Daily Tip - Personal space while sautéing

When sauteing, make sure that you leave enough room amongst the pieces of food so that you can see the bottom of the pan. If you have too much food in the pan, the food will lower the temperature of the pan and create a lot of steam. Excess steam will prevent even browning.

Another tip for sauteing is to make sure the food you add into the pan is dry - you can simply blot it with a kitchen cloth or paper towel.

I read the title of the post and thought it had something to do with personal space in the kitchen while sauteing to which i am big proponent of... whenever people are in the way I burn myself.
