1, different fuel consumption

The amount of frying oil is relatively small, which refers to the process of heating a small amount of oil in a pot and then putting food into it to cook it. Frying generally requires a lot of oil, and oil needs to drown fried food.

2, the size of the fire is different

When frying, it is generally necessary to cook with strong fire, so that the surface temperature of fried food will rise rapidly, water will evaporate, and a dry layer will appear on the surface, forming a hard shell. Then, the water vapor layer migrates to the inside of food, and when the surface temperature of food rises to the temperature of hot oil, the internal temperature also rises gradually. At the same time, the caramelization reaction occurred on the surface of food, and some substances were decomposed, resulting in the unique color and fragrance of fried food. The process of frying is to fry slowly with low fire. If the fire is too big, it is easy to burn the food and make it lose its original taste.

3. Different application occasions

Deep-frying is suitable for making massive and flaky foods with large surface area, such as sliced meat, eggs and pies. Frying is mainly suitable for dough-like or irregular-shaped foods, and the area should not be too large, such as meatballs, tofu balls, diced chicken and so on.
