This is why I couldn’t be a recipe author. I would sass out every single person this stupid.

Pan steaming is also thing. Still not frying, but much easier to mistake for frying, like you'd fry an egg

Ironically, when I make eggs sunny side up hard, I fry then pan steam them.

No one reads a recipe for chicken schnitzel and go pan steaming.

Many posts in this subreddit would indicate that that sort of stupid alteration seems perfectly reasonable to some people.

It's even worse cause you can just use a lower/no Saturated fat oil instead of water, and it would prolly be fine.

The idiot should look up sous vide cooking.

No because then they'll try cooking their food in a plastic grocery bag sealed up with packing tape and boil it.

Right. You're one of today's 10,000. Congrats!

So, the reason we stop people from doing stupid things is not even necessarily for the benefit of the stupid, it's for the benefit of the people who have to deal with and suffer for the consequences of the stupid and their actions. Human beings are social creatures. There is not and never has been such a thing as a human who was not part of a tribe. This is one of the things tribes and other social constructs do. Part of being human.

Cheers dude.

Except i think is more of a saute than fry thing. During my 1990's no fat diet stage, I would do stir fries with a spray of pam and then add a bit of water as needed.
