    I found setaming literally everything is the hack to getting things to brown quicker and better. Makes caramellized onions way faster too. Just throw a bit of water in when frying and cover until initial stage of cookedness is reached.

      Interesting! I guess that makes sense actually since the steam will make the whole pieces evenly hotter?

          Well, when frying, the hot stuff is at the bottom, right? The pan. When streaming, the hot stuff is all around - the steam - making it 100C evenly all around.

          Gonna have to try that technique. Cheers, friend

            Ah just pointing out the steam 100c error so you can fix it if you care.

                100c is boiling point where water transistions into steam at sea level. Steam can be much, much hotter.

                  I’m not sure that steam used in cooking actually gets much hotter than 100 C - do you have any information on that subject I can read?

                    That is a very good point actually. I will try to measure it later, you could be absolutely right
