originated in Africa

Deep frying originated in Africa.

Any source to support this claim. There is a long tradition of deep frying in Chinese cuisine. It would be very hard to prove a specific origin. This is like saying cooking started in Africa. Kowloonese July 8, 2005 17:55 (UTC)

Considering that the human species originated in Africa, it's pretty fair to say that cooking originated there. tooki 17:49, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Probably someone can expand on the fair statement "mothers are women". How about adding "descendant of Adam and Eve" to every biographical article here? What is the value of such a statement in an encyclopedia when it is deduced from some remote and unrelated facts or beliefs? Kowloonese 20:58, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Still would be nice to have a 'history' of deep frying section in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.74.132.31 (talk) 13:45, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

"best" classified

Because no water is used, deep frying is best classified as a dry cooking method.

Is it or isn't it classified as such? Wonderstruck 11:26, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Good question. The way it's written suggests that it's someone's opinion. WillNL 21:37, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

It's fried in a liquid. I don't think wet cooking would require water, just a liquid. - MSTCrow 04:22, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

I've seen it listed both ways. I think it's fair to list deep-frying as a dry cooking method, because on a physical level the lack of water makes a difference. Deep-fried foods are very different from boiled foods--compare French fries and boiled potatoes. Also, pan-frying is usually listed as a dry-cooking method.--5th earth (talk) 02:21, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

deep fried random

My fish and chip shop offers deep fried mars bars (chocolate in batter) and deep fried coke (soft drink mixed with batter). Yummy! HarveyDanger 05:49, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Why do we like deep fried things so much?

I removed "domestically" because it sounds like it's supposed to mean "in the United States." However, as one reads on, one finds that, in this article, it is supposed to mean "in the home," which is another meaning for the word. Since businesses often use the methods described as in this article as "domestic," I simply removed the word entirely. No meaning is lost, as you will find from a simple perusal. ask123 04:20, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

UGH! Deep-fried coke? That sounds revolting! Drinking fizzy batter? *pukes* ← κεηηε∂γ ^{(talk) (secret)} 09:44, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

What does "domestically" really mean here?

I removed the word "domestically" because it appears as if it's supposed to mean "in the United States" or "within this country." However, as one reads on, one finds that, in this article, it's supposed to mean "in the home" or "in the domestic realm." Since businesses also use the methods of deep-frying described as domestic in this version of the article, I have simply removed the word entirely. No meaning is lost. ask123 04:23, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

New pictures?

Can we get a picture at the top of the page that isn't a Twinkie? That's a new fad, and hardly what most people think of when they think of deep frying. Bigpeteb (talk) 22:55, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Tastier?

Why deep-fried or fried food taste better than other methods of cooking? ThunderXANA (talk) 10:49, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

It's not. That's just your opinion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.118.23.19 (talk) 00:50, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
