This video is in response to Adam Ragusea's video on why deep frying at home is a bad idea. It is not sponsored by Nord VPN, nor is it meant to attack Adam personally, he is completely entitled to have his opinions and I actually do dig a lot of the stuff I've seen on his channel, but the fact that the message of his video is ultimately discouraging people to cook at home (at least for this method) is something I'm fundamentally against.
