Your question: How do you sear meat in a frying pan?

Can you sear in nonstick?

Absolutely! Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to sear food in nonstick cookware. While nonstick surfaces are often associated with delicate cooking techniques, such as poaching and simmering, they can also handle the high heat required for searing. The key is to use a nonstick pan with a sturdy, heavy-bottomed design that can distribute heat evenly and withstand the high temperatures needed for searing. Additionally, it’s essential to use a small amount of oil or butter with a high smoke point, such as grapeseed, avocado, or canola oil, to ensure the pan doesn’t stick. When searing, be sure to let the pan heat up completely before adding the food to prevent sticking, and avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even searing. With these tips, you can enjoy the benefits of nonstick cooking while still achieving that classic, crispy sear on your favorite proteins.
