Gently pat off extra moisture.
This will help you to avoid a steaming the foods instead of browning it.
The best browning effect
To obtain a perfect browning
let the meat cook in the fat for several minutes before moving it.
When placing food in the pan
You should be able to look
between the food and see the bottom of the pan. If you crowd the pan too
much, the pan will not heat properly and the food will steam instead of
browning.
:: Marinated ::
Avoid soaking foods in the
marinade for too long
This is especially true for
openly textured flesh such as seafood and fish, which usually only need
about 45 minutes of marinating time.
Don’t cook marinated food in
aluminum pans
The acid in the marinade can
cause the metal to corrode and affect the flavor of the food.
