:: Sauté ::

   Before sautéing food
     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.
