Oh, people actually add a splash of water to a pan of oil to cook? what does it achieve?

@PotatoZero There shouldn't be that much oil left sitting in the pan. If you do, you put in too much. The splash of water is for steaming. Water in, cover it up, and the patty will steam evenly.

@ PotatoZero
For stir frying something like broccoli or cooking dumplings or thick sausages, it's useful to add some water and cover it in order to allow it to steam a bit. This allows the entire thing to cook and heat to reach the center without burning it. In the case of dumplings and sausages, you can make them crispy again after removing the lid.

As for frying, you don't need half the height to fry things, since you can stir them around to get full coverage. By the time you add half the height in oil, you're practically deep frying, I'd say.

@PotatoZero it increases the humidity in the vicinity of the food, but you do need a lid and this effect will help keep the meat from getting dry. You also don't use any oil when you fry hamburger patties because there is fat in the meat. If there was no fat then you would need a bit of butter or oil or it would stick. The amount of grease in the pan is so minimal that no problem should occur from a couple table sppons of water. Deep frying is where you basically float food in boiling oil/fat to cook it, frying is just a bit of oil and fats

It steams the meat cooking it throughout its surface more. They covered it with a lid when the splashed it to keep the steam in. Simply frying one side at a time will take longer and dries the hamburger steak.

@PotatoZero it helps retain juiciness when frying food. Normally, moisture would escape from the food when frying because of tonicity, adding water slows it down or reverses it. Deep frying doesn't have this problem though because oil is non-polar.

"30 minutes cooking show!" -finished in 3 seconds.

Also, the MC is right to take away the food. There are some superior beings in this world that you just cannot afford to cross.
