To keep schnitzels crispy place the schnitzels on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet which allows air to circulate underneath the schnitzel and the excess oil drips off and prevents it from being soggy.

To make the perfect Schnitzel make sure you pound the meat very thin on both sides and use pank crumbs which are shredded instead of pulsated into almost dust in a food processor like regular bread crumbs are.

To stop a schnitzel from burning you should lower the temperature to medium low immediately after flipping the schnitzel.

Use a deep, straight sided skillet or cast iron pan to fry the Schnitzel which keeps the splatter to a minimum.

And heat the oil until it shimmers or quivers in the skillet and the schnitzel will only take a couple of minutes to cook per side.

You can also bake the schnitzel or deep fry the schnitzel.
