I have a question to someone of our engineer members in the Pit. Recently on America’s Test Kitchen, it was advised to heat a skillet in the oven at 500 degrees F, for a half hour to bring said skillet to needed temp to sear/cook the ultimate steak. Upon the 1/2 hour point, take the skillet out & put it on a burner & cook the steak until you get the right temp of doneness desired.
In my area of non expertise, is a 1/2 hour a little overkill, or could the same results be attained in 15 to 20 min. “They also recommended the same procedure for cookin a spatchcocked yardbird. Everything looked great, but I’m wondering about the use of energy & cost factor.
I thought I’d pose this to some of our geeks out there. I say that in an appreciative & envious vein, since my brain doesn’t function in that way. Just wonderin.
