Frying uses medium to high heat and a small amount of oil to cook foods like chicken or fish. Heavy-duty stainless steel or cast iron frying pans are ideal for even cooking and heat retention.
• Frying Pan
• Wok
• Place the frying pan or wok on the stove and heat over medium to high heat.
• Add a small amount of oil, choosing one with a high smoke point, such as canola or peanut
• Heat the oil until it shimmers. Avoid overheating to prevent smoking.
• Carefully add the food to the pan, ensuring it is not overcrowded to allow for even cooking.
• Turn or stir the food occasionally to ensure it cooks evenly and crisps up as desired.
• Remove the food once it is golden and cooked through.
• Drain excess oil on paper towels if necessary and serve immediately.
• Step 1: Allow the pan to cool completely before cleaning.
• Step 2: Wipe away excess oil with paper towels.
• Step 3: Rinse the pan with warm water and wash with a sponge and dish soap. For non-stick surfaces, use non-abrasive tools to avoid damaging the coating.
• Step 4: Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent rust or water spots.
