Frying pan? What kind

[KarenBev]

I have heard rather than fry foods it is always best to grill or bake foods in oven. I am new to this site I was 15stone and am now just over 13 I have a lot of health issues .😞 I figure if I lose more weight I will feel much better. 😉 new member Karen

Hi and welcome, KarenBev

Well done for losing almost 2st, that's a great achievement!

I personally would rather fry than grill, as the food ends up tastier and moister. I have no fear of fat

I do a combination. Some foods are better pan friend (for example, just enjoyed a sea bass fillet with thyme and black pepper butter tonight that needed only 7 minutes to cook).

However, with it I had oven roasted Mediterranean chargrilled vegetables which were oven baked.

Many vegetables flavour is improved by baking I think - butternut squash, celeriac, carrot, etc.

Of course, you don't have to use a LOT of oil when pan frying - and I often use a griddle pan which means I am able to use less oil.

Hi Pineapple27 That sounds really delicious and will give it a go I use a chargrilled pan also and I also love to steam vegetables

KarenBev, lovely to hear from you and welcome.

Very well done on already losing 2 stone. I am very impressed and pleased for you.

In my defence I use very little oil when I fry anything and do bake where possible. Re grilling ..... I have an electric oven with a sort of grill at the top which takes for ever to heat and is costly to run.

Some time soon I would like to buy a gas oven like my hob but in the meantime I make do.
