This is a more complicated question than you might expect.
There are three basic way heat moves, convection, radiation, and conduction. Convection moves heat around by the rising and falling (currents) of some medium like air or water. The currents form, because heated material (in general) is less dense than cooler material. Therefore, convection *never* happens in the absence of gravity.
Radiation is always in the form of light, specifically infrared. The warmth you feel when sunlight touches your skin is this kind heat.
Lastly, there's conduction where heat moves from one thing to another by contact.
Frying pan cooking (dry) primarily uses conduction, but radiation and convection do play roles. Frying pan cooking (with oil) primarily uses convection, but conduction is involved if the food sticks to the bottom.

Does bacon cook in the frying pan because of convection?
Yes, Conduction is illustrated by the heat being transferred from the hot pan into the egg which then causes the egg to heat and transform.
A hamburger sizzles on a frying pan?
A hamburger sizzles on a frying pan as a result of conduction.
Why does the bottom of a frying pan hot when you put it on the stove?
conduction causes a frying pan to get hot on a stove....................
Is a hamburger sizzles on a frying pan an example of convection?
Mostly conduction.
What Type of heat is used for frying?
The heat used for frying is transferred to the pan by conduction and radiation and is transferred to the fried object by conduction through the oil.
What can destroy whitebait egg?
A frying pan
What is chemically changed the pan the egg or the fat when frying an egg?
The chemical composition was changed during frying.
What is the best frying pan for fry egg?
Non stick pan
How does heat transferred in conduction?
Heat is directly transferred, like a frying pan.
How would energy transfer from one form to another if you were frying an egg?
conduction
Heat trasferred by touch is called?
Conduction Conduction is the transfer through direct contact which leads to the vibration of atoms. An example of conduction is a frying pan on a stove.
Cooking an egg in a frying pan is an example of what?
A chemical reaction?
