Frying

Fried plantain

Frying is the cooking of food in oil or another fat.[a][1] Similar to sautéing, pan-fried foods are generally turned over once or twice during cooking to make sure that the food is evenly cooked, using tongs or a spatula, whilst sautéed foods are cooked by "tossing in the pan".[2] A large variety of foods may be fried.
