Everything about Pan frying

Cooking technique

Pan frying or pan-frying is a form of frying food characterized by the use of minimal cooking oil or fat, typically using just enough to grease the pan. In the case of a greasy food such as bacon, no oil or fats may need to be added. As a form of frying, the technique relies on oil or fat as the heat transfer medium, and on correct temperature and time to not overcook or burn the food. Pan frying can serve to retain the moisture in foods such as meat and seafood. The food is typically flipped at least once to ensure that both sides are cooked properly. Wikipedia →
