Fried bologna sandwiches are a savory Southern classic that are easy to prepare and affordable. When cooking bologna, it tends to curl up at the edges, which prevents even cooking and crisping. The steam produced from the heating juices causes this curling. To avoid uneven cooking, a cross or incisions can be made in the bologna before frying. This allows the meat to lay flat, ensuring all parts cook evenly and achieve a desirable golden color.
When bologna is placed on a pan, the juices inside the meat begin to heat up and turn into steam, causing the edges of the meat to lift off.
Cooking bologna evenly is crucial; without making incisions, the edges curl up, preventing them from crisping up and cooking alongside the center.
