Cooking Techniques 1

Hi! I will be sharing with you some cooking techniques that all of us must know. Oftentimes, we cook depending on how we see it from our mothers, cook shows or recipe books. Most of us, though, hardly know the basics of preparing food.

For a start, here is SEARING...

Searing is the process of caramelizing the sugars on the meat's surface in order to make an outer layer of flavor and texture. The seared layer of the meat will hinder juices from flowing out of the meat and onto the pan. Overall, searing provides a meat more flavor, better texture and juicier as well.

How to sear? Firstly, make sure that the pan is very hot. The use of oil may depend on how fatty a meat is. But, if you are to use an oil, do not utilize oils that have low smoking points or the oils that ma burn easily. Examples are olive oil or butter Canola. The peanut or sunflower oils are absolutely great for searing.

This is searing guys. Try to make some seared steak at your desired taste.
