Deep fryer owner here. Nothing I've fried has been made worse by the deep fryer - and most things are substantially better. I do not regret the purchase.
Fair warning: without a substantial binding component (ie. fats), that fried soup is going to be a bitch to eat before it melts, and moreso as it does. Choose wisely.
With wings that is called “trashed”. Fry them half way, then sauce them, then finish frying them
Its literally the best way to have wings, but a pain in the ass to find a restaurant that will do it. Let alone one that offers trashed wings as a menu item
The best my local wing place can do is to deep fry the wings, refrigerate the ones that don't get sold and eaten, and deep fry them again the next day. Not literally the best way to have wings.
The pressure in your pressure cooker is only 15 psi which raises the boiling point of water to about 120°C, well bellow the temperature of a deep fryer at 175°C.
The temperature of undersea vents can easily reach temperatures of over 300°C, which I would argue is more like frying.
I've always said something similar, but not about deep frying.
I've always said it's sticking weird things up your butt.
You never see a bear out in the woods find a live mouse, and decide to stick it up it's own ass. You just don't see it. Exactly 0 bears have stuck a living mouse up their own butt.
Not to diminish Scotlands' clear achievments in this area, but I l'm pretty sure China was deep frying foods (and making iron...) several milennia before deep fried pizza and mars bars ever graced Scotlands munchy boxes.

The whole egg incident was a prime example of very bad food to deep fry though I think

Indeed, and I thought the deep fried hand was the worst idea

Maybe one day he will try to to freeze and batter the butter before deep frying.

Try deep fried soup
Thteven@lemmy.world · 24 pts · 182d
You can do that. Put it in the fridge and let it congeal, then make little balls and roll them in bread crumbs before frying. Basically Bitterballen

Just seal it in dough (as in soup dumplings) then deep fry them.
I've had deep fried butter.

Have you ever fried something, then battered it and fried it again, like adding another layer to your grilled cheese?

Really? Those blind shrimp aren’t deep frying their food on the undersea volcanos? Are we sure?
Kolanaki@pawb.social · 22 pts · 183d
Yeah, because it's in water, not oil, it ain't frying. It's boiling.
Brgor@lemmy.zip · 7 pts · 183d
The pressure at that depth allows the temperature to get way higher than 100°C, so I bet it probably is closer to frying than boiling.
Johandea@feddit.nu · 11 pts · 182d
Pressure cooking is still boiling though

Deep frying is a way of life in the American South.

I'd argue barbeque. Cultures the world over have some form of cooking things slow, frequently underground to break down tougher foods.
Deep frying is a result of excess while some form of barbeque would have been a very logical step for anyone cooking on coals.

Relatedly, there was a discussion here on Native Americans using seed oils for cooking that indicated that they did so rarely, if at all.
But native Americans did harvest lard to make protein bars, so possibly animal fat frying

Certainly not. My point was solely that their only method of deep frying would have involved lard, and I can’t say either way whether they did so
