Are You a Frying Expert?

Cooking of food in oil or another fat

Pan-frying involves turning the food over once or twice during cooking, while sautéing involves tossing the food in the pan.

Shallow frying uses only enough fat to immerse approximately one-third to one-half of each piece of food, while deep frying involves totally immersing the food in hot oil.
