Is there really any reason to use anything other than pan frying

Sure, different cooking methods for different results.

Pan fried is good, but roasted in the oven is good, braising in the oven is also good. Slow cooking on the stove or in a crock pot is good. Grilling outside is good too. Poaching can be good as well.

so much unrelated wtf in this picture. Blue turkey, spray bottle condiments, popcorn in watermelon.

It's like a dumpster-diver's hobo feast...

Nice tumblr image newfaggot

Tell us why you think cooking chicken in the oven is the one exception, OP. This could be amusing.

So many questions about that image. For example, the guy in the bottom right has a whole jar of cranberry jelly with a grilled pineapple slice on top. wut

Grilling is less splatter and the charcoal adds flavor. So there's a couple reasons for you. It's my favorite way to cook meat second to barbecuing.

Somebody might answer braising for tough cuts of meat, but barbecuing is once again superior. I love those smokey flavors.

If I can't grill, then I definitely pan fry. So I'd probably answer "yes" to your question. Fried pork chops are the GOAT.

I meant I'd answer "no" if I can't cook with coal/wood. I'm a fucking moron.

I'm eating pan fried porkchops right now after years of shitty propane BBQ and oven chops. Started cooking steak on pan too and I just can't see a good reason to use anything else. I have heard you should finish a pan fry in the oven but it seems unnecessary.

fuck I even tried frying the meat I'd have in a stew and adding it after and it was GOAT.

What's that windex bottle filled with?

Gravy and blue cheese

For the record there was a bunch of pics of this and it turns out it was from a gay orgy.

Why?

The guy who makes it specializes in anti-food porn. It's one of those things liberals do when they get their useless art degrees. kek

>blue turkey.
I'd love to hear the story on that.

Otherwise, different cooking methods provide different flavor and allow for different techniques.
