All About Frying

THE VERY NOTION OF FRYING sparks controversy, nearly as much as barbecue, but with a scarier reputation. We're a nation that loves to fry, but we're afraid of it, too.

Frying is a very efficient means of cooking. Oil gets far hotter than water and due to the absence of water in fat, you're actually cooking drier. Somewhat paradoxically, drier cooking means less moisture evaporating, which makes for juicier meat. The types of fat used for frying differ as much as batters and breading methods. We are all passionate about which kind of fat to use. Some folks swear by pork fat, beef suet, or duck fat, and those do impart great flavor. But sometimes rich meaty flavor isn't what you're looking for. And there's a tradeoff: meat fat is saturated fat.
