Thanks for your reply. By 'frying' I mean cooking in oil or fat, not
necessarily deep oil. Eg. fried chicken.

transitive verb
1 : to cook in a pan or on a griddle over heat especially with the use
of fat

Okay, what word do people use when preparing french toast? Hopefully
something more specific than 'cook' or 'make' or 'fix'.
