Frying and Sauteeing Foods
Frying food is cooking in hot fat or oil until it is browned on all sides and cooked through. Frying is usually done in a shallow skillet. Sauteing is a dry heat cooking method. The pan is very hot with just a small amount of oil or fat, and the food cooks or browns quickly.

If you are frying something and the oil catches fire what should you do?

What is a frying thermometer?
Asked by Wiki User
The reason it's necessary for serious baking is that often an oven thermostat doesn't represent the exact oven temperature, and often different spots in the oven can vary 5-10 degrees. This can impact (actually ruin, in some cases) the chance for success, depending on the delicate nature of the project. Baking is really just a big exercise in chemistry: measurement, chemical reactions, catalysts, etc... so the precise heat can be a make-or-break issue.
Why is grilling healthier then frying or baking?
Asked by Wiki User
Grilling is healthier because u do not put it in fattening oil or baked comes with the extra skin which is also unhealthy so grilling is healthier because no oil no extra skin and just burnt on a grill hence grilling.
Can fried chicken be left unrefrigerated?
Asked by Wiki User
Years ago, I read the longest you could leave RAW chicken out after getting out of the grocery store refrigerator was 4 hours. Theoretically, you should be able to leave cooked chicken out longer than raw, and I have to admit to having left it out by accident longer than that and taking a chance and still eating it, without any adverse consequences.
How long the fried chicken can last in the open will ultimately depend on whether it was cooled after cooking, how it is stored (i.e. in a picnic basket next to cool ingredients is better than left out on a counter), the temperature, and the like. The hotter it is, the sooner it will go bad.
Can chicken be fried in water?
Asked by Wiki User
No. That would defeat the purpose of 'frying'. You would end up with boiled chicken instead of fried chicken.

Frying an egg physical or chemical change?
Asked by Wiki User
There are both physical and chemical changes happening in both frying eggs or baking a cake. These are not simple reactions, many complex events happen inside these foods during cooking.
A few examples:
- polymerizations and crosslinkings are happening in the eggs - chemical change
- proteins and sugars combine causing browning of the cake - chemical change
- baking soda or baking powder in the cake gives off carbon dioxide - chemical change
- carbon dioxide forms bubbles causing the cake to rise - physical change
- water is evaporating from both the eggs and the cake - physical change
- etc.

Why do eggs stick in stainless frying pans?
Asked by Wiki User
Making sure you have a non-stick pan definitely helps! Another thing is a little splash of olive oil. Put a little olive oil in your pan, heat it up, and crack your egg on top for perfect sunny side up eggs.

What is the method for deep frying?
Asked by Wiki User
Well, pudding pop, if you can belly up to your oven despite your overhanging belly, you freeze the cookie dough, then drop it in some hot oil (like you'd use for your fried peanut butter sandwiches). Stand back so you don't get hot oil on your favorite Star Wars t-shirt! ---- Cookie Dough can be tough one to fry. Right after tossing into the boiling oil, it loses its form. Let's manipulate the squishy pliant form of cookie dough by solidifying its form enough for you to mold it into your desired form.
Deep Frying Cookie Dough Procedure: 1. After you have created your cookie dough check its wetness and thickness. If you think you can't mold it because it's too runny or it won't keep its form after your molded it, put your dough in a plastic bag for space conservation and place it in your freezer for an hour or 30 minutes (varies on how fluid the dough is). 2. After an hour, judge its texture. When you have achieved your ideal cookie dough texture for cookie molding, remove the dough from the freezer and proceed to molding.
tip: Start molding immediately, don't wait for the mold to melt back into its runny form.
If it's still not molding material let it sit in the freezer a little longer. 3. After you molded your cookie dough, put it back in the freezer for 20 minutes to make sure it maintains its form.
tip: Protect the cookie dough form by placing it on a flat surface like flat metal pan or glass plate.
4. Boil your oil and prepare a plate with absorbent tissue paper to capture the loose oil after you take out the fried cookie. Take your molded cookie dough out when your oil is ready. Proceed to deep frying. Take out when golden brown or done if your dough is chocolate flavored.

Is olive oil good for deep frying?
Asked by Wiki User
"Light" olive oil will smoke less than "Virgin" olive oils and be fine for most frying purposes. If you want more flavor, you can use mid grade (virgin but not extra virgin), but be careful with the temperature. The highest grades are usually used for direct consumption such as in salad dressings.

What is double frying?
Asked by Wiki User
Double frying is sometimes call par-fried. It is simply this: fry your dish (french fries, egg rolls, fish, etc.) for 2-3 minutes at about 325 degrees. They outside should be light golden, but not more. The food, such as french fries, will actually be a bit limp. Take the food out onto paper towels to drain away the excess oil. Let the food cool. Then raise the oil temperature to 375. Put the food back into the oil for 3-4 minutes, or until it is as done as you want it to be.
This process insures that the inside will be well cooked and the outside not burned. It will also result in much more crispy foods. Larger foods, such as egg rolls may actually be fried 3 times. Many restaurants par-cook the food well before serving time and refrigerate (or even freeze). Then they do the 2nd frying at serving time. This is how fast food restaurants generally do the french fries we all love.
