			'''Frying''' is a cooking method in which food is submerged in hot fat, such as oil or butter. This technique is used to cook a wide variety of foods, including meats, vegetables, and dough-based items. Frying can be done using different methods, such as deep frying, pan frying, and stir frying, each imparting unique textures and flavors to the food.

			== Methods of Frying ==

			=== Deep Frying ===

			Deep frying involves completely submerging food in hot oil. This method is commonly used for cooking foods like [[French fries]], [[doughnuts]], and [[fried chicken]]. The high temperature of the oil cooks the food quickly, creating a crispy outer layer while keeping the inside moist and tender.

			=== Pan Frying ===

	~~== History ==~~		Pan frying uses a smaller amount of oil than deep frying and is typically done in a shallow pan. Foods such as [[pancakes]], [[omelettes]], and [[fish fillets]] are often pan-fried. This method allows for more control over the cooking process and is suitable for foods that require a gentler heat.

	The history of frying as a cooking method can be traced back to ancient cultures. The Romans, for example, were known to have used frying as a cooking method. The method was also popular in the Middle East and Asia, where it was used to cook a variety of foods.		=== Stir Frying ===

	~~== Types of Frying ==~~		[[File:Morozov_AI_009.jpg\|Stir frying vegetables in a wok\|thumb\|left]]

	~~There are several types~~ of frying, ~~each with its own specific~~ method and ~~purpose~~. ~~These include:~~		Stir frying is a technique originating from [[China]] that involves cooking food quickly in a small amount of oil over high heat. A [[wok]] is often used for stir frying, allowing for even heat distribution. This method is ideal for cooking small, uniform pieces of food, such as [[vegetables]], [[meat]], and [[tofu]].

	* '''[[Deep frying]]''' - This involves completely submerging the food in hot oil or fat. This method is often used for foods like [[french fries]], [[chicken]], and [[doughnuts]].		== Types of Oils Used in Frying ==
	* '''[[Pan frying]]''' - This involves frying food in a small amount of ~~oil or fat, often in a frying pan. This method is often used for foods like [[steak]], [[eggs]], and [[pancakes]].~~

	* '''[[Sautéing]]''' - This involves frying food quickly in a small amount of oil or fat over high heat. This method is often used for vegetables and meats.

	~~While~~ frying ~~can add a delicious~~ flavor ~~and texture to food~~, it ~~can also add~~ a ~~significant amount of fat~~ and ~~calories~~. ~~This can lead to weight gain~~ and ~~other health problems if consumed~~ in ~~excess.

			* [[Olive oil]]: Often used for pan frying due to its distinct flavor, though it has a lower smoke point.
			* [[Peanut oil]]: Known for its high smoke point and mild flavor, making it ideal for deep frying.
			* [[Coconut oil]]: Offers a unique flavor and is often used in tropical cuisines.

	== ~~See Also~~ ==		== Health Considerations ==

	* [[Cooking methods]]		Frying can increase the calorie content of food due to the absorption of oil. It is important to choose oils with healthy fat profiles and to maintain proper frying temperatures to minimize the formation of harmful compounds. Moderation and balance are key when incorporating fried foods into a diet.
