Stevia is a plant, and you can actually just buy the plant and eat the leaves as the sweetener. No extracting or chemical processes whatsoever. I had a plant and I used to brew tea with it. You just use the leaves as they are like you said. Also, it is not a brand.
pan-fry verb [T]. âº to âcook âfood in a âpan in a âsmall âamount of âoil or âfat: pan-fried âlobster. (Definition of pan-fry from the Cambridge Advanced Learnerâs Dictionary & Thesaurus Â© Cambridge University Press).
As a form of frying, pan frying relies on oil as the heat transfer medium and on correct temperature and time to retain the moisture in the food. Because of the partial coverage, the food must be flipped at least once to cook both sides. A pan fry takes place at lower heat than does a sautÃ©. This is because the food to be pan-fried, such as chicken breasts, steak, pork chops or fish fillets, is not cut into small pieces before cooking. Pan frying requires a lower heat so that the exterior of the food doesnât overcook until the interior reaches the proper temperature.
