Searing

Searing (or pan searing) is a technique used in grilling, baking, braising, roasting, sautéing, etc., in which the surface of the food (usually meat, poultry or fish) is cooked at high temperature until a caramelized crust forms. Similar techniques, browning and blackening, are typically used to sear all sides of a particular piece of meat, fish, poultry, etc. before finishing it in the oven. To obtain the desired brown or black crust, the meat surface must exceed 150 °C (300 °F), so searing requires the meat surface be free of water, which boils at around 100 °C (212 °F).

Although often said to "lock in the moisture" or "seal in the juices", searing has been demonstrated to result in a greater net loss of moisture versus cooking to the same internal temperature without first searing. Nonetheless, it remains an essential technique in cooking meat for several reasons:

  • The browning creates desirable flavors through caramelization and the Maillard reaction.
  • The appearance of the food is usually improved with a well-browned crust.

    And if I was wrong again
    What else have you kept from me
    I am in doubt
    What if all these people start a war.
    Once again
    Once again
    It's wrong to believe in it
    I should have been listening
    I know I'm wrong
    But what if all these people start a war.
    Once again
    They will try
    Once again
    They will try
    Words are just some things to hide
    The wonders I've been craving for too long
    Erase my mind and feed me with your love
    And let it all be as it was
    Once again
    They will try
    Once again
