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.

Well, other than your health.

Although you aren't really deep frying it directly. Just by proxy.

Source: own one and do not regret

Excuse me, but that's pan frying. Your meme is invalid.

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 33 points 3 days ago

You're absolutely right. deep (fried) apologies.

Beginner level tempura sushi (forgot the batter)

The YouTuber "Ordinary Sausage" managed quite a lot of spectacular deep frying failures. It's often bad technique but still...

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

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 6 points 3 days ago

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.

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

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.

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

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?

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

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

This is essentially Korean-style double-fried chicken

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.

Not yet, but I'm gonna try it now!

I tell you hwat

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Cleanup was too much for me. Didn't regret the purchase, but I don't have it anymore.

[–] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Oh yeah, it is a bit of a nightmare. We fry outside.
