Pan Frying Technique: Step by Step

  • Pre-heated, using medium-high heat for several minutes
  • Heat oil to an appropriate temperature.
  • Add the main item (usually breaded or flour coated) to the frying pan in a single layer.
  • Pan-fry the item on the first side until well browned (as presentation side)
  • Turn the item and cook to the desired doneness.
  • Remove the item and finish in the oven, if necessary (for a thick item only).
  • Drain the item on paper towels
  • Serve with appropriate sauce and garnish.





Pan Frying Method Tips

  • Cook and fry items as close to service as possible.
  • Drain items of excess fat after frying/ cooking.
  • Discard fat containing a lot of burn particles.
  • Try not to finish fried the items in the oven, the liquid will come out and make the coating soggy.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan.
  • Cook the food shortly after applying the coatings.
  • Turn the food only once as it cooks.
  • Served Immediately.

    Pan-frying is a satisfying technique, especially when using a commercial wok—it heats evenly and gives a great sear to coated items like fish or chicken. I’ve found that keeping the oil at the right temperature and not overcrowding the pan really makes a difference. Timing and prep are everything!

    Das Braten in der Pfanne ist eine einfache, aber sehr befriedigende Kochtechnik, bei der man die Textur und den Geschmack des Essens richtig genießen kann. Ich hatte eines Abends ein ähnliches Experimentiergefühl beim Ausprobieren neuer Rezepte und bin zufällig auf ivy bet gestossen. Ich habe ein paar Spins ausprobiert, um kurz von der Küche abzuschalten. Zuerst lief Book of Dead eher schlecht und ich hatte Verluste, dann habe ich einmal etwas höher gesetzt und einen schönen Gewinn erzielt. Die Boni für Spieler aus der Schweiz machen es zusätzlich spannend, deshalb nutze ich es manchmal als kleine Ablenkung beim Ausprobieren neuer Kochmethoden.
