Frying Basics

Article: How to Fry

“There are three basic methods of frying using fats:

Pan Frying, also known as sautéing, uses a small amount of melted shortening or oil about 1/4 to 1/2-inch deep – just enough to cover the bottom of the pan.

Shallow Frying uses enough melted shortening or oil to partially cover the food.

Deep Frying completely covers or submerges the food in melted shortening or oil.”

Lots of facts and tips for frying!

Article: How to Deep Fry Anything

“Deep frying is a delectable way to enjoy food. When you deep fry something, a delicious, crisply browned outside surrounds warm goodness inside. And you can deep fry anything: cookies, vegetables, chicken, ice cream, fruit, and more. In fact, if you get it in your fryer, you can eat it! Keep in mind that deep frying needn’t mean excessive fat consumption; your food will absorb no more fat than when you sauté or stir-fry. Perhaps most importantly, the proper attention will make deep frying as safe as any other means of cooking. So take the plunge and enjoy! “
