In my family, deviled eggs are a holiday staple. I have to admit that getting the eggs cooked perfectly used to be a frustration for me. Recently, my mother complained about them turning out either over or under done. I shared my 'fool proof' method with her and realized that many other people probably experience the same thing. So, to ensure your holiday eggs are always perfect, here is what you do!
Pan roasting is a cooking method which produces a dish that's caramelized on the outside and juicy on the inside. By far, for cooking meat, it's one of my favorite cooking methods. Why? It is quicker than roasting, because you get a head start on the stovetop. It also frees up your stovetop burners for other pans and other dishes in progress. On top of that, you also get to enjoy a much nicer brown crust that you would normally get from simply roasting, due to the high heat on the stove top.
Many recipes tell you the temperature to cook your foods, many just leave that part out. The internal temperature of your food is important to avoid being the victim of a foodborne illness.
Pan-frying is a cousin to the sautéing technique. The main difference between the two is that pan-frying uses a little more oil or fat is used and the process takes a bit more time. The pan-fry method is better suited to cooking larger pieces of food, usually pieces of meat, but you can also pan fry other foods like, potatoes, tofu, pollenta or risotto cakes.
