Frying is the process of cooking food in hot oil so the outer surface browns and crisps. Heat is transferred quickly through the oil and cooking time is generally short. It's commonly applied to vegetables, meat, and pastries.
Where It's Used
“Once the oil is thoroughly hot, add the ingredients in small batches to fry.”
