Augie Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I have an anova but haven't used it a ton... What's the best method for a good sear that you guys have found? I use cast iron and get it screaming hot. At someone's suggestion here, I don't put butter or oil in the pan as it splatters too much. I just coat the meat in room temp butter to get a great sear. I can't get my gas grill hot enough, and the contact with the pan/grate is where you get the best sear (think grill marks on 100% of the surface), so I like full contact on cast iron. I don't have a torch (yet), but I bet that's good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
