AIBU to have a real fear of cooking Scotch Eggs?

I'm in my 60s, a keen cook, and yet I'm sitting here worried, because I'm about to cook my very own home-made Scotch eggs for the first time. If you cook them regularly, do you have any tips? I'm going to be frying them in deep oil in a wok, so they'll need turning (as opposed to a deep fat fryer). I don't know why I've never cooked these before, or why they make me so nervous - but they do! Reassurance welcomed :)

I do mine in the air fryer. No turning!
Well done!

Me too. Good spray of olive oil all over before putting them in.

I made scotch eggs in a school home ec lesson about 50 years ago now! Yours look lovely op.

So did we, in the 90s. Shout out to Clare N, whose parents were diplomats so she was basically brought up by a nanny, and had never baked at home. So when asked to wrap the whole boiled egg in sausage meat, did, shell and all. Mmmm. Crunchy.
