What’s the difference between sautéing and frying

[BayleeReynolds]

Sautéing is like a quick dance with your food over medium to high heat, using just a little bit of oil, while frying usually means you're submerging your food in a lot of hot oil and cooking it longer. So, sautéing is all about that fast, high-heat action, and frying is more about getting that crispy texture by cooking it in oil.
