Cooking in fat is a common technique used in many types of cuisine. Frying, braising, and deep-frying are all methods of cooking in fat. Frying is a method of cooking food in hot oil or fat over high heat. Braising is a method of cooking food in a small amount of liquid and fat over low heat for a long period of time. Deep-frying is a method of cooking food in hot oil or fat at a temperature higher than that used for frying. All three methods of cooking in fat can be used to create delicious dishes.
