How to fry frozen cutlets

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   For cooking you will need: refined sunflower oil and frozen cutlets. Cutlets can be either self-made or manufactured - only you can choose.

2. Step 2:

   

   If there is a decent layer of frost on the cutlets, it must be carefully removed so as not to damage the breading, if there is one. This step applies more to purchased cutlets than to homemade ones. Here is such a completely inconspicuous layer of frost, there is no need to remove it.

3. Step 3:

   

   Take a frying pan with a non-stick coating and medium-high sides. Put it on a high heat and warm it up well for a couple of minutes, while it is dry.

4. Step 4:

   

   Pour odorless sunflower oil into a hot frying pan and warm it up for 20 seconds. Reduce the heat to medium. During the frying process, it will be possible to top up the oil as needed.

6. Step 5:

   

   Put the frozen cutlets in a frying pan and immediately cover it with a lid! The moisture will start to evaporate instantly, hitting the hot oil. There will be splashes - this is 100%. Take care of your hands. On medium heat, fry the cutlets under a closed lid for about a minute. And then (and this is my main trick) just move the cutlets with a spatula from place to place, without turning them over, but simply restoring their free sliding. This will increase the chances of the cutlets not burning.

7. Step 6:

   

   Then turn the cutlets over. You can add more sunflower oil. Cover with a lid and leave for another minute. Then again, our trick is to move the cutlets with a spatula, and cover them again. After this action, the cutlets can be turned over every two minutes until ready. The fire is also medium.

8. Step 7:

   

   When the cutlets are already well browned, the lid can be removed. Gradually, the cutlets will be completely fried inside. In total, I fried mine for 15 minutes, turned it over exactly more than 4 times, but everyone will have it differently.
