What is it with all this "pan fried" meat/fish/whatever?

[Dillinger4]

Pan fried sounds like it was done by a chef.

Shallow fried sounds like it was done in a chippy.

But deep friend stuff is still fried in a pan. Just a deep one.

If they mean "shallow fried", they should say that.

I see no pan-like qualities to this deep fat fryer

This is just like you and your weird pancake thing.

Well, pancakes are cooked in a pan. And what are those chips cooking in?

A chip pan.

I'm not wrong. Chips fried in a chip pan are pan fried. Just not shallow fried.

Simples.

Yeah. What he said ^

 

[dodgepot]

Not sure if this has been said, but surely it's as opposed to deep fried.

but IME people generally *say* deep fried if something has been deep fried as opposed to just fried. if a recipe calls for something to be deep fried it will specify that.

"pan fried" is just ponceyness.

 

[Voley]

I'm going to stop arguing with dodgepot and the ed about Morrissey and have a go at danny's lack of pan knowledge now.

It's been a fine day for intellectual pursuits on U75 today.

Quite. And if the recipe is really worried about confusion, 'shallow fried' will do the job.

 

[bendeus]

I see your 'pan-fried' and raise you 'good, honest food'. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

The preferred diet of 'hardworking families', no?

 

[danny la rouge]

danny's lack of pan knowledge now.

What have I said that's even controversial on the topic of pans? Chip pans are pans. Pans can be square. Grill pans are pans.

 

[dodgepot]

danny is quite correct on that fact.

I've bitten off more than I can chew here haven't I?

 

[DotCommunist]

There's no way industrial deep frying vats, nor the domestic versions can be described as pans.

 

[dodgepot]

don't gett too deflated, NVP, we've still to see what tarannau has to say on the subject.

 

[danny la rouge]

Have a go at the weed-driving thread. It's fun.

 

[Voley]

True. I'd imagine a fierce rebuttal of everything is imminent.
