>durr fat is flavor


My fellow Amerifats, why the fuck are you like this? A roast does not need fat, neither does a steak or chicken. If you can't sear a steak in exactly half a tablespoon of real butter, not "margarine" aka cancer spread, how can you call yourself a passable cook?

Anyone who advocates for Aardvark in this thread will instantly be devoured by Necromancer Lovecraft. Its literally the worst hot sauce in existence.

Butter will burn. You can actually sear with no added fat and it won't stick if your pan is hot enough.

Sure, you could. But why would you want to?

Having sufficent fat to fill all the gaps between the steak and the pan is going to give you the best possible sear.

And having extra to baste the steak with while it cooks like the French do is god tier.

Sir that post is a threat. The internet police have been called and are triangulating your position.

That'll work better but might still start smoking a bit and contributing off flavors

>>10829899

So you can use the highest heat setting without added fats smoking. People complain about the smoke when searing a steak over high heat even with higher smoke point fats. You can still finish it with brown butter after the initial sear though, it is tasty.

>>10829933
You don't need to use the highest heat. Malliard reaction happens well below the smoke points of high-smoke-point oils.

The only "Complaining" you'll hear is from people too inept to turn the knob down.

It "happens", but that doesn't mean it's as good as it could possibly be with higher heat.
