Discuss different types of frying food

  

Answers


Faith
1. Sautéing and stir frying
• Sautéing and stir frying use the least amount of fat to heat the food
• Stir frying is predominantly done in Asian cooking; the pan is held stationary while the food is stirred and turned over very quickly using a cooking stick
• To sauté is to cook food quickly in minimal amount of fat over relatively high heat
• Sautéing is done in a frying pan, a special sauté pan or on a griddle
• Foods most frequently prepared on a griddle with a little fat include: eggs, pancakes and hamburgers (with the fat derived from the meat itself

2.Pan- broiling and pan- frying
• Pan- broiling refers to placing food (usually meat) in a very hot frying pan , with no added fat and pouring off fat as it accumulates.
• If the fat is not poured off, pan broiling becomes pan frying, which uses a moderate amount of fat (up to half an inch deep), but not enough to completely cover the food

3.Deep frying
• In deep frying, the food is completely immersed in oil
• Most deep fried foods are first coated with breading or batter to enhance moisture retention, flavor
development, tenderness, browning, crispiness and overall appearance.
• The characteristics of the coating influence a fried food’s final outcome
• A fine – crumb breading absorbs less fat, but a coarser grain produces a crisper texture
• Sugar in the coating speeds up browning, but this is undesirable if the outside browns and appears done
while the inside remains uncooked
