Make sure your oil is hot enough before frying. I think around 350°F (175°C) is perfect. This ensures a crispy, golden crust.

Thank you! I'm glad you're excited to try the Fried Green Tomatoes recipe. For that perfect golden crunch, make sure your oil is hot enough before frying, and don't overcrowd the pan. Patting the tomatoes dry before coating them helps too. Enjoy cooking, and I hope they turn out amazing for you!
