Question:

Could you make thread or yarn out of drier lint?

I was wondering if you could make usable yarn or thread out of drier lint, or if the strands are too short to give the resulting product any real strength or whateverIf the threads are too short, could you hypothetically use drier lint to soften or otherwise make wearable thread or yarn made from some harsh and/or itchy fiber, and if so, what would the result be like?

Answer:

I'm not sure it's the fishOlive oil, while one of the better oils for your health, is not a great oil for fryingIt has a low smoke-point, so you may not have been able to heat the pan high enough to get that really great crust you were looking forNext time try Canola OilYour second method, because it was closed aluminum foil, is a steaming methodSteamed fish does fall apartFinally, you are using breadcrumbs for your crustI would suggest dusting the fish with seasoned flour (about 1 cflour to 1 tbsseasoned salt)Then dip it in a well-beaten egg, then use your breadcrumbs on the outsideThe 3-stage breading will help your crust remain intact and will more effectively seal in the fishGood luck! Keep trying:) You'll get it.
Wow Mom.you have got the immature set harrassing you huh? What came out soggy and mushy the fish itself or the breading?.If it was the fish it doesn't sound like the fish was fresh if it was the breading.The moisture had nowhere to go but into the bread.which caused it to be soggy.I personally have never breaded fish and grilled it.If I'm grilling fish I do it with a little garlic and butter set on foil and cook it that way.I've only fried or baked breaded fish myself.
If not properly handled, the flesh of arrowtooth flounder can soften, due to a proteolytic enzyme which is emitted from a myxoporean parasite that softens the flesh when heated
You can't use dryer lint for spinning for the very reason you mention - fibers are too shortYou CAN make high quality yarn from fibers that aren't very long, say 3/4 or more, but dryer lint fibers are just too short For your second scenario, it would totally depend on what your dryer lint fibers were made ofIf the lint was primarily soft fibers, such as cotton or rayon, mixing it with cheap wool might soften the resulting thread a little, but not much, and the quality of the yarn would be questionable, because the short fibers would ultimately work themselves loose from the finished yarn during knitting and wearing, and just be a cheap messShort fibers from dryer lint would be good if used in a felting process, which involves shrinking the fibers together through high heat, steam and pressingYou can make high quality fabric by felting, especially if you know what fibers you are mixing.
