Heat Transfer Conduction – transfer of heat from one item to another. Surface to surface like a pot or in the air.
Convection – transfer of heat caused by the movement of molecules from a warmer area to a cooler one. Forced hot air is an example.
Radiation – no physical contact between heat source and the food. Heat is created by moving water molecules in the food creating friction. Goes from the outside of the food inside through conduction.

Uses more fat than sautéing and stir frying, less than deep-frying
Pan-Frying
High smoking point Examples:
Clarified butterNeutral-flavored oil (sunflower, corn, etc.)Olive oilRendered fats
Oil temperature = +/- 350°F/ 175°C

1. Heat oil to appropriate temperature
2. Add main item (usually breaded or batter-coated) to pan in a single layer
3. Pan-fry food on the first side until well browned - Presentations side
4. Turn item and cook to the desired doneness
5. Remove item and finish in oven, if necessary
6. Drain item on paper towels
7. Season and serve with appropriate sauce and garnish
Pan-Frying Method
Coat and cook items as close to service as possible Drain items of excess fat after cooking Discard fat containing a lot of burnt particles Make sauce separately Try not to finish fried items in oven – liquid will come out and make coating soggy
