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 32 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 days ago

Beginner level tempura sushi (forgot the batter)

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] NoPanko@feddit.uk 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 6 points 2 days ago

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

[–] bear@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 days ago

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 6 points 2 days ago

Just seal it in dough (as in soup dumplings) then deep fry them.

I've had deep fried butter.

What was the conclusion a commenter made again? Something about the common denominator between all societies is danger sticks and tasty doughs.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 3 days ago

Something about stabbing something and eating fried dough

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

That and the cool S.

Really? Those blind shrimp aren’t deep frying their food on the undersea volcanos? Are we sure?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 21 points 3 days ago (9 children)

Yeah, because it's in water, not oil, it ain't frying. It's boiling.

If shrimp can fry rice, they can deep fry as well.

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Not without a way to contain liquid fats underwater.

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.

I can't say the same for humans.

[–] e0qdk@reddthat.com 24 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I don't know about bears, but I wouldn't it put it past a bonobo...

Edit: Dolphins are also famously kinky and some of them would probably do it if they could.

[–] QuantumStorm@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I believe there was recently a discovery of chimps shoving grass up their butts so the tips hang out the end.

Some random traveler:
My milk is so far spoiled it has gone solid. But I can't let it go to waste!

Elephants would probably try it but they can't reach, so they get a friend to help

[–] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Technically we don't know what every bear has or hasn't done

"But, I don't like..."

"Ah, ah, ah--but, have you tried it deep-fried?"

"Hmm... Ooo!"

"Yep."

[–] carmo55@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Only in warm climates, definitely not "almost all" cultures.

So that's how human beings are different from all animals! Wow!

[–] Klear@quokk.au 9 points 2 days ago

Trying to figure out what separates us from other animals is a unique human trait.

Beer, bread, and deep frying. Deep fry bread in beer to achieve the ultimate Human Experience™

Why do I feel like I've been insulted at the same time as praised?
