Fryolator:
A deep fryer (or deep fat fryer) is a kitchen appliance used to cook foods by full immersion in hot oil (“deep frying)”. The cooking oil (or fats) are typically between temperatures of 350 to 375 °F (177 to 191 °C).[1]
Long common in commercial kitchens, household models now available have become increasingly prevalent.
Deep frying has become well known in the United States, from frying sticks of butter to Twinkies, but the method can be traced back to Roman times.
With fryolator being a synonym. Noted in “October 20, 2024,” Heather Cox Richardson, Letters from an American:
Today, in what apparently was designed to show Trump as relatable and to compete with the story that Vice President Harris worked at a McDonalds when she was in college, Trump did a photo op at a McDonalds in the swing state of Pennsylvania, where he took prepared fries out of the fryolator. It was an odd moment, for Trump has never portrayed himself as a man of the people so much as a man to lead the people, and the picture of him in a McDonald’s apron undercuts his image as a dominant leader.
But in any case, it was all staged: the restaurant was closed, the five “customers” were loyalists who had practiced their roles, and when Trump handed food through the drive-through window, he did not take money or make change.
“Now I have worked at McDonald’s,” he said afterward. “I’ve now worked for 15 minutes more than Kamala.”
