Pan frying is a form of frying characterized by the use of minimal cooking oil or fat (compared to shallow frying or deep frying); typically using just enough oil to lubricate the pan. As a form of frying, pan frying relies on oil as the heat transfer medium and on correct temperature to retain the moisture in the food. The exposed topside allows, unlike deep frying, some moisture loss and contact with the pan bottom creates greater browning on the contact surface. Because of the partial coverage, the food must be flipped at least once to cook both sides.
[edit] About Pan Frying
A cooking technique used to cook food in a moderate amount of fat in an uncovered pan on medium to low heat. This method is preferred over sauteing for larger pieces of food such as chicken and lamb chops, which require longer cooking and cannot be tossed by flipping the pan.
The amount of fat to be used when Pan-frying is largely dependent on the food to be cooked. Pan fried eggs would require less fat than pan fried chicken. Foods that are pan fried are often put in the oven to finish cooking.
