What are the three types of frying?

1. Shallow Frying: This is the most common type of frying. Food is cooked in a shallow pan with a small amount of oil, usually about 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep. The food is typically submerged in the oil, but not completely covered. Examples include frying eggs, chicken breasts, and fish fillets.

2. Deep Frying: This involves completely immersing the food in hot oil, typically in a deep fryer or a large pot. The oil needs to be deep enough to cover the food completely. Deep frying produces a crispy outer layer and a tender interior, and is often used for foods like french fries, chicken nuggets, and donuts.

3. Pan Frying: This is a type of shallow frying where a larger amount of oil is used than in regular shallow frying, and the food is cooked over a higher heat. The oil is typically about 1/2 to 3/4 inch deep. Pan frying is often used for foods like steaks, scallops, and vegetables.
