Overcrowding the Pan
Overcrowding the pan is a common mistake when cooking. It can lead to uneven cooking and prevent food from browning correctly. The overcrowding traps moisture, and the heat can’t penetrate the food, leading to steaming rather than searing. This is why cooking in batches is essential rather than filling the pan to its maximum capacity.
Smaller portions allow food to cook evenly and develop a more desirable crust. It also allows for more control over the cooking process, leading to better flavor and texture. So, it is essential to avoid overcrowding the pan for a better cooking experience.
