Tips & Tricks

Butter is the key. Bread loves butter. The magic is the buttermilk that remains emulsified in the butter fats. So start with a healthy slug of oil and a sizeable nob of butter in the pan. You’ll see it melt then start to bubble as the pan heats up. This bubbling is your call to action – the pan is now hot enough to add your meat. The bubbling coats the crumb with hot butter fats but importantly does so evenly, ensuring the meat cooks evenly.

First tip do not start with a hot pan. Season the skin and place skin down in a cold pan. Heat the pan slowly. You’ll see the fat start to render. Duck breast will drop so much fat that you may want to pour it off (if so please keep this fat for delicious roasted potatoes). Careful with salmon ‘cos it cooks real quick. Once meat is halfway cooked, turn in the pan then turn off heat. Even the chicken breast will still finish cooking all the way through just from the residual heat in the pan.
