Sometimes a seemingly small extra step can take a dish from seasoned to succulent . Pan-searing is an easy cooking technique in which the surface of the food is cooked at a high temperature until a caramelized crust forms.
It’s a way to add a bold and savory touch your dish, elevating your meat, chicken or fish to flavor stardom. We’ve got a selection of recipes to get you started. Have no fear – you too, can sear!
Every home cook should have a basic seared salmon recipe in their repertoire, this version begins in the pan and continues in the oven. The result is a flavorful piece of fish that can be served alongside anything from baked potatoes to roasted tomatoes. Not too different from a basic Pan Seared Steak (pictured above), once you master the technique you won’t cook any other way.

I avoid burns by using oven mitts and try to pay attention to what I am doing.
I avoid burns by using my splatter guard, wearing long sleeves and an apron, keeping the pot handles (if there are any) towards the inside, using long tongs and mitts, and laying food down away from me instead of towards me when I lower it into a hot pan.
wow
try to keep wet food out of the oil, and just generally be carefu.
Watch the grease, use a splatter guard, avoid the steam.
Sometimes getting burned while being creative in the kitchen is unavoidable; for this reason I keep fresh aloe on hand, from my yard or a pot and tea tree oil. They both work wonders!
just being extra cautious and wearing oven mitts when needed
Avoiding burns…if that is a chance there are three things I do: use the splatter guard (if that is what the mesh tool I put over the pan), a good pair of tongs and a cooking mitt.
Two words … long tongs.
The only way is to keep a close eye on the stove and what you are cooking.
pay attention! simple but not easy!
I often will cover the pan halfway to prevent burns
I use gloves and make sure there are no small children underfoot
I use oven mitts
I would love to learn how to use a cast iron skillet.
I would love to win this skillet – I used to have a grill pan but gave it to my daughter….
I don’t have a pan that I would or could cook on high heat with
I recently moved & left my cookware, including all of my enamel cast iron cookware.
I would love to start replacing my cookware beginning with this skillet!
I pan sear all the time, but a cast iron pan would make it even better! I use oven mitts, mainly.
I am so paranoid I am careful to keep handles in & always have an oven mitt!
lavender oil is great for burns
I wear long sleeves while cooking over high heat.
I’d cherish this pan FOREVER!
I’m as careful as I can be, but I did burn my arm last winter!
i am not super careful… i need some ideas!
I use gloves with silicone ribbing. Generally comfortable and allows me to use all my fingers.
I don’t do anything special, just use ordinary care…
I don’t do anything except try and be careful but I’ve been burned plenty of times. I’ve never heard of Burn Gel Plus but I’m willing to try it. I usually keep my burn area submerged in ice water until I can tolerate air hitting it.
I use a splatter screen and just try to be extra careful.
I use a skillet screen to avoid oil splattering.
I use a mesh cover to keep the hot oil from splattering on me! Always be alert and use the proper gloves when handling high heat kitchen- ware!
I try not to get to close! also use a splatter guard and mitts.
Good quality Oven Mitts for sure!
LOL! I too try to watch Like A Hawk but oven mitts are the way to go, for me anyway! Thanks for a good laugh, I needed it !
I use extreme caution as well as the oven mitts!
Oven mitts with the silicone exterior work best for me!
I don’t avoid burns very effectively. I wear oven mitts.
I use long oven mitts and long sleeves
I hover anxiously, ready to duck!
Make sure I use an oil with a high smoking point like Safflower Oil
We need to compare arms, I am the same way, I have all the right stuff but then get lazy and use the closest towel.
I’m not very good at not burning food while cooking 🙁 So I’m not sure I do a very good job at avoiding burns!

I wish I could say I am but the scars on my arms and hands tell another story :p.
After years, I finally bought myself kitchen mitts though silly me still tends to use a towel.
I usually put a lid over it so nothing splashes out
I stand right by the stove and keep a close eye on the pan.
I watch the pan like a hawk. 🙂
I wear long sleeves and use hot pads.

I use a hotpad when cooking with a cast iron pan.
To avoid burns, I am just very careful and will not leave the pan unattended
To keep from burning, I use super eye power. I watch like the proverbial hawk!
