"" cooking certain proteins in nonstick pans can produce tastier meat, as it gets covered with its own "fond" and browns more deeply. I wouldn't want to make a pan sauce in there afterwards though. ""
"" I wouldn't want to make a pan sauce in there afterwards though. "
Why not ? I do it all the time.
""" the pan sauce is clearly going to be inferior in flavor to one produced in a pan that has more fond. ""
no , not really , when the sauce goes on the meant in the end one always adds flavor to the fond for the sauce
there is some flavor left in the pan , and thus the sauce is up to you
in any pan
do you make Soup out of the Pan fond sauce ? then OK, its a bit weak.
b ut you pour it over the more mall airy meat and then that sauce
adds to the total taste.
"" These are real differences "
I just dont think so. unless your eat each separately.
""" not easy to remove cooking oil from a nonstick pan "
and you added that oil , why ?
"" I wouldn't want to make a pan sauce in there afterwards though. "
why not ? too much oil that the pan never needed ?
consider starting again , and you might be get q fine result
or not.
