Searing

I cook on gas and I own far too many pans. I still wonder what type of pans will give me the best sear on a steak and a large piece of meat. Of the pans I’ve owned and still own, the worst ...

I haven’t thought much about it until recently, except the times when I remember taking a steak out half an hour before cooking. Talking about meat from the fridge here. At some point I put a th...

Very perplexed. I’m about to lose my gas range and have to replace it with portable electric burners. I’m leaning towards induction but have never used it before. I’m mostly worried about my ...

Perhaps I’m not searching correctly for it. But I’ve only found references to its use on chowhound. And therefore can’t just read an article about it. I’ve got a 12inch CI skillet that ha...

The purpose: Searing a protein on a non-reactive surface, 18/10, after a sous vide cook. The problem: My stainless pans won’t hold up to temperature drop. My Himalayan salt rock does do the job...

I apologize if this has been discussed recently, I did a quick search and didn't find anything that seemed to fit the topic. I have almost always had a problem cooking skinless, boneless, chicke...

I'm considering buying a Demeyere plancha. I currently have a Le Creuset cast iron griddle pan, which I don't use enough because I'm not 100% happy with the results. Before buying though I just hav...

I currently own a 9-inch (22cm) Le Creuset TNS shallow skillet which I use solely for the purpose of cooking fried/scrambled eggs and omelettes. I'd like to invest in a larger 11-inch (28cm) for mo...

Usually, I brown short ribs before braising by searing them on all sides for 3-5 minutes per side. Last night, though, I was making a much larger batch and decided instead to roast them in the oven...

So after reading numerous bits about the power of reverse searing I tried it over the weekend. The short of it is that my steak sailed past my goal temp by 15 degrees in the sear process. Here ...

So chowers, I received an Instant Pot Aura Pro 8 qt for Christmas. Anyone have any good recipes? It's NOT a pressure cooker and, to me, looks like a really pricey slow cooker. Can you share some...

Hi - the past month or so, I have determined I need to cook more at home to be a bit healthier. It is working so far (shedding pounds and saving money), but I want to make sure I am not cooking unh...

I'm a bloody steak kind of girl, but I'm having a friend over for steak next week who likes his well done. I was considering cooking the steak to medium and hoping he'd be all right with it, but he...

OK my friends, I've been reading a lot on here that people don't believe in using Non-stick for searing, to stick with carbon steel or cast iron (I own both). Why is this? From what I observed from...
