Why do people use terms like "pan fried"or Oven roasted".How else do you roast or fry?

Answer 1

They say things like that coz they have been told to say things like that by some arsehole marketing/PR company. Its the only way cooks can make themselves sound more exciting.

Answer 2

Because you can deep-fry (immersed in hot fat, like fish and chips), shallow-fry (in a layer of liquid fat that doesn't cover the object being cooked, like crab cakes or latkes), stir-fry (a Chinese cooking style, using very little oil and lots of tossing the food in the wok), and finally pan-fry (less fat than shallow-frying, so that the surfaces get caramelized slightly). Once you learn the differences between these various techniques, the end results are like chalk and cheese.

And you can pan-roast (covered low-temperature pan-frying, in essence, so that the heat from the frying is trapped in the skillet) as well as oven-roast, and of course there's roasting over an open fire, which can be done to many things besides chestnuts.

Answer 3

Roasting used to be done outside on a 'spit' we now roast in the oven. Pan fried is a term used for frying in a frying pan as opposed to deep fat frying.

Answer 4

There are several ways to fry and roast, Deep fried and dry rost being two example. Different terms are used to say which way was used. This is important in the kitchen. Also it looks good on a menu or on the special board.

Answer 5

Well, frying could mean deep fat frying or pan fried (in very little oil), so they are distinguishing between those two frying methods.

As far as oven roasted, I guess it just sounds good on a menu or in a title! :-)

Answer 6

You can fry in a pan OR in a deep fat fryer...
You can roast in an oven, a "dutch"oven, a barbecue (on a spit) or hawaiian style buried in a hole in the ground with hot coals underneath and leaves covering it up!
Hope that clears your doubts!
:-)

Answer 7

No idea about pan fried - but you can roast over a spit dug into the ground ie spit roast!
