Frying is a cooking process wherein food is submerged in hot fat, most commonly oil, heated to temperatures typically between 175°C (350°F) and 190°C (375°F). This method achieves a unique combination of crispy exterior and tender interior by dehydrating the food's surface and sometimes triggering chemical reactions like the Maillard reaction, which enhances flavor.
