What does the term 'pan seared' in cooking mean?
Answers:
Get a frying pan, with a tablespoon or two of oil, get the oil hot. Then put the meat in the pan for two minutes, flip it, two more minutes. Your meat is seared.
that means stir fried in a pan on stove-top.
it means that you cook the food at a high temperature for a short period of time causing the juices to be locked in because of the crust that is formed.
It means that the food item was "seared" on a high heat pan to sear in the juices and flavor.
Cooking meat or whatever at a very high heat in just a little oil on top of the stove.
Usually it is used to seal in the juices on a piece of meat by cooking the outside quickly, preventing the juices from escaping. The food can then be finished in the oven at a lower temprature to cook the inside.
It is exactly as it sounds. It means to sear the piece of meat, fish, chicken in a pan. Most of the time it is done using olive oil or a buerre blanc (mixture of oil and butter). You sear the meat to create a carmelized crust on the item. Most of the time you finish the cooking process by placing the entire skillet into the oven.
It is that simple.
ok,
You take a saute pan with olive oil on a high to medium heat, when the oil smokes, you quickliy cook your item on each side get it "pan seared"
THAT MEANS THAT YOU TAKE A FRYIN PAN AND STIR FRY THE MEAT OR WHATEVER ON HIGH.
'Searing" means to quickly brown both sides of the meat. What this does is to seal in the juices of the meat. Once the meat is seared on both sides, turn down the heat on your stove (or grille) and cook thoroughly, turning or flipping them every few minutes. Then ENJOY !!!
The definition of searing is: To brown meat or fish quickly over very high heat either in a fry pan, under a broiler or in a hot oven. Searing seals in the food's juices and provides a crisp tasty exterior. Seared food can then be eaten rare or roasted or braised to desired degree of doneness. Therefore, Pan Seared is the above but by using a pan!
Hope this helps!
What everyone failed to mention is that your meat must be dry and room temperature to provide the best caramelization while searing the meat. Water on the meat will allow it to steam, and not sear. Also, the pan and oil must be very hot to sear the food product. And don't overcrowd the pan!
