Question
What exactly is the difference between pan-frying and searing? They both use the same principles -- high heat, oil, flip once or twice -- and they both create the same result, namely that wonderful golden crust.
Is there a difference?
Answer
Pan-Frying is a complete cooking technique. When something has been 'pan-fried' it is done and ready to serve.
Searing is an incomplete process, a step in a larger process. Searing can happen before roasting, braising or other finishing method. It is even good to sear before marinading.
