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.

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...
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
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?

This is essentially Korean-style double-fried chicken

Not yet, but I'm gonna try it now!
Cleanup was too much for me. Didn't regret the purchase, but I don't have it anymore.
Oh yeah, it is a bit of a nightmare. We fry outside.

Well, other than your health.
Although you aren't really deep frying it directly. Just by proxy.

What was the conclusion a commenter made again? Something about the common denominator between all societies is danger sticks and tasty doughs.
Something about stabbing something and eating fried dough
Really? Those blind shrimp aren’t deep frying their food on the undersea volcanos? Are we sure?
Yeah, because it's in water, not oil, it ain't frying. It's boiling.
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
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.

Changing the temp doesn’t change the way it’s cooked.
It literally does
I don’t think so. I can bake things in my oven at like, so many different temps and they are all just baking.
And you’ve been down there to make sure they’re not using oil?
Not without a way to contain liquid fats underwater.
Whales seem to have mastered that!
And you’ve been down there to check all their cooking containers?
O really?

I can't say the same for humans.
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.
I believe there was recently a discovery of chimps shoving grass up their butts so the tips hang out the end.

Elephants would probably try it but they can't reach, so they get a friend to help
I think animals are wise enough to understand most things don’t have a flared base
I don't think even humans want to do that.
For most animals with claws or hooves it would be extremely hard to do that without hurting itself in the process
"But, I don't like..."
"Ah, ah, ah--but, have you tried it deep-fried?"
"Hmm... Ooo!"
"Yep."
That and the cool S.

Deep frying is a way of life in the American South.
An area populated by large numbers of indentured servants from Scotland.
Why do I feel like I've been insulted at the same time as praised?
Beer, bread, and deep frying. Deep fry bread in beer to achieve the ultimate Human Experience™
For a quite wide definition of beer though
Trying to figure out what separates us from other animals is a unique human trait.
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.
Only in warm climates, definitely not "almost all" cultures.

Y'all got any papers on one of the Australian Aboriginal societies deep frying?
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
I'm not sure I'd call any part of the process of making pemmican "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

Deep frying pizza is what makes British cuisine superior
(Or at least is the saving grace after shepherd's pie, English breakfast, and all their other tripe)
Not sure if generic insult or if you're talking about actual tripe.
