IMHO cooking in oil is frying.
Poaching is done in water, or here, in stock.

I'm currently up to my ears in stock ingredients in the small freezer.
I'm on vacation the end of this month and plan to make a _bunch_ of
frozen stock for rice, split peas and lentils! I even have smoked and
roasted rib bones to use up!

I'll probably make a bunch of stock cubes to use in sauces.
