Cooking at optimum temperatures will ensure your food is cooked perfectly and the amount of oil absorbed into your food is minimised.

Heat your pan to a medium heat before adding oil. Then add your oil and let it heat up slightly (allow 30 -90 seconds depending on the pan and the size of the burner).

Ensure that your food is dry by removing any extra moisture with a paper towel. This will ensure that your food will sear, sealing in flavour and preventing extra oil absorbing into your food.

Your food should sizzle when you put it in the pan, otherwise the pan is not hot enough.
