What is the difference between to fry and to braise. According to the internet, both means cooking something in oil without soaking in it.
I watched different videos on youtube using these words but it seems like they do the same thing .For example fry pan steak and braised steak.
Frying is cooking by immersion in oil—either total immersion, or partial immersion on each side.
Braising is a two-stage process: the food is first either seared in a dry pan or browned in a little oil, and then cooked slowly in a simmering aqueous (non-fat) liquid.
