@Knodel1958 I grow them im my garden, the skin is the bitter part. So the question is not out of date.

Adolf, Some people cook the eggplant with the skin, but I agree with you that the skin is bitter. And I always peel it off

Bob, rinsing, draining and salting IS preprocessing.

Rinsing and draining it before frying, prevents it from absorbing all the oil in the pan and become soggy.

Kathy, apparently you forgot to sprinkle the slices with salt to release the bitterness.

Player #53553731, Idk about that! I made eggplant once, and was told to slice it and let it sit on paper towels to drain and that was supposed to take the bitterness away. It didn’t! I have eaten it cubed, breaded and deep fried. It wasn’t really bitter then though. That’s how my mom made it

They are called eggplants as some of the fruit looks like an egg 🥚
