honestly, cooking on a pan is a lot easier for me (i liked my steak medium/medium rare) but for my friends (well done...i know) i had to experiment with low heat/long cooking time

Naw you don't want any oil at all, if you use it, it'll just fry your steak. Here's how it's done

Cast iron pan heavily salted, heat it up on high till you can hold your hand over the bottom for more than 2 seconds

Have the oven preheated to 450

Throw the steak on for 2 minutes each side. Don't touch it while it's on the pan.

Throw the whole pan in the overn for approx 4-8 minutes (depends how you like your steak cooked) 4-5 for rare, 5-6 med rare, etcc

Pull it out, put the steak on a cutting board or plate, cover it and let it sit for 5-8 minutes. It'll soak up more juices that way.

 

hmm touche. i never understood how to use the oven when making a steak, so yeah basically i damn near deep fried them at first haha. after awhile i learned more and i stopped using a ton of oil, just enough to grease the pan. now i wish i had an oven to try this out...

and remember, you must also know the heat of your oven. not everyone has the same one.

Yo nt chefs or anyone who has a chef knife they love I need a chef knife. I'm going to ask the guys at work too but I'd appreciate your input too. I'm starting to piece together a set. I was thinking of either the global chef's knife or the MAC professional chefs knife. Both are get very good reviews and won't break the bank. Does anyone have either?

[dont be a menace]

yo can i just put any pan in the oven? my mom buys these cheap ones and i'm not sure if the plastic handle can take it. i should know this since i'm in culinary school but we use different pans at school.

and MPLSdunk, you should try going to a store and try holding the handles, that's what i usually look for when i'm looking at knives. i don't really like the handles on the global knives when i held one.

Nice. I need to just demo some knives so I can figure it out. I have a general idea from knives I've used in the past but I am just going to try a bunch anyways. I don't know if I want Japanese or German style though. From what I've used I'm leaning toward Japanese.
