Sauteing doesn’t have to make you… jumpy. It’s all about constantly moving the ingredients in the pan for a very short amount of time. The safest and easiest way is by stirring them using a spatula if you ask us. Of course, you can do it the chef’s way by jerking the pan to toss its content up in the air, but in this case, you have to know your stuff.
First, turn the stove to medium-high and grab your large flat-based low-sided saute pan. Although in many instances the term sauteing is being used as a synonym for pan frying, there is more to it. When sauteing, spread the ingredients in one layer after cutting them thin or small, and don’t get too generous with the oil. You only need a minimal amount. It’s one of the most straightforward cooking techniques out there. But this doesn’t mean you cannot integrate the sauteed goodies into more complex dishes. Or not. Either way, see how.
