The cooking technique of pan searing is used prior to baking, stewing or poaching meats. Searing involves cooking the meat at high heat to trap the juices of the meat so the food does not dry out during the remainder of the cooking process. Recipes that involve searing meat in a pan often call for the use of flour, which coats the meat. Some stores will gladly sell you special pan-searing flour, which is preseasoned and ready for use. Making your own pan-searing flour is not only cheaper, but easy to do.
