I only remember when I went to this apartment block on St. Nicholas in NYC, Carlos' mother EITHER soaked
them prior to the first fry, or after the smash. Not very helpful, But I know she used salt and pepper and
warm water. I doubt it was after the smash, that would produce a hail of splatter, so I am thinking pre
first fry. MAYBE post first fry, pre smash.
Ehhh, I edited the roach story out. Suffice it to say the
building as infested.
