Searing
Searing is a culinary technique using high heat to quickly brown food surfaces, creating flavor and visual appeal. This cooking technique, often used for meats, fish, and vegetables, locks in juices, develops rich flavors, and achieves an attractive sear. However, searing alone is incomplete, typically followed by braising or roasting for thorough cooking. You’ll often see “pan searing with finishing in the oven” to achieve both surface browning and even cooking. As a dry-heat method, searing requires minimal oil, just enough to lubricate the pan.
