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 use oven mitts
Have good mitts.
I try to make sure there is enough oil in the pan.
How about keeping burn jet plus around just in case. The better thing is to make sure handles are not in the “line of fire” and wear oven mitts. Stay focused on what is cooking and don’t leave it unattended
Oven mits and I stay in the kitchen so I don’t forget
I use oven mitts –long ones and keep the fan on
I use oil and don’t cook to high. Thank you so much for the chance.
I use a deep pan
I use a little oil to avoid burning food at high heat.
If I’ve seared something on the stove top and then throw in the oven, I always put a pot holder on the handle after I’ve removed from the oven and leave it there until the handle has cooled down all the way. I burned my hand once while pregnant moving a skillet that had been in the oven and I’ll never forget that trick!
No kids around to distract me and forget about the food
I keep a close eye on the pan and turn the exhaust fan on
Pot Holders and drainers
My mom taught me very young to keep handles turned inwards, and I have a dish cloth tucked into my waist to grab things with whenever I’ve got multiple pots on the stove.
I use silicone oven mitts that cover my arms all the way to the elbows!
Best is to use something (like an oven mitt or the like) which insulates from the heat. In my experience, after a hot splatter or touching something hot etc, running under cold water (to stop the cooking process) makes a huge difference.
ha, i wish i did something to avoid burns! i guess just stand back
I keep a close watch on foods I am cooking over high heat.
