Many housewives love practicality, so they cook the main vegetables for frying in one frying pan.

But experienced cooks do not recommend sautéing carrots and onions together. This method of cooking runs the risk of producing a poor-quality frying.

Subtleties of sautéing

Experienced cooks point out that when frying at the same time, there is a chance of getting raw onions and bland carrots.

Experts emphasized that when carrot juice is simmered, it takes away the aroma of the onion.

Experienced cooks believe that vegetables should be fried one after the other or in different pans if you want to cook them at the same time.

First, heat the frying pan with oil. Then put the onion in. Fry the vegetable for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

Then add carrots. Stir the vegetables constantly while the frying is being done.

Some cooks recommend frying onions after rolling them in flour. It is believed that this will make them more golden. However, experienced chefs do not recommend doing this - the cooking time will increase and the result will be far from what you expected.
