This some leftist propaganda . Utter bullshit <| sep |> Was that common ? I ' ve watched maybe three or four of her videos and she used beige on the waterline in all of them . <| sep |> Is cooking meat at a varying temperature a bad idea ? That ' s perfectly fine . Often things like steaks are seared over high heat to get a nice crusty sear on them and then they ' re put in the oven at a lower temperature to cook the inside through . I just did something similar with my turkey as well . I started out in the oven on quite high heat for about 20 minutes to crisp up the skin and the dropped the temperature of the oven and let it roast slowly for a few hours . This gets the nice crispy goldenbrown skin while preventing the meat from overcooking and drying out . I ' m wondering if there ' s a rule of thumb to evenly cook the meat . If you have more than one piece of meat in the pan , make sure the meat is all of relatively the same thickness so that it all cooks at the same time and cooks evenly . If you ' re cooking something like chicken breasts then you can even them out with the flat side of a meat tenderizer . Just lightly tap the thicker pieces until they ' re all the same thickness and then cook them . Don ' t crowd the pan with the meat . Generally , as long as the meat isn ' t laying up on the sides of the pan you ' re probably fine , but if you have something like cubed steak then you should only put in enough to loosely fill the bottom of the pan . Too much meat will make the pan heat unevenly , thus the meat will cook unevenly and you ' ll have some that ' s cooked and some that undercooked .
