Learn to sear
If you pay attention to the next chicken breast, fish, steak, or pork chop you order at a restaurant, you’ll notice some nice brown lines on the outside and a little texture. They seared it. What many restaurants do is put a piece of meat on high heat for just a minute on each side, in a pan, to get that nice sear. Then they transfer the meat to the oven so the inside can cook. The sear keeps the juices inside.
