Phrases you hate

Idiot commentators who refer to a "delicious" cross or shot, it makes me want to punch something very hard.

"Pan fried"


And WTF else would it be fried in?
A deep fat frier.

Edit: just seen you've been rightly pulled up on it.

Pan fried rump steak, pan fried dover sole, pan fried fillet of salmon, pan fried duck breast, pan fried pork loin fillet.

I'm sorry, but nobody is going to stick any of that in a chip pan. If something is deep fried, say so. Otherwise it's safe to assume it's not been fried in an envelope, a box, a fridge or anything else other than a pan, so saying it's "pan fried" is pretentious.

No it's not. It's fried unless pan fried.

Fried refers to deep frying, ie wholly submerged in oil.

What about shallow fried then?

It has instructions for " to shallow fry" in the How to Cook section of many common food packages, such as fish fingers.

Shallow fry is a larger amount of oil than you would use when pan frying but still not fully submerged.

Pan frying uses virtually no oil, just enough to moisten the ingredients.
