Question:

What kind of pan and liquids can I use to fry vegetables and tofu without oil?

— Van Likes

Answer:

Well, we had just spoken about this beautiful, uh, caraway pan. Uh, this is a beautiful, beautiful pan and it browns beautifully. It cooks quickly, it's easy to clean. So I do like this. However, I also like using stainless steel. The only thing about the stainless steel is it might require a little elbow grease when it's time to, uh, cook with it. Um, liquids, water, uh, a vegetable stock. Uh, some people like to use diluted fruit juices. I'm not a fan of that. Uh, some people like to use vinegars. I'm not a fan of that either, but I think water or stock or a cooking wine or wine if you cook with alcohol in your house are other fine ways to deglaze and cook with liquids. So, uh, you know, always feel free to reach out van to student services if you're having difficulty finding the time to get to your classwork. And, uh, our director of student services is always happy and willing to work with students when time might be one of the ingredients that's difficult to get ahold of.
