Detailed explanation-1: -Common dry-heat cooking methods include: pan frying, searing, roasting, sauteing, sweating, stir-frying, shallow-and deep-frying, grilling, broiling, baking and rotisserie cooking.

Detailed explanation-2: -Deep frying is considered a Dry Heat Method of cooking. It uses heat conduction and natural convection to transfer heat to food submerged in fat. Thus begins that golden brown delight known as deep fried food.

Detailed explanation-3: -Deep fat frying of food is a process in which food is completely submerged (or only partially submerged, i.e., doughnuts) in hot oil whose temperature is typically between 350°F (177°C) and 375°F (191°C).

Detailed explanation-4: -Cooking with ‘dry heat’ is a process where food is exposed to a source of high heat either from below or above (and usually in an oven). This form of heat brings foods to a much higher temperature than cooking with ‘wet heat’. It also gives foods a brown crust or surface, which adds flavour.

Detailed explanation-5: -Frying is the fastest way to cook, as it is the most efficient way to transfer heat into the food. Despite using liquid oil, frying is considered to be a dry cooking method as water is not used in the cooking process and ideally the cooking oil will not be absorbed by the food, thus no moisture is added by cooking.
