they are completely ready to be used for frying.

Once the oil is hot, then add the crackers. The crackers will immediately expand and the results will be smooth, you know, because they have been dipped in warm oil beforehand. Suci said that the texture of the crackers was also crunchy.

Suci also displays a frying technique without going through the process of dipping it in warm oil. Apparently, because the crackers were not dipped in warm oil first, the crackers took longer to expand, so the results were not as crispy as crackers that had been dipped in warm oil.

Crackers that are directly fried in hot oil also don't have a smooth surface, unlike crackers that are dipped in warm oil before frying.
Taking a peek at the comments column in @dapurucipalupi's TikTok upload which has been watched 674 thousand times, there are netizens who are inspired by this trick or share other tricks for frying crackers so that the results are crispy.
"It's better to use the sun-drying technique, it's guaranteed to bloom perfectly and not stay in front of the stove for too long," wrote TikTok @lelelemifasolasido.
"It's crispier when fried twice," added TikTok @Ayu Indah.
"Finally the answer is because every time these crackers are fried the results are ugly and messy," said TikTok @Lutfiyah.
