Here’s how you can use the F965NF to master the perfect sear.

Why Searing Matters

Searing is a key step in cooking that enhances flavor, texture, and appearance. It creates a caramelized crust that adds depth to meats while sealing in natural juices for maximum tenderness.

Using the F965NF for the Best Sear

1. Preheat Your Pan Properly
   • Use a heavy-bottomed pan, such as cast iron or stainless steel, to retain heat.
   • Place the pan over the high-powered gas burner and allow it to heat for at least 2-3 minutes.
2. Choose the Right Burner
   • The F965NF features multiple burners with varying BTUs. Use the highest BTU burner to reach the necessary high heat quickly.
3. Use High-Quality Oil
   • Select oils with high smoke points, such as avocado, grapeseed, or peanut oil, to prevent burning.
   • Add a thin layer of oil to the hot pan before placing your protein.
4. Pat Meat Dry Before Cooking
   • Excess moisture on the surface of the meat can create steam and prevent proper browning.
   • Use a paper towel to remove moisture before seasoning and placing the meat in the pan.
5. Let It Cook Undisturbed
   • Once the meat is placed in the pan, avoid moving it for at least 2-3 minutes.
   • A golden-brown crust forms best when the protein has direct, uninterrupted contact with the pan.
6. Use a Meat Thermometer for Accuracy
   • For perfect doneness, use a thermometer to monitor internal temperatures:
     • Medium-Rare: 130-135°F
     • Medium: 135-145°F
     • Well-Done: 160°F and above
