They will wash well in the dishwasher, or with a sponge or scourer with washing up liquid. When we have used only medium heat in an uncoated frying pan, the cleaning is very easy. If it gets too hot to the touch, it would be too hot and separate your chocolate, but on a low setting, the 7 ply of Demeyere pans allows for chocolate to be melted without a bain-marie. Use the smallest amount of heat possible, and check with your hand that you can still touch the pan body (yes, I know, but remember that chocolate melts in our mouth, hence at body temperature). ![]() You can also use the saucier to melt chocolate, directly on the hob. In some cases, like if I start a chicken pie, brown a few onions, then a bit of bacon, (if the bacon was honey cured, the sugar content might make the food stick), sweat some leeks, then add butter and flour, often this combination starts sticking.ĭon't panic, just reduce the heat, and as I add liquid to make the sauce, it will naturally deglaze the pan, and all those bits of browned food have become pearls of flavour, which add taste to the whole dish. If the food starts to stick, reduce the heat. Generally, start on medium/medium high temperature, with some oil and/or butter, and observe what is happening in your pan. As you turn the meat over, you will see the lovely golden colour of a properly seared surface. If it doesn’t, just wait a bit more, if the juices that come out of the pan are dark brown you definitely have too much heat, so turn the heat down, and wait for the lift. Don’t worry! Stay there, and observe your meat, after a few minutes, you will see the sides of the meat lift up gently, take a fork or a fish slice, and gently lift it, it should come away from the pan with ease. (If you don’t the food will burn) At that stage, your piece of meat is actually completely sticking to the pan, but this is a good sticking. Then, and this is the very important bit, REDUCE your heat by about 1/3, so on my induction hob with a max number 9, I turn it down to 5 or 6. This IS the right/highest temperature.Take your steak, or your chicken breast or your pork chop and put it in the pan, use a fork to press the meat to ensure it touches the pan evenly. The water will probably evaporates in a mini cloud of steam, this is NOT hot enough, try again a few moments later, and at some point, when the water hits the pan, the water turns into little balls of water that do not evaporate but just roll about rather like mercury. Have a glass of water nearby, and as the pan heats up, check the temperature by flicking a bit of water in your pan. Put your pan on the hob, maximum strength. To achieve this we need a very high heat to begin with. To get a juicy steak, we need to sear it, in order to create an outer crust that hardens and keeps all the juices inside.
