Pan frying is a form of frying characterized by the use of less cooking oil than deep frying; using enough oil to, at most, cover the food to be cooked only half way. Pan frying usually requires the use of a frying 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 (which may or may not be desirable) and contact with the pan bottom creates greater browning on the contact surface (which may or may not be desirable.) Because of the partial coverage, the food must be flipped at least once to cook both sides. The advantages of using less oil are practical less oil is needed on hand and time spent heating the oil is much shorter. The chief disadvantage of using less oil is that it is more difficult to keep the oil at an even temperature. The moisture loss and increased browning can be beneficial or detrimental depending on the item cooked and its preparation and should be taken into account if there is a choice to be made between pan frying and deep frying. Generally, a shallower cooking vessel is used for pan frying than deep frying. Using a deep pan with a small amount of oil does reduce spatter but the increased moisture around the cooking food is generally detrimental to the preparation. A denser cooking vessel -- the pan should feel heavy for its size -- is necessarily better than a less dense pan since that mass will improve temperature regulation. An electric skillet can be used analogously to an electric deep fryer and many of these devices have a thermostat to keep the liquid (in this case, oil) at the desired temperature. A popular entree that would be described as "pan fried" would be fish or seafood.

2. Very Tasty Fried Vegetable
June 07, 2008
Heat up a little canola oil, or whatever you like to stir-fry with, in a deep pan or wok. Put the harder vegetables in first, and cook them hot, stir-frying them to keep them from getting burned. When those are starting to soften, turn down the heat a touch and add the "softer" vegetables, like squash and mushrooms. Add a little more oil if you must, and stir-fry everything until the new vegetables start to get tender. When they're done, so are you.
The vegetables I like to use in this recipe is pretty similar to the stuff I like to steam. Yellow & zucchini squash, zucchini peel (not kidd... (read more)

11. Steamed Shrimp
March 24, 2008
Steamed Shrimp is a very simple noodle dish of pork and shrimp, 'Woon Sen' is glass noodle, 'gung' means shrimp, but the important word here is 'op'. We call it 'op', because you layer the ingredients in the frying pan, add a little water and cover the noodles with a lid, the water sort of part-steams, part-fries the noodles. 'Op' refers to this cooking method and there isn't a simple word in English that corresponds to it. A couple of things to note: 1. Use pork with some fat in it for this dish, it will give the dish a lot of extra flavour. 2. Maggi sauce is a savory flavouring sauce that i... (read more)

12. Home Based Business Opportunity: Some Key Things To Avoid If You Want To Succeed
February 18, 2008
Almost 500 years ago, the English statesman Thomas More advised people not to jump from the frying pan into the fire, meaning avoid going from a difficult situation into a worse one. An extreme example of that is someone with a gambling problem who incurs an exorbitant debt with some “bad people” (the frying pan) who then borrows money from a loan shark who uses big muscular thugs to collect his money (the fire).
To a lesser degree, thousands of good, smart people “jump into the fire” daily on the Internet these days. That happens when people who are in the frying pan (going to a job they... (read more)

14. How Well Does Your Frying Pan Conduct Heat?
February 12, 2008
One of the most commonly used items of cookware, the frying pan covers a wide range of utilities; it is great for simply browning food or for frying and searing too. The traditional flat frying pan has flared sides and is completely lidless; however, modern culinary practice sometimes adds a lid for the preparation of certain dishes, but on such occasions we are no longer talking about a frying pan but about a sauté pan. Traditionally made of cast iron, the modern frying pan is presently manufactured of special materials such as stainless steel. Aluminum and Teflon are two other special combi... (read more)

September 09, 2007
Far too often, domestic abuse survivors go from the frying pan to the fire on their way out of an abusive relationship. And they wonder how this can happen. While it doesn’t always happen, it’s more common than most people realize. I lived systemic abuse; I write about it, I know it from the core of my being. But, I never understood it so thoroughly until I was asked to explain it to someone whose life was altered dramatically by it.

24. From The Frying Pan Into The Fire
August 03, 2007
Years ago, a friend of mine planned to move from one job to another because she didn't feel valued in the one she had. Since I was afraid she hadn't dealt with the reason she'd attracted the original job and feeling of being mistreated, I wondered if changing jobs was a good idea. She asserted that her new boss would recognize her worth. A few months later, she was complaining how her new boss treated her worse than her old one.
When we don't deal with the underlying, emotional cause that attracted a difficult situation into our lives, then we'll get to experience it again. There's an ol... (read more)

25. Banning Trans Fats: Out Of The Frying Pan, Into The Fire
January 29, 2007
Studies have shown that trans fats reduce our levels of HDL (the good cholesterol) and increase our levels of LDL (the bad cholesterol). All of which may be bad for your heart.
So cities across the US have either already banned trans fats from their restaurants or are considering doing so. All in the name of protecting the public health.
Also, many food companies are reformulating their foods to eliminate trans fats. But then they have to. Otherwise, they'll be portrayed as the bad guys trying to make a buck off the poor, unsuspecting public by poisoning us with their unhealthy foods... (read more)
