Olive oil

The amount of oil you should use to pan-fry food depends on a number of factors such as the type of food, the quantity, and howwell you want to cook it, as well as the type of oil and the size of the pan you’re cooking with.

The general rule of thumb is to use just enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan by swirling it around. If needed, you can add more, but it’s not as easy to take it away.
