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

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

And you’ve been down there to make sure they’re not using oil?

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.

Pressure cooking is still boiling though

[–] Brgor@lemmy.zip 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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.

Changing the temp doesn’t change the way it’s cooked.

I don’t think so. I can bake things in my oven at like, so many different temps and they are all just baking.

Sou vide is different than boiling is different than pressure cooking.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 3 points 11 hours ago

Yeah but you do different things to get those besides just changing the temperature.
