Home›Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes›Cooking Method›Deep FryingCulinary TechniqueDeep FryingDry-Heat Cooking MethodsReference and ClassificationVerifiedDeep frying is a cooking method in which food is fully submerged in hot fat or oil, traditionally lard and today most often a vegetable oil, cooking it rapidly at high temperature so the exterior crisps and browns while the interior cooks through, distinguishing it from shallow or pan frying, where the food is only partly covered by fat. The practice is ancient, with evidence of deep-fried dough in the late second millennium BCE in Canaan and of oil frying in ancient Greece by around the fifth century BCE, though most of today's specific deep-fried dishes and the modern terminology developed in the nineteenth century.FactsDeep FryingConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsOrigin RegionWell-attestedCanaan 1Heat LevelWell-attestedHigh 2Deep FryingFilter Results25 entriesCuisineAllAmerican Cuisine (2)Bengali Cuisine (1)British Cuisine (3)Chinese Cuisine (2)Egyptian Cuisine (2)French Cuisine (3)German Cuisine (1)Greek Cuisine (1)Indian Cuisine (1)Indonesian Cuisine (3)Italian Cuisine (1)Japanese Cuisine (2)Mexican Cuisine (2)Middle Eastern Cuisine (2)Portuguese Cuisine (1)South African Cuisine (2)Spanish Cuisine (2)Tunisian Cuisine (1)CourseAllAppetizer (3)Dessert (8)Main Course (5)Side Dish (4)Snack or Street Food (7)Dietary SuitabilityAllContains Dairy or Egg (9)Contains Fish or Shellfish (2)Contains Meat or Poultry (6)Vegan (4)Vegetarian (7)Main IngredientAllBeef (1)Bread (1)Butter (2)Cassava (1)Cayenne Pepper (1)Cheese (1)Chicken (3)Chickpea (1)Coconut Milk (1)Coconut Oil (1)Cod (1)Egg (1)Flour (3)Ghee (1)Ham (1)Honey (2)Milk (1)Onion (2)Peanut (1)Pork (1)Potato (2)Powdered Sugar (1)Rice (1)Scallion (1)Semolina (1)Sesame (1)Sesame Oil (1)Shallot (1)Soy Milk (1)Sugar (1)Tofu (1)Turmeric (1)Vegetable (1)Vinegar (1)Water (1)Yeast (1)Dish FamilyAllEast Asian Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (3)European Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (6)Latin American and Caribbean Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)Middle Eastern and North African Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (4)North American Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (5)South Asian Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)Southeast Asian Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (4)Sub-Saharan African Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)Format/TypeAllEast Asian Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (3)European Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (6)Latin American and Caribbean Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)Middle Eastern and North African Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (4)North American Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (5)South Asian Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)Southeast Asian Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (4)Sub-Saharan African Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)Origin RegionAllBelgium (1)Bengal (1)Brazil (1)China (2)Egypt (3)France (2)Greece (1)Indonesia (3)Iraq (1)Italy (1)Japan (2)Mexico (2)Portugal (1)Southern United States (1)Sri Lanka (1)Sumedang (1)Syria (1)Turkey (1)United States (2)Era (Origin Period)All900 (1)1200 (1)1501 (1)1736 (1)1750 (1)1800 (1)1802 (1)1868 (1)1875 (1)1894 (1)1900 (1)1917 (1)1920 (1)1950 (1)1964 (1)TraditionAllChristmas Feast Traditions (1)Lenten Fasting Foods (1)Mezze (1)Passover and Jewish Holiday Foods (1)Ramadan and Eid Feasting Traditions (2)Street Food Culture (5)Tapas Culture (1)Wedding Feast Traditions (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 25Ayam gorengDeep FryingBeignetDeep FryingBolinhos de bacalhauDeep FryingBuffalo WingsDeep FryingCactus friesDeep FryingCalasDeep FryingCroquetteDeep FryingFalafelDeep FryingFrench FriesDeep FryingFried ChickenDeep FryingFried ice creamDeep FryingFrikkadelDeep FryingLokmaDeep FryingMianwoDeep FryingOnion RingDeep FryingPantuaDeep FryingRempeyekDeep FryingStruffoliDeep FryingTahu sumedangDeep FryingTapioca chipsDeep FryingTaquitoDeep FryingTempuraDeep FryingTonkatsuDeep FryingTulumbaDeep FryingZalabiyehDeep FryingConnectionsAssociated WithFalafel, Dishes Well-attested Tempura, Dishes Well-attested Prepares DishesAyam goreng, Dishes Well-attested Source Ayam goreng (Wikipedia)Beignet, Dishes Well-attested Source Beignet (Wikipedia)tier 3Bolinhos de bacalhau, Dishes Well-attested Source Bolinhos de bacalhau (Wikipedia)Brik, Dishes Well-attested Source Brik (Wikipedia)tier 3Buffalo Wings, Dishes Well-attested Source Buffalo wing -
