Tips

  • Do not crowd the pan — packed meat steams instead of browning.
  • בטיחות לעוף ולהודו: לפי הנחיות USDA לצרכנים בארה״ב, בדקו במדחום שהבשר הגיע ל־74°C (165°F); צבע והשחמה אינם בדיקת בטיחות. שאריות יש לחלק לכלים רדודים ולקרר בתוך שעתיים, או שעה כשהסביבה חמה מ־32.2°C. לפי אותה הנחיה, השתמשו בשאריות מקוררות בתוך 3–4 ימים וחממו שוב ל־74°C. הוראות הרשות המקומית קודמות להנחיה זו.

Common mistakes

  • Too low a heat steams instead of creating a crust.
