The sear

Crust from edge to edge

The aluminium runs right to the rim, so the steak sears evenly across the whole pan, not just over the burner.

Technique

Master the perfect pan temperature

A cold pan and food sticks. Too hot and it burns. All you need is the right heat zone, and there is a simple test for it.

What the Leidenfrost effect is

  • A drop of water glides across the surface instead of evaporating instantly.
  • That means the pan is at the ideal cooking temperature.
Water droplets dancing on the pan

Preheating the pan

  • Put the pan on medium heat.
  • Wait 2-3 minutes.
  • Test it with a few drops of water.

Reading the signs

  • Too cold: the water sits flat and evaporates slowly.
  • Too hot: the water bursts into steam at once.
  • Just right: the water beads and glides.
Perfect temperature reached

Adding the oil

  • Once the pan passes the test, add the oil.
  • The oil will shimmer, not smoke.
  • Now the pan is ready for food.
Ready to cook

One tip

Every hob has its own right setting. Once you have found yours it does not change, and you stop thinking about it.

Fully clad

Heat reaches the edges, not just the centre

A cheap pan has an aluminium disc only on its base. Here the three layers run all the way round, up the walls too. Switch and watch what happens to the food.
