Took me 6 months to realize I was overcrowding the basket
Every batch came out soggy. I kept blaming the recipe. Then my buddy watched me cook and goes "dude you're cramming that thing full". Pulled out my manual and it said max 1 layer with space. Felt like an idiot. Now I do small batches and everything actually crisps up. Who else made this mistake?

Counterpoint: maybe your recipe just sucks. Too much moisture in the batter or wrong oil temp could still wreck a full basket.

That 170°F oil temp drop when adding a full basket is the real killer nobody talks about.
