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.

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

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...

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

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

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 5 points 11 hours ago

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

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

I've had deep fried butter.

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.

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

[–] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

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

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

This is essentially Korean-style double-fried chicken

I tell you hwat

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

[–] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

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