And what about everything being “crispy” . Whatever happened to common or garden “crisp”?

Dickens you are right it’s just a popular use of words to sound superior and make the item sound more professional and above the average persons vocabulary
A load of guff in other words

I think 'pan-fried' became popular in restaurants in the 80s/90s when fine-dining was the thing.

Along with 'jus' - which is, essentially, just thin gravy, this foodie-pretentiousness allowed for smaller portions and higher prices.

Then that would be shallow fry opposite of deep fry Absent

Pan fry tells you nothing, of course it’s in a pan not an egg cup the said pan could even be a deep one for all we know by the information given

As opposed to an air fryer, maybe?

I often see these two words on the packaging of a product.

Goodness me, fried in an actual frying pan!

As opposed to a tired old pair of slippers, methinks.
