Final answer:

An overcrowded pan in pan frying affects even cooking, temperature, and fat/oil overheating.


Explanation:

When pan frying, an overcrowded pan will:

  1. Prevent even cooking as the overcrowding creates steam, leading to steaming the food instead of frying it evenly.
  2. Lower the cooking temperature as the food releases moisture, reducing the heat available for cooking.
  3. Overheat the fat as the excess moisture can cause the fat/oil to splatter and become too hot.
