Can you sear with a non stick? Searing requires preheating the pan hot, which isn’t recommended with Teflon I think

- EGreg 3y agoAsking the biochemists here… Is all searing associsted with carcinogens regardless of how it is done — eg toaster, grill in open flame, in a pan? I tend to really like the seared pieces on bread, steaks, and especially slices of Schwarma / Gyro / Doner
- mplanchard 3y agoAFAIK almost all charred compounds contain some amount of carcinogens of some kind. The question is just whether it’s worth it to you.
- dclowd9901 3y agoYou’re not really supposed to blast heat stainless without anything in it either. But you can certainly get it hot. Just as with nonstick. At least to Leidenfrost temps.
