Meals in Minutes: Flash in the Pan
The kids are hungry, you’re hungry —
grab a skillet, because you can have a
simple dinner ready in minutes. With high
heat, a few basic rules for pan searing, and
a handful of choice ingredients for making
quick and flavorful pan sauces, you can
expand your weeknight meal repertoire
with minimal effort and delectable results.
The key to sauté flavor is a good sear
and deep browning of your meat, fish,
poultry, or patties — and the key to that
browning is a very hot pan. Nicely browned
meat not only looks more appealing, it
tastes better too. The contrast between the
crusty exterior and moist and juicy interior
creates a delicious textural dimension.
