Sautéing

🔬 How It Works

A thin layer of fat conducts heat from the pan to the food. High heat and constant movement ensure quick, even cooking with browning.

📝 Step by Step

1. 1

   Heat pan over high heat until very hot

2. 2

   Add oil and let it shimmer

3. 3

   Add food in a single layer (don't crowd)

4. 4

   Toss or stir constantly

5. 5

   Cook until done, usually just a few minutes

💡 Pro Tips

• ✓Have all ingredients prepped before starting (mise en place)
• ✓Pat food dry for better browning
• ✓Don't overcrowd - cook in batches if needed
• ✓Use a pan large enough for food to move
