What Type of heat is used for frying?

Here's why:

* Dry Heat: Frying involves using a hot cooking oil, which is a dry medium. This contrasts with moist heat methods like steaming or boiling.

* Conduction: The heat transfers from the hot oil to the food through direct contact. The oil molecules vibrate, transferring their energy to the food molecules, which then cook.

While other methods like radiation (heat from the stovetop or oven) and convection (heat circulating within the oil) also contribute to the cooking process, conduction is the primary method of heat transfer in frying.
