Overloading the Pan
When cooking, it’s tempting to add too many ingredients to the pan at once, leading to overcrowding and uneven cooking. Overloading the pan can also cause the food to steam instead of sautéing, resulting in soggy and unappetizing meals.
To avoid overcrowding, using a pan the right size for the food being cooked is essential. It’s also recommended to cook in batches if necessary, ensuring that each ingredient has enough space to cook evenly. This method also allows the food to develop a crisp exterior while retaining moisture and flavor.
