Look at title.

May I suggest looking at this article? link text We here at SpanishD!ct aren't homework doers, we're homework HELPERS. Can you at least show that you've given some effort before you ask us for help?
Assuming this isn't homework (pretty difficult verb) do you want to see the total conjugation of the verb since you mention neither mood nor tense? Asking for the usted form isn't near as important as telling us the mood and tense of the verb that you wish to see.
Yes, it is the pronomial form and it means "to be frying (yourself0"
I don't know what we have to do to dispell this habit of thinking that every time one sees se on the end of a verb that it must be reflexive.
My first reaction would have been that the se was going to be the passive se meaning something was fried or the detransitizing se, but without context I wouldn't hazard to state what the pronominal form was going to be used for.
Hi grahambrooke
I think that the question you ask has an answer. If you are unsure about a word or it's usage and cannot find your answer on this site, try the RAE which, I have been told, is the authority on such things.
According to the RAE the pronomial usage of this verb carries this definition
Sentir extremado ardor o calor - to feel extremely burned or hot.
So if you were to use it in a sentence in the pronomial form (using usted), then you might say something like
No se friá - don't get yourself burned/don't burn yourself
It is, however, used colloquially, similarly to asarse which is used when a person is said to get boiling hot. So in this context, and I am guessing here, I would think that fríarse and asarse are used colloquially to mean:
Don't get hot/frustrated/angry/mad/etc
As I said, I am unfamiliar with this usage, and this was just a stab in the dark, so you will probably need to wait for a native speaker for a definitive answer on this one.

Hi, fatcinaroll. I think that your comments might be a bit out of line considering that freírse is listed in our conjugator but does not have a conjugation of the verb listed either.
Hi Grahambrooke
Welcome to the forum. In the future, you might be more successful with your questions if your were to include relevant information/context such as this:
What I need is to make a command. I'm doing a menu project for Spanish 3, and one of our words is freír. She NEVER told us how to congugate it and it's difficult.
Your question makes more sense in that you have provided some relevant details. For example you are likely not trying to make your sentence reflexive (as implied by freírse). If I am not mistaken, you are trying to make your sentence into a passive/impersonal [removed]as with a recipe)
Is this correct? If it is then you would just need to place the verb into the third person singular (indicative) and place se in front of the verb. You can find the conjugation by following the link provided by Marianne or myself above.
In this context, however, I would not think that you meant to use the reflexive se as it would not make much sense that way.

And to fatcinaroll, I'm not having you do my homework for me. I'm asking how to congugate one word or help me at it so I can finish a whole project. But thanks anyway.
"Freir" means to fry, but "freirse" is that even a real verb?
Yes, it is the pronomial form and it means "to be frying (yourself0" , as opposed to freir which means "to fry".
I found the verb freirse in another dictionary. But I still don't understand it.
freírse vpr
1 (Culin) to fry
2 freírse de calor * to be roasting
3 freírsela a algn * to have sb on * , put sb on (EEUU)
