Croquette experiments

crazyfurriesToday, I have literally nothing to do but cook. Venison stew, chicken breasts to freeze, and a host of other nibblets. It cold as suck out and slaving over a hot stove or oven sounds like a fabulous way to play. So, aside from the usual cooking chores I'm using today to do my croquette experiments.
Sometime ago I remember Shojo Beat having the recipe in their books. Google..hasn't been my friend in this. Fickleficklething. Lunch-in-a-box had some nifty help on this plan. So. I've been experimenting.
I plan to do 3 experiments, rice crispies as crumbs, eggless wet crumbing method, and eggless wet crumbing with crispies.
Experiment one: Eggless Wet roll with crispies: Results... Burnt on bottom soggy on top.
Fail. Just so much fail for that.
Experiment two: eggless wet roll regular crumbs: Oddly tasty, none of the crisp crunchy shell that you get with an egg-washed croquette, but tasty none the less. I'm doing the eggless breading method since mom has a friend who is allergic to avian eggs* and wanted to try my cooking. Hence, eggless experiment.
Experiment three: Regular eggwash with crispies: results pending: to be done when I have some damn veggie oil** to lube the pan with. filling has been put on freeze.
* She is not allergic to fish egg or reptile eggs. Seeing as my access to either is limited...
** All the damn veggie and Canola oil in the house had gone bad. Like "dude don't sniff this" bad. You don't cook with oil that stanks.
